Charles Colson, former aide to President Nixon, founded Prison Fellowship Ministries in 1976, after doing a prison term himself. It has since become the world's largest outreach to prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families. Colson is also a popular speaker and author, having written 23 books, which collectively have sold more than five million copies. His radio feature "BreakPoint" is aired daily on some 1,000 outlets nationwide.
"A crisis of immense proportion is upon us": the erosion of traditional values in the institutions of family, state, and church. This is Colson's premise in this spiritual call-to-arms, whose ideas were first presented as lectures at Wheaton College. He starts with a critique of Enlightenment assumptions, exposes the relativism and decadence he finds to be rampant today, and closes with a challenge to Christians to stem the tide. This resembles Dee Jepsen's What's Happening to My World ? ( LJ 4/1/89) in its stress on attitudinal change rather than practical strategies, but differs in its intellectual rigor and strong, persuasive style. Recommended for general and church/theological libraries.
