What makes the book interesting is that Colson has a background in politics having served as Special Counsel to the Nixon administration.  But he was later convicted and jailed for his involvement in <em>Watergate<\/em> which led to his conversion to Christianity. His newfound faith led him to start <em>Prison Fellowship<\/em> which serves inmates to this day. He has left a legacy as being one of Christianity&#8217;s greatest thinkers.
