About Author

Charles Colson

Deputy Engineer-in-Chief to the British Admiralty From online bio: "He joined the Admiralty in 1866, and was for several years assistant engineer on the Portsmouth Dockyard Extension. "After acting from 1881 to 1883 as Civil Engineer of Portsmouth Dockyard, he was sent to Malta to design a new naval dock there, and his designs being accepted, he was promoted Superintending Civil Engineer and entrusted with the construction of the work, which he carried out successfully and economically by departmental labour. While stationed at Malta he designed an extension of Gibraltar Dockyard, afterwards carried out under his supervision. "In 1892 he was appointed Superintending Civil Engineer at Devonport, and 2 years later he became Assistant Director of Works at the Admiralty. "On the formation in 1835 of the Naval Works Loan Department, Mr. Colson was appointed to this branch as Deputy Civil Engineer-in-Chief. He was responsible, under Sir Henry Pilkington, for the design and construction of much Admiralty work at Portsmouth, Keyham, Gibraltar, Hong-Kong, the Cape and elsewhere. Mr. Colson retired in 1905, having received a C.B. in recognition of his public services. He was the author of a work on “Dock Construction,” and of several Papers contributed to the Proceedings, for one of which he was awarded a Telford Premium."

Description

Rightly understood and rightly communicated, the Christian faith is one of great joy. It is an invitation to God's kingdom, where tears are replaced by laughter and longing hearts find their purpose and their home. This is the heart of the gospel: God's search to reclaim us and love us as his own. But have we truly grasped this? Those of us who have disdained Christianity as a religion of bigotry---have we repudiated the genuine article or merely demonstrated our own prejudice and ignorance? Those of us who are Christians---have we deeply apprehended the mission of Jesus, and do our ways and character faithfully reflect his beauty? From the nature of God, to the human condition, to the work of Jesus, to God's coming kingdom, and all that lies between, how well do we understand the foundational truths of Christianity and their implications? The Faith is a book for our troubled times and for decades to come, for Christians and non-Christians alike. It is the most important book Chuck Colson and Harold Fickett have ever written: a thought-provoking, soul-searching, and powerful manifesto of the great, historical central truths of Christianity that have sustained believers through the centuries. Brought to immediacy with vivid, true stories, here is what Christianity is really about and why it is a religion of hope, redemption, and beauty.
