Title: Burden of Truth: Defending the Truth in an Age of Unbelief by Charles Colson ISBN: 0-8423-0190-9 Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers Pub. Date: 02 January, 1998 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $9.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.67 (3 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: More short, simple, and readable Potato Chip editorials.
Comment: Once again the texts of several of Charles Colson's BreakPoint radio commentaries are collected into the book format. As with A Dance with Deception, which I finished a short while ago, the short editorials focusing on the difficulties with maintaining a fundamental Christian world view in a seeming increasingly harsh and anti-Christian world are readable and, more importantly, thought provoking. Recommended.
Rating: 4
Summary: Overall a good book
Comment: Those of you who enjoy Colson's "Breakpoint" radio series will definitely enjoy this book, for it is a compilation of many of those "episodes."
The book is divided up by topic into various "chapters," with 6 to 10 short "clips" per chapter. Some will warm your heart, some will make you angry at the world we're in, and some will make you wonder how people could be so stupid!
This is a good book to read if your looking for somthing light, or if you aren't able to devote undivided attention to something deeper, or if you're looking for something you can read to fill in short intervals of time.
Rating: 3
Summary: lots of stretching and warmup, not much running
Comment: Turning to the first page of this book, I expected a hard hitting, unified description of "truth in an age of unbelief." The book is definitely hard hitting, and Chuck Colson is renowned for his willingness to take on issues that are controversial.
What's missing in this book is unity. This book is essentially a series of anecdotes. "Eclectic" is the word that comes to mind. This is a good book to read, I guess, if you only have three pages worth of time to read in each sitting, and you don't mind switching topics after those three pages. Or it might be useful to students looking for ideas to develop into a research paper.
That type of content proved too fragmented for me to enjoy. This was my first book by this author; I will check the Table of Contents more carefully before beginning my next Chuck Colson book.
