	Charles Colson - The Counterfeit Gospel (Book Reviews)
		Colson enthusiastically informs us that the head of Prison Fellowship in Ecuador is a Roman Catholic and that Prison Fellowship services (Prison Fellowship acts as a ersatz-church with officers and priests) are held in a room in which "pictures of Christ and other religious symbols were everywhere " (7).
		Colson quotes Al Wolters with approbation: "It is by listening to the voice of God in the work of his hands that the farmer finds the way of agricultural wisdom." Colson continues: "The same is true in economics, politics, the arts, medicine, communications, and education -- in every area of society.
		Colson is a good example of a man who has had some sort of religious experience and is smart enough to parlay that into an organization and movement that keeps his celebrity status alive.

	The Dartmouth Review: Charles Colson's Life Redeemed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Colson’s story can be roughly divided into four movements: his youth and eventual movement to Washington, his meteoric rise to become President Richard Nixon’s special counsel, his precipitous fall and conversion to Christianity, and his post-prison days as a prison minister and leading evangelical public figure.
		Colson parlayed his position as co-director of the Key Issues Committee on the 1968 Nixon campaign–Colson had been a Nixon fan since his days on the Hill and urged the former vice president to run for president four years earlier–into a newly-created position as Special Counsel to the President.
		Colson claims he had no knowledge of the break-in and only passed along the money that funded the break-in of Pentagon Papers leaker Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist’s office–the incident that led to his conviction–without knowing what it was to be used for.

	"Born Again, Again" by Max Blumenthal
		This Charles Colson, the one whose name is commonly preceded by “hatchet man,” is a thing of the past, according to Colson's friends, supporters, and now his biographer, Jonathan Aitken.
		The Charles Colson who appears in Aitken's narrative is a stock character, a humble and forgiving man who is too busy helping prisoners to be embroiled in the hot-button issues of the day.
		Colson was eventually convicted for his part in the Ellsberg break-in; during his seven months in prison, he studied the Bible obsessively.

	Charles Colson By David Plotz
		Colson may be the inspiration of the joke, "A liberal is a conservative who's been to prison." On prison issues, he is a darling of the left.
		(Colson likes to joke that he can't vote because he's an ex-con.) Colson learned the language of politics before he learned to preach, so he knows how to speak to secular audiences in ways that won't offend them.
		Colson has been an equal-opportunity critic, smacking the left for its sneers at religion and the right for its intolerant moralizing.

		COLSON: Well, this is very much like the Watergate [case], in the sense that it wasn't the original crime in Watergate, that is, the break-in to the Democratic headquarters, it was the cover-up.
		It is clear that Colson's view on the covert status of CIA operatives is shared by his ilk in the White House.

	The Resurrection of Charles Colson
		While Charles Colson will always be associated with Watergate, he has followed a different path than either G. Gordon Liddy or Pat Buchanan; a path made up of reinvention, reform, religion and support from a number of conservative foundations.
		While Colson's commitment to prisoners and their families is certainly admirable, and while some believe PFM provides a beacon of light in the dark and hopeless world of prisons, there are numerous critics of Colson's faith-based approach.
		Colson also claimed that al-Qaeda training manuals "specifically identify America's prisoners as candidates for conversion because they may be 'disenchanted with their country's policies'." Colson also pointed out "terrorism experts fear these angry young recruits will become the next wave of terrorists.

	Amazon.com: Charles W. Colson : A Life Redeemed: Books: Jonathan Aitken (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Evangelical leader Chuck Colson could hardly ask for a more friendly biographer—not only did Aitken write a sympathetic biography of Richard Nixon, whose downfall Colson shared in the wake of Watergate, but Aitken is himself a former politician (a British M.P.) who went to jail and then discovered evangelical Christian faith.
		Charles W. Colson -- the rougher, more familiar nickname "Chuck" is scarcely to be found in these pages -- tells the story of a working-class kid from Boston who attended Brown University, became a political aide to Sen. Leverett Saltonstall (R-Mass.) and rode Nixon's coattails to power.
		Unlike the unfortunate convicts unmercifully hounded and courted by Colson's ministry, Colson was preaching to the choir with Aitken, who returns the favors to Colson, with this way-too-thick inspirational sop.

		Earlier in this book I mentioned that Colson had joined a Southern Baptist Church in the Washington area but that, according to Colson, his wife was a born again practicing Roman Catholic who taught a woman’s Bible study class in the Baptist Church.
		Surely the fuzziness in Colson’s view should cause thinking evangelicals to be careful of him and to give him good theological counsel.
		The whole incident of Charles Colson and his respected place in new evangelicalism, regardless of doctrine, shows the theological carelessness which is popular in the movement,

		Subtitle: Shockingly, Charles Colson of Watergate fame, supposedly "Christian", defends Harry Potter by telling Christian parents that the magic in Harry Potter books is the "good" magic.
		Colson is also evidently ignorant of the prohibition of such casting of spells by Almighty God in Isaiah 8:19.
		Colson is leading many Christian parents and their children badly off course, seeking to take them off the Narrow Path to eternal life, and set them on the Broad Path that leads to Hell.
