The Good Life
Seeking purpose, meaning, & truth in your life
Charles Colson
This is the rest of the story after Born Again. Colson addresses
the question that is so often asked, “Have I lived a good
life?” The Good Life tells amazing stories of high profile
people and their victories, failures, and consequences. One
of the many topics in the book focuses on how can society maintain
ethics when it rejects truth and lacks grounding in morality.
Colson’s writing prompts us to take a look at our lives
and see clearly the evidence of the invisible hand of providence
guiding us at critical points – even before we become
Believers. It tells of how turning away from the questions and
dilemmas of life is a tragedy and the quest for meaning and
truth makes life worth living. Although answers can be heartbreaking,
you can become victorious through suffering and defeat. We all
have to understand the evil in ourselves before we can embrace
the good in life. This book explains how life is being on a
pilgrimage and learning on a daily basis. We all want to live
the good life so we must reflect on what really matters and
try to make sense out of life’s frustrations. Colsen reinforces
how the Lord can take us from where we are and spirit us into
a limitless future. “Whoever wants to save his life will
lose it but whoever loses his life for me will save it.”
The Good Life is a great read for people who want to learn how
to counterattack the attacks we all are confronted with. It
also contains interesting political history.
