In 1974 Charles W. Colson pleaded guilty to Watergate-related
offenses and, after a tumultuous investigation, served seven months
in prison. In his search for meaning and purpose in the face of the
Watergate scandal, Colson penned Born Again. This
unforgettable memoir shows a man who, seeking fulfillment in
success and power, found it, paradoxically, in national disgrace
and prison.
In more than three decades since its initial publication, Born
Again has brought hope and encouragement to millions. This
remarkable story of new life continues to influence lives around
the world. This expanded edition includes a brand-new introduction
and a new epilogue by Colson, recounting the writing of his
bestselling book and detailing some of the ways his background and
ministry have brought hope and encouragement to so many.
