This final book by Charles Colson, composed in the final years of his ministry, issues a clarion call for Christians to think critically about today's most pressing issues-crime and punishment, Islam, same-sex marriage, the persecution of Christians, and more.

One of the most respected and influential Christian leaders of the last several decades, Chuck Colson engaged millions through his books, public speaking, and radio broadcasts.

In My Final Word, longtime Colson coauthor Anne Morse has selected and arranged pieces Colson wrote mostly during the last decade of his life, spotlighting what he saw as key topics of ongoing importance for Christian cultural engagement. Some of these issues include:

• crime and punishment
• natural law
• Islam
• same-sex marriage
• the persecution of Christians
• and more

Longtime readers and new readers alike will be struck by the power and immediacy of Colson's arguments. My Final Word is a fitting end to Colson's distinguished publishing career, a behind-the-scenes encounter with an influential thinker, and a needed call to an ongoing and relevant Christian public witness. It will be of great interest to Colson fans and new readers alike, providing one last opportunity to hear in his own words Colson's vision for a socially engaged church that brings about good for all of society.
