In an article posted on Christianity Today Charles Colson explores how reason and faith are dramatically effecting Atheism. Colson points out that many of today's leading British intellectuals are turning to Christianity, or at least opening their hearts to the gospel.

But it does illustrate something I have been teaching for years: Faith and reason are not enemies. We are given reason as a gift. And while we can't reason our way to God (only the power of God can transform fallen men—I've seen that in prisons for over 32 years),I have long believed that Christianity is the most rational explanation of reality. And that fact, winsomely explained, can powerfully influence thinking people to consider Christ's claims.

These concepts parallel Colson's most recent book The Faith, in which Colson explains the foundations of faith and bridges the gap between belief, understanding and life. This inspiring and enlightening book engages you with powerful accounts of personal transformation that passionate, intelligent believers have made for centuries, and still make every day. Help you believe more strongly, love more deeply and serve more passionately.
