The Faith book blog tour
The Faith book blog tour
Apr 16, 2025 2:10 PM

The PowerBlog has been selected as one of the host blogs for Chuck Colson’s blog tour, promoting his new book, The Faith. It’s an honor to be included among other luminaries of the blogosphere like The Dawn Treader, , and Tall Skinny Kiwi.

A bit about the book:

In their powerful new book The Faith, Charles Colson and Harold Fickett identify the unshakable tenets of the faith that Christians have believed through the centuries—truths that offer a ground for faith in uncertain times, hope and joy for those who despair, and reconciliation for a world at war with God and itself.

We’ve been slated in the #2 position, although things are a bit backed up since Chuck was busy last week at the National Pastors Convention. You can check out more details about that event at the Zondervan Blog.

In 2006 Colson was the featured speaker and recipient of the Faith & Freedom award at the Acton Institute’s annual dinner. Another of his recent books, God & Government, is also worth a look.

After the break is the schedule for the blog tour, which I’ll update with more specific links as the tour progresses. While the start might be delayed, the order is likely to remain the same. Each of the participants was able to submit an exclusive question for Chuck to answer.

Business for the common good
“If you are a young person saying ‘I want to go into ministry because I want to change culture,’ how would delete the word ministry and replace it with business?” asks Greg Thornbury, president of The King’s College in New York City. Thornbury isn’t trying to discourage people from ing pastors and missionaries. Instead, he’s trying to reframe the misperception many young people have that full-time vocational ministry is the only or primary way for Christians to have an influence...

Don’t fear the ‘job-killing’ robots: Remembering the power of creative service
As Americans face increasing pressures of economic change and uncertainty, many have relished in a range of renewed nostalgias, whether recallingthe blissful security of post-war industrialism or therise of the Great Society and the prowess of the administrative state.

Indeed, as politicians attempt to prevent or subvert economic change by squabbling over wage minimums, salary caps, trade barriers, and a host of regulatory fixings, entrepreneurs and innovators are accelerating with a subversion...
Ted Cruz highlights the dangers of EU healthcare systems in debate with Bernie Sanders

The format gave both sides the opportunity to make substantive arguments, and Ted Cruz did not disappoint.

Samuel Gregg asks, ‘what good is money?’
While money’s purpose is to serve as a medium of exchange, this is not its only function.

R.I.P. Hans Rosling: 4 memorable talks by the Swedish statistician
This week, we received the sad news that Professor Hans Rosling has passed away due to pancreatic cancer. A brilliant statistician and mesmerizing public speaker, Rosling was widely known for his dazzling data visualizations pelling lectures on health, poverty, population, religion, inequality, and economic growth. His lectures were heavily driven by data, and although his conclusions sometimes suffered from an underlying utilitarianism, Rosling’s ultimate contribution was to point us beyond the numbers and data points. Rosling had an exceptional gift...
