[Scarlett O.]

I've always admired the guy and been a big fan of his books. I know he is going to glory so I'll pray for his family during this hard time of waiting.

Washington (CNN) –Chuck Colson, the convicted Watergate figure turned evangelist, is near death after suffering a brain hemorrhage earlier this month, his media representatives said Wednesday.

“It is with a heavy, but hopeful heart that I share with you that it appears our friend, brother and founder will soon be home with the Lord,” Jim Liske, CEO of Prison Fellowship Ministries, which Colson founded, said in a statement.

“Chuck's condition took a decided turn yesterday, and the doctors advised Patty and the family to gather by his bedside,” Liske said, referring to Colson’s wife.

Colson, 80, underwent surgery this month to remove a pool of clotted blood on the surface of his brain.

At least he will be spared witnessing America in its final death throes. He's a good patriot.

Yep. Kinda off the subject, but that's what I think of whenever a WWII veteran dies..

I had no idea he was that close to death. Praying for the family.

 

[Scarlett O.]

He has passed.

I recommend that you read his book, Loving God. His conversion testimony is profound and his work with prison ministries was wonderful. I hope and pray it continues.

What a testimony to Christ changing lives.

Another great soul is with the Lord.
