Crosswalk.com: What did you find rewarding and/or challenging about writing this edition of the book?

Chuck Colson: The thing I found most challenging about this book was to try and convey a sense of urgency. Although 10 years ago we tried to convey a sense of urgency - you look around now and see that the church hasn't caught it. It can be, for a guy like me, frustrating sometimes to think, 'I'm doing all this writing and thinking and preaching and exhorting and it's like pulling people along by their heels. When's that spark going to hit the church? When is the church really going to be the church?"

Colson will address thousands in an unprecedented live event,  "Being the Body: A Challenge to the Church," which is based on and titled after his book. On Sunday evening, May 18th, Colson will issue this call to church leaders and laypersons alike, broadcasting live via satellite into over 2,000 churches nationwide and reaching up to 500,000 people.
