Living the Full Image of God

Francis Schaeffer emphasize the beauty of God – a message Tom Pratt, former PF president, understood very well, as Chuck recalls in the BreakPoint archive remembering Francis Schaeffer.

When you walk into the office of Tom Pratt, the president of Prison Fellowship, immediately you sense that this is no ordinary office. There's no imposing, executive-style desk.

The BreakPoint commentary aired last June. Chuck calls us to support every good effort to reform America’s schools.

Christmas Gifts that Keep on Giving

This BreakPoint commentary first aired in 2007.

Every year the Christmas season poses a dilemma. How do we show our friends and family our love without going overboard with a present? Without “buying in” to the rampant consumerism of the season? How can you tastefully share the real meaning of Christmas? Well, here are a few ideas.
