Francis & Edith Schaeffer: Evangelical Warriors - Softcover

Francis and Edith Schaeffer were as energetic and forceful as they were tiny physically. The world noticed Francis in the 1960s as an evangelical who could persuade. He generated a prolific, well-received literature of Christian apologetics. In addition Francis and Edith founded L’Abri Fellowship to counsel the spiritually dispossessed. Francis was downed by lymphoma at age 72 in 1984. Edith endured, active almost to the end in 2013 at age 98. BILLY GRAHAM on Francis: “one of the great evangelical statesmen of our generation...he had keen insight into the major theological and philosophical battles of our time.” PRESIDENT REAGAN on Francis: “one of the great Christian thinkers of our century, with a childlike faith and a profound compassion for others.” OS GUINNESS on Edith: “...a great heart of love, and such indomitable faith, tireless prayer, boundless energy, passionate love for life and beauty... irrepressible laughter, and seemingly limitless time for people...” In the 21st century the legacy of Francis & Edith is being attacked from within their own family! And L’Abri Fellowship is drifting from its moorings!
