By the time he was nineteen, Frank Schaeffer’s parents,
Francis and Edith Schaeffer, had achieved global fame as
bestselling evangelical authors and speakers, and Frank had
joined his father on the evangelical circuit. He would go
on to speak before thousands in arenas around America,
publish his own evangelical bestseller, and work with such
figures as Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Dr. James
Dobson. But all the while Schaeffer felt increasingly
alienated, precipitating a crisis of faith that would
ultimately lead to his departure—even if it meant losing
everything.
With honesty, empathy, and humor, Schaeffer delivers “a
brave and important book” (Andre Dubus III, author of House
of Sand and Fog)—both a fascinating insider’s look at the
American evangelical movement and a deeply affecting
personal odyssey of faith.
