In a war of ideas, they led the charge. Though he would become one of the twentieth century's greatest defenders of Christianity, Francis Schaeffer didn't like church while growing up. He felt that the answers from the pulpit were unconvincing. Where were the real solutions to life's most important questions?
In desperation, Francis started to read the Bible on his own. From the first page of the Book of Genesis, the thundering authority of God's Word changed his life. He realized for the first time that there is a God of the Universe, and that He is intensely personal.
Before long, he and his new wife, Edith, began a powerful ministry of defending the faith, boldly opposing the relativistic secularism that was creeping into the modern church. Their calling led them to a chalet in the Swiss Alps, where they created a home called L'Abri ("the shelter"), which welcomed all who were disillusioned and searching. To world-famous surgeons and college dropouts alike, L'Abri offered a safe place to debate the existence of God and the purpose of life. Conversations lasted far into the night, and many who arrived conflicted went away comforted. Francis and Edith Schaeffer are shining examples of a well-rounded life for God: Christian intellectuals with a human touch.
