Nearly 25 years after his death, Francis Schaeffer's impact as one of the foremost shapers of modern Christianity still reverberates within the church and contemporary culture. A pastor, apologist, bestselling author and activist whose work and ministry reached around the world, Schaeffer also managed to deeply and personally influence people of every age and position in a way that few others have. His impassioned, genuine life is the focus of Colin Duriez's authoritative biography, which draws on over 150,000 words of oral history in addition to personal interviews and other resources to portray not just the man and his relationships but his spiritual formation and the development of his ideas, creative works and worldview.
