Crazy for God

De: Frank Schaeffer

Narrado por: Frank Schaeffer

How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All (or Almost All) of it Back

By the time he was 19, Frank Schaeffer’s parents, Francis and Edith Schaeffer, had achieved global fame as best-selling 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 best seller, and work with such figures as Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Dr. James Dobson.

But while coming of age as a rising evangelical star, Schaeffer felt increasingly alienated, and as a result, he experienced a crisis of faith that would ultimately lead to his journey out of the fold - even if it meant losing everything.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“ Crazy for God offers considerable insight into several issues that have bedeviled American life in the past thirty years…. it gives us not only a handle on the mess we are in but also quite a few laughs.” (Jane Smiley, The Nation)

“ Crazy for God is a brilliant book, a portrait of fundamentalism painted in broad strokes with streaks of nuance, the twinned coming-of-age story of Frank and the Christian right.” ( New Statesman)

“Schaeffer describes a life that was by turns happy, difficult, idyllic, and completely nuts…. He’s a world-class storyteller.” ( Christianity Today)

loved it!

this is a beautifully written book...as a former evangelical myself, i could relate to so many things in the book...a joy to listen to!

Thank you

I’m so grateful for the clarity Frank has given me by writing this book. Clarity to bring to light so much confusion as a young women. I grew up from age 20 with a lot of confusion from the PCA. I have been married to a spiritually abusive man. Hung in there because of the massagey message of the church.
Thank you Franky and Jeanne for loving life and faith with truth! Nancy
