Crazy for God by Francis Schaeffer’s apostate son Frank. Well, nearly apostate son. Frank left the religious right that his father helped kick-start, and now is one of it’s most literate critics. I very much enjoyed his balanced presentation of his parents- I can imagine that it would be very hard to write a book revealing the wrongs of a movement your parents started. Well, actually I can imagine it because we are kind of in the same boat, except for the literate part and the whole I’m in the closet yet. But hey, I’ll take whatever I can get.
