Francis and Edith Schaeffer

Francis Schaeffer defined revival as: "A return to the practice of Biblical Christianity in the power of the Holy Spirit." During his ministry, supported faithfully by his wife, Edith, they experienced revival in their personal lives and among the people with whom they ministered and worked. Those who practiced their teachings from the Scriptures also experienced revival and spread that revival to their own families and churches.

This expanded and updated e-book edition includes the Message from my first biography of Francis Schaeffer: Francis Schaeffer: the Man and His Message.

Francis Schaeffer defined revival as a: "A return to the practice of Biblical Christianity in the power of the Holy Spirit." During his ministry, supported faithfully by his wife, Edith, they experienced revival in their personal lives and among the people with whom they ministered and worked. Those who practiced their teachings from the Scriptures also experienced revival and spread that revival to their own families and churches. Edith first wrote L'Abri, about their work in Switzerland, and later wrote their autobiography, The Tapestry. Her two books, and this introduction to their life and work, show how God worked to enlighten and transform a whole generation of Christians. Francis and Edith Schaeffer were Christian missionaries who challenged a world of skeptical people to rethink their beliefs. This Expanded and Updated Edition Francis and Edith Schaeffer includes revisions, revised chapters from Francis Schaeffer: the Man and His Message (also written by L.G. Parkhurst, Jr.), and new material; see especially, "Lessons from Their Lives of Faith" In this short biography, you will be introduced to Francis and Edith Schaeffer and encouraged to learn more about them and their work by reading their books and discussing with others.
