This easy-to-read book aimed at 8–14 year-olds gives us an overview of the lives of Francis and Edith Schaeffer, a couple who were pas-sionate about dedicating their lives to God and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.
While this book is aimed at young people, I found that I had a lot to learn about the Schaeffers, not least because I was relatively unfamiliar with their story, but also because of their unswerving commitment to Christ. If you are thinking of giving this book to a young person or reading it with them, or perhaps reading it yourself, here are a few reasons why I think that would be an excellent idea.
