Summary

In 2006, Christianity Today voted The God Who Is There as one of the top 50 books that have shaped evangelicals.

For decades, The God Who Is There has been the landmark book that changed the way the church sees the world. In Francis Schaeffer's remarkable analysis, we learn where the clashing ideas about God, science, history, and art came from and where they are going. This edition includes a foreword by James W. Sire that places Schaeffer's seminal work in the context of the intellectual turbulence of the early 21st century.

More than ever, The God Who Is There demonstrates how historic Christianity can fearlessly confront the competing philosophies of the world. The God who has always been there continues to provide the anchor of truth and the power of love to meet the world's deepest problems.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Brilliantly insightful book

I found this book really interesting, what a thorough exploration of faith systems and the assumed truths/untruths they’re based on. Personally I really struggled with the narration, it sounded like someone reading a language they didn’t understand at times. I almost gave up as I found him so robotic in manner and tone, but I wanted to hear the book. This is really worth listening to, just try not to mind the unexpressive narration.

Fascinating

Clearly a very loving and clever man, I enjoyed listening to Schaefer. It was difficult at times to understand all of the philosophy. Perhaps the book would be better so that you can annotate. It has given me a lot to think about and a loving way to see people who are ‘below the line of despair’.

Great and relevant

Powerful and so insightful. He was a giant and I see the hand of God on this old saint.
