This review is from: Francis and Edith Schaeffer: Defenders of the Faith (Heroes of the Faith (Barbour Paperback)) (Paperback)

Francis and Edith Scheafer ministered to all walks of life but what i found to be fascinating was Frans way with Intellectual debate. Though he had bout's with anger yet when it came to ministering he was as gentile and tactful as they come when confronted with various questions. His wife Edith came to understand her husband through many experiences they had and you cannot put one above the other. Both loved each other very much and were one in spirit.

This review is from: Francis and Edith Schaeffer: Defenders of the Faith (Heroes of the Faith (Barbour Paperback)) (Paperback)

This look at the lives of Francis and Edith Schaeffer is one of Barbour's "Defenders of the Faith" series of biographies written for young people. Thus the book's style is simple, but readers of all ages will be captivated by the faith and zeal of these two famous missionaries. Well researched and complete with notes, this easy read chronicles their lives from birth to beyond Fran's death, focusing on how God led them each step of the way and used them mightily for His glory. Strongly recommended for jr. and sr. high students, but anyone who needs to learn what God can do with faithful witnesses will profit from this book. May God raise up many in the rising generation to follow in the Schaeffers' footsteps!
