By the time he was nineteen, Frank Schaeffer's parents. Francis and Edith Schaeffer, had achieved global fame as best-selling evangelical authors and speakers, and Frank had joined his father on the evangelical circuit. He would go on to speak before thousands in arenas across America, publish his own evangelical bestseller, and work with such figures as Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Dr. James Dobson.
But while coming of age as a rising evangelical star, Schaeffer felt increasingly alienated, and as a result he experienced a crisis of faith that would ultimately lead to his journey out of the fold—even if it meant losing everything.
"Crazy for God offers considerable insight into several issues that have bedeviled American life in the past thirty years...it gives us not only a handle on the mess we are in but also quite a few laughs."
—Jane Smiley, The Nation
"Crazy for God is a brilliant book, a portrait of fundamentalism painted in broad strokes with streaks of nuance, the twinned coming-of-age story of Frank and the Christian right."
—New Statesman
Schaeffer describes a life that was by turns happy, difficult, idyllic, and completely nuts...He's a world-class storyteller.
—Christianity Today
