The God Who Is There, 30th Anniversary Edition

By: Francis A. Schaeffer

Narrated by: John Lescault

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.

Important

This important work should be read by all Christian teachers and preachers who are seeking to reach the current generation with the Gospel.

Francis Schaeffer

If you have never had the opportunity to enjoy a book by someone who is trying to connect with the deeper issues our society faces and build into the life of the reader, than I highly recommend this book. It was very thought provoking and personal. It tried to answer questions that we can’t quite reason out, or believe there is no answer to,

Deep

This was a complex, informative work that presented a unique but presuppositional apologetic against the spirits of the age(s)

How to think properly

Dr Schaefer systematically elaborates how Christianity makes sense intellectually and philosophically. He says that we naturally think in terms of antithesis and you must deny the God who is there to think in terms of synthesis, but you can’t consistently live that way when you go home at the end of the day

So Satisfying

Schaeffer is not for the weak of mind or timid of spirit. His is a forceful, well-considered world view. He is honest and loving, full of integrity, and earnest in his convictions. I share his presuppositions, reasoning, and conclusions. I only wish I had trained myself as deeply as he and had his ability to convey True Truth as clearly. Schaeffer: always challenging, always worthwhile.
