About this title

Synopsis:

Edith Schaeffer records her deeply human experiences as wife, mother and grandmother at L'Abri, the world-renowned Christian community in Switzerland. The unique insights she has gained there as helpmate to her brilliant husband, Dr Francis Schaeffer, mother to their four children, counselor to the hundreds who have stopped at L'Abi in their search for meaning in life, are invaluable to everyone who wants to capture the essence of Christian family living. Mrs Schaeffer explores the problems and challenges facing Christian families in the latter part of the twentieth century -- the counterfeit family, living with aging and dying, the role of tradition, and themes of independence vs dependence. dominance vs submission in family relationships.

From the Back Cover:

In and age when the survival of the family as a living, loving unit is being threatened as never before, Edith Schaeffer presents a heartening view of family life. The family: It is an ever-changing mobile of life...a center for the formation of human relationships... a perpetual relayer of truth...a museum of memories...all of these and much more.
