Em 1955, uma fam�lia americana mudou-se para um chal� ao lado de um �ngreme alpe su��o. Eles n�o sabiam exatamente por que Deus os havia trazido para l�, o que ele queria que fizessem, ou mesmo de onde viria o dinheiro para o sustento. Mas o Senhor come�ou a abrir portas, e as pessoas com d�vidas sobre o significado da vida come�aram a encontrar o caminho para a casa deles.

Edith Schaeffer, esposa do Dr. Francis Schaeffer, conta a not�vel hist�ria de como Deus os guiou passo a passo, � medida que um pequeno chal� se transformava em uma comunidade inteira. O lugar recebeu o nome de L’Abri (franc�s para abrigo). Dia ap�s dia, Deus proveu fielmente para sua fam�lia e, no fim das contas, para toda a comunidade.

Os Schaeffers acreditavam que a verdade deve ser demonstrada tanto quanto debatida. Eles queriam mostrar ao mundo, atrav�s do estilo de vida transformado de uma comunidade de crentes, que o Deus pessoal-infinito est� realmente presente em nossa gera��o. Em uma sociedade que perde a capacidade de discernir entre valores crist�os e n�o crist�os, verdade e inverdade, bem e mal, o L’Abri equipou in�meras pessoas a fazerem essa distin��o.

H� mais de 30 anos, pessoas v�o ao L’Abri de todas as camadas sociais e de muitos pa�ses, em busca da verdade e da realidade. L� encontram algu�m que cuida delas pessoalmente, que ouve atentamente suas perguntas e que lhes d� respostas baseadas em um compromisso intransigente com a verdade b�blica. O L’Abri agora tem filiais em v�rios outros pa�ses e afetou a vida de literalmente milhares de pessoas ao redor do mundo.
