Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All (or Almos

By age nineteen, Frank Schaeffer had entered the evangelical circuit alongside his parents, Francis and Edith Schaeffer, who were bestselling evangelical authors and speakers with a global following. Frank went on to speak before thousands in American arenas, published his own evangelical bestseller, and worked with figures including Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Dr. James Dobson. However, Schaeffer experienced growing alienation throughout this period, leading to a crisis of faith that ultimately prompted his departure from the movement, despite the personal cost. The book combines honesty, empathy, and humor to offer an insider's perspective on the American evangelical movement alongside a personal account of Schaeffer's spiritual journey.
