Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One
of the Elect, Helped Found the
Religious Right, and Lived to Take All
(or Almost All) of It Back by Frank
Schaeffer
Honest Look At One's Life
By the time he was nineteen, Frank Schaeffer’s parents, Francis and Edith
Schaeffer, had achieved global fame as bestselling evangelical authors
and speakers, and Frank had joined his father on the evangelical circuit.
He would go on to speak before thousands in arenas around America,
publish his own evangelical bestseller, and work with such figures as Pat
Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Dr. James Dobson. But all the while
Schaeffer felt increasingly alienated, precipitating a crisis of faith that
would ultimately lead to his departure—even if it meant losing everything.
With honesty, empathy, and humor, Schaeffer delivers “a brave and

important book” (Andre Dubus III, author of House of Sand and Fog)—both
a fascinating insider’s look at the American evangelical movement and a
deeply affecting personal odyssey of faith.
Personal Review: Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the
Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All
(or Almost All) of It Back by Frank Schaeffer
This writer was in the worst place to grow up... in the shadows of a
celebrity. This is a very honest portrayal of trying to live up to, not only
your parent's expectations, but those of a world of religion that can be very
strict and unloving.
I identified with his desire to do something on his own and be true to his
own belief system learned through tough times. The growth process was
confusing, painful, and yet he retained a humor to laugh at himself. I
laughed and cried, both, as I related to some of the life lessons he
experienced.
I came away with a fresh feel for God's mercy and love and commitment to
individuals, not based on specific conduct, but on an eternal love.
Hurray for Frank and his family.
