Part history saga and part worldview exposé, this edition of Francis Schaeffer’s classic commemorates the 50th anniversary of L’Abri Fellowship founded by the Schaeffers. As one of the foremost evangelical thinkers of the twentieth century, Schaeffer chronicles the decline of Western culture. But he doesn’t stop there, lamenting what has happened. He analyzes the reasons and then offers the only sustainable, viable alternative: a biblical worldview, including Christian ethics, morals, values, and purpose in life.  Readers are inspired to ask, “So what?” and recognize the importance of each individual’s influence.
