Well-written book by Edith Schaeffer, wife of the theologian, Francis Schaeffer. Missionaries to Switzerland, the Schaeffers were among the few who have relied solely upon the power of prayer to supply all needs. This is the story of the Schaeffer's founding of a home in the Swiss Alps where people

from around the world could come to stay while they searched for the truth. An interesting experiment which proved very successful and was very influential in developing intellectully acute Christian leaders.

If you were to visit L'Abri, you might find Edith Schaeffer preparing a Chinese dinner for 75; or you might meet her coming from the fields laden with boughs and mountain flowers, full of ideas to decorate the chapel for an afternoon wedding; or perhaps you would see her after a day's hiking with

her husband, Dr. Francis Schaeffer, deep in conversation with a group of young people - sharing with them the excitement and reality of the Infinite-Personal God. Edith Schaeffer maintains through personal and detailed letters close family ties with many individuals whose needs are as diverse as their nationalities. In the same way, this book reflects the courage of obedience. As it unfolds it reflects behind it a unique woman, and through it a family that grew because of their personal commitment to Truth.
