- Over 400,000 SoldFor over fifty years The God Who Is There has been a landmark work that has changed the way the church sees the world. Francis Schaeffer's first book presents a wide-ranging analysis of the intellectual and cultural climate of the second half of the twentieth century, from philosophy to art to liberal theology. Arguing that Christians must constantly engage the questions being asked by their own-and the next-generation, he envisions an apologetics and spirituality both grounded in absolute truth and engaging the whole of reality. 'If we are unexcited Christians, we should go back and see what is wrong,' Schaeffer writes. 'We are surrounded by a generation that can find 'no one home' in the universe. . . . In contrast to this, as a Christian I know who I am; and I know the personal God who is there.' In every age, this God continues to provide the anchor of truth and the power of love to meet the world's deepest problems. Named by Christianity Today as one of the 'Top 50 Books That Have Shaped Evangelicals' (October 2006), this redesigned classic is now available as part of the IVP Signature Collection.

Francis A. Schaeffer founded L'Abri Fellowship in Switzerland and was the author of many books, including The God Who Is There and Escape from Reason. Until his death in 1984, he was a noted speaker with a worldwide ministry. His ministry continues through his books, with over two million in print.
