Fathers and Sons by Os Guiness

This is a fascinating review written by Os Guiness in 2008 about Frank Schaeffer's (Francis Schaeffer and Edith Schaeffer's son) book called "Crazy for God" which is a fictional semi-autobiographical account of his parent's ministry at L'Abri. Os Guiness basically challenges and corrects Frank Schaeffer's scathing claims about his parents in his book (Os Guiness was close friends with the Schaeffer family and was part of their ministry during that time), and doesn't hold back what he thinks about Frank Schaeffer and Francis Schaeffer as well. Guiness' review gives great insight, warts and all, into the ministry at L'Abri. A must read if you are a Francis Schaeffer fan.
