So a friend of mine from College Days told me long ago that Francis Schaeffer was one of his favorite Christian thinkers/philosphers/theologians. Back then, I'm not even sure I understood what he meant by what he was saying (I'm a confirmed LATEBLOOMER...).
Nowadays, once again - in middle-life - I've stumbled into the writings of 'one who has gone faithfully before' and I've been blessed; both by godly wisdom and sovereign timing.
The BIG THING I'm learning from my new 'mentor' is that "There is an infinite, yet personal, God Who is (really) there. He is here and He is not silent. He HAS spoken in time/space history and he continues to speak. And the Revelational Truth we have received from Him (scripture) is 'TRUE-er TRUTH' than the 'truth' that mankind is able to discover through observation (history), experiment (science) or finite thinking (philosophy).
As a result, Biblical-Historical-Christianity is not merely AN answer, or even the BEST answer...
it is the ONLY sensible answer, because it is TRUTH.
Real Reality... True Truth... and Livable Life... available right here and right now, only through Repentance and Faith in Jesus Christ... to the Glory of God the Father... through the Work of the Holy Spirit!

Definitely one of my favorite authors...there is a series on YouTube given by Francis himself on The Idol of Personal peace and Affluence, as well as other sermons...
You would probably enjoy readin Nancy Pearcey, her books "Total Truth" and "Saving Leonardo" are on my iBooks library...she was/is also a fan of Schaeffer's works.
