Book Review--L'Abri by Edith Schaeffer

Just finished reading L'Abri, the incredible true story of a Christian fellowship that emerged in Switzerland in the 1950's. The purpose of L'Abri was/is "to show forth by demonstration, in our life and work, the existence of God." Francis Schaeffer and his family opened their lives and home to hundreds of people, over a period of many years, for discussion about absolute truth. People from all over the world, from every walk of life and every religious and non-relgious background came to their small chalet in a village in Switzerland. Many left believing in Jesus Christ and the truth of God's Word. As a ministry, L'Abri resolved never to plea for money (i.e. raise support). They made their needs known to God alone, and he provided. Also, they consistently prayed that God would bring the people of His choice to them. This book is a fascinating account of God's work in even the tiniest details to bring glory to Himself all over the world.
