Nancy Pearcy has come up with a great website... She co-wrote "How Now Shall We Live?", a fantastic manual on how we can engage the world around us with a Christian worldview.
I didn't know she met her husband at L'Abri. Here Richard Pearcey wrote on the founding principles of Francis Schaeffer's ministry.
"Schaeffer understood that talk, indeed, “is cheap,” and that words written in books also can be “cheap” if they are just “God-talk” that give readers a momentary buzz that disappears soon after the book is put down. He realized that people need to see an exhibition that God actually exists, and that’s why he felt led to live a life, and begin a ministry, based on principles that emphasized verifiably answerable prayer, so that atheists, agnostics, and doubting Christians (sometimes hobbled by other Christians), could observe living evidence of God at work in the modern world. Schaeffer’s vision was that when “people come to L’Abri they are faced with these two aspects simultaneously” -- honest answers to honest questions and the practical demonstration of the existence of God -- “as the two sides of a single coin.”
