Frank Schaeffer, author of the New York Times best selling memoir, Crazy For God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right and Lived to Take All (or Almost All) of It Back, joins us to discuss his fiery evangelical past. The son of theologian Francis Schaeffer, Frank came of age with the Christian right, growing up in an evangelical/fundamentalist world with Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson at the kitchen table. He eventually broke ranks with the powerful political/religious movement that influences the Republican Party and will provide us with his unique insights as he searches for a meeting place for what he calls “the scattered refugees of The Church of Hopeful Uncertainty.” (Run Time: 1 hour, 43 min.)

Frank; thanks for being frank about your life long journey. I was an avid follower of your father’s writing, having never met your dad. He helped me to go through my college years, and even in the grad school, his writing was useful, up until a decade ago. I will read your new book, having read your “Crazy for God.” “Portofino”
