What Is A Family? by Edith Schaeffer

An excellent, in many ways nearly like new copy of the book, "What Is A Family?" by Edith Schaeffer.  This hardcover book has minimal shelf wear and Edith Schaeffer records her deeply human experiences as wife, mother and grandmother at L'Abri, the world-renowned Christian community in Switzerland. The unique insights she has gained there as helpmate to her brilliant husband, Dr Francis Schaeffer, mother to their four children, counselor to the hundreds who have stopped at L'Abi in their search for meaning in life, are invaluable to everyone who wants to capture the essence of Christian family living. Mrs Schaeffer explores the problems and challenges facing Christian families in the latter part of the twentieth century -- the counterfeit family, living with aging and dying, the role of tradition, and themes of independence vs dependence. dominance vs submission in family relationships.  255 pages.
