A refreshingly unique look at this extraordinary man, this biography chronologically reconstructs both Lewis's professional and daily lives in astonishing detail, from his childhood in Northern Ireland and his participation in World War I to friendship with J.R.R. Tolkien at Oxford and his professorship at Cambridge. More than 100 sidebars offer little-known trivia tidbits on the more personal side of Lewis, and cover such topics as the contents of his home library, 10 things he believed about cats, his favorite beers and pubs, and the women and friends in his life. On the professional side, working titles of his books, lectures he gave at Oxford and Cambridge, and his ideas on atheism and idealism are discussed. Essential information on his most popular work, The Chronicles of Narnia, is also addressed, including the meaning of names, the hierarchy, and the kings, queens, animals, and battles in Narnia.

El impacto de Francis Schaeffer sigue teniendo una amplia resonancia dentro de la iglesia y de la cultura contemporánea. Su vida, apasionada y genuina, es el centro de la biografía autorizada de Colin Duriez, inspirada en más de 150.000 palabras de historia oral, además de entrevistas personales y otros recursos que no solo retratan al hombre y sus relaciones, sino también su formación espiritual, el desarrollo de sus ideas y su cosmovisión. Desde su infancia en Pensilvania, en el seno de una familia de clase obrera, hasta la fundación de L’Abri, desde su crisis de fe hasta sus últimos años en los que, bajo la mirada de todo el mundo, escribió sobre temas controvertidos siempre en un tono conciliador, estas páginas recogen todas las etapas de la vida de Schaeffer. Sin embargo, Duriez, alumno suyo y entrevistador, también echa una mirada más profunda que revela aquellas marcadas fases de su vida, de sus enseñanzas y de sus complejidades como persona, dentro de su contexto histórico, para que los lectores contemporáneos puedan comprender mejor todo lo que Schaeffer fue y por qué sigue importando hoy. Esta completa biografía ilumina el enrevesado viaje de alguien cuya implacable pasión por la verdad, por la realidad, con una fe integral que suple las necesidades de las personas, no solo lo convirtió en un gigante dentro del mundo evangélico, sino en un ejemplo brillante de aquello por lo que se esfuerza todo cristiano de cada generación: Vivir una vida auténtica para la gloria de Dios.
