The “find peace” part is
more than a little ironic. Since turning his back on Christianity in the late ’80s,
Shaeffer has written 17 books (including a few bestselling novels) to go
with the five he wrote while still claiming to be a follower of Jesus Christ.
He’s penned novels, gone Hollywood, directed occult horror films and comedies, has been a
Republican and a Democrat, has endorsed John McCain and Barack Obama, has gone
by “Francis”, “Frank” and “Franky”, has been pro-life and pro-choice and today cannot decide from one moment to the next whether he believes in God or not.
With all these ricochets
and u-turns in his track record, it’s at least faintly possible Frank Schaeffer
is not the most qualified man in the western world to advise others on how to
find peace.
