  • Happy 100th birthday, Francis Schaeffer!

    I'm told that Chuck Colson and Timothy George have a tribute to Schaeffer in the current print issue of Christianity Today, but alas, it doesn't seem to have been put online yet. However, while we're waiting for that, here's a warm tribute by Barbara Challies, mother of blogger Tim Challies, to the man who helped her "lay a new foundation for Christian living."
