"We are surrounded by a generation that can find "no one home" in the universe....In contrast to this, as a Christian I know who I am; and I know the personal God who is there."
I found The God Who Is There by Francis Schaeffer to be really heavy reading. The book had been recommended to me by family and church-going friends who I don't think of as deep philosophical thinkers, so I was surprised at how thick it was to wade through some of the thoughts that Schaeffer lays out. Basically, he speaks about the concept of truth and whether it is absolute or not, and he talks about how without a concrete, absolute truth, there is no hope. While heavy, I do think it was an important read and pushed me to think about my beliefs to their conclusion.
