The Call follows the adventures of Andy, a successful kleptomaniac and would-be movie director "called" to save Hollywood for Jesus from "liberals, queers and Jews, especially the unbelieving Jews..." Where is the line that separates madness from faith, ambition from theft? Is there one? The Call is set in Hollywood...

When I was 17, I got Genie pregnant. I was lucky. I loved Genie and eventually she loved me. Anyway she acts as if she does, and what else is there to go on? We married. And our families helped. They needed to. It was a financial struggle and dauntingly...

AWOL-The Unexcused Absence Of America's Upper Classes From Military Service and How it Hurts Our Country, a book I co-authored with life-long Democrat activist and former Clinton White House aid, Kathy Roth Douquet, was published in the spring of 2006. By this autumn we sat with teacups perched on our...

The Iraq Study Group and Robert Gates agree: Iraq is a horrible mess. We won't be hearing any more about "bringing democracy the Middle East." Many things have contributed to this mess, a lack of honesty, a lack of wisdom, and a lack of personal connection to those asked to...

Jesus didn't stand a chance, nor did my mother.
In the 1970s and early 1980s my late father Francis Schaeffer wrote many books including A Christian Manifesto. It sold over one million copies. Dad called on evangelicals to "take back America" and overthrow the "secular humanists," if need...

We have grown so out of touch with reality that we think "issues" trump survival. As a result we have George Bush for president. And this isn't only about Republicans. We know in our collective gut that we have second-rate leadership in both parties. That is because we have all---yes...

In 1954 my parents Francis and Edith Schaeffer founded the evangelical mission...

In 1947 my mother and father moved to Europe. They were American Protestant, Reformed, Calvinist missionaries. I was thus part of an experiment in radical Christian living "by faith alone" in the commune of L'abri in Switzerland where I grew up.
I've been exploring this childhood in my semi-biographical...

Charles Rangel is right to call for a draft. The present system is unfair. We don't really have an "all-volunteer" military. We have a recruited military and the recruiting is mostly done where it works, in other words in middle class and working class neighborhoods and from "legacy"...

God invaded my novel "BABY JACK." He might as well have been movie director Bob Altman who said: "I don't direct, I watch. You can pick the best six things in anything I made and none of them were planned. It's the mistakes I'm interested in. That's where...

I laughed till my face hurt. Sacha Baron Cohen's "Borat" is funny. I'd never seen his "Da Ali G Show" so on the way back from the movie I rented the DVDs. After watching them I felt like a French peasant who has enjoyed the public guillotining of two or...

I am a reluctant patriot humbled by the American flags fluttering off freeway overpasses. Ten years ago I would have laughed if told I'd be wearing a "My Son Is A Marine" pin, let alone flying a small American flag on my gate.
My friends in the literary and...
