Why I am an atheist who believes in God : how to give love, create beauty and find peace / Frank Schaeffer. by Schaeffer, Frank. CreateSpace, 2014. Call #: 261.21 S294w Subjects Schaeffer, Frank -- Philosophy.   Christianity and atheism.   Belief and doubt.   Atheism.   Faith.   Novelists, American -- 21st century -- Biography.   Authors, American -- 21st century -- Biography   Motion picture producers and directors -- United States -- Biography. ISBN:  9781495955013 (pbk.) 149595501X (pbk.) Alternate title:  Atheist who believes in God : how to give love, create beauty and find peace Description:  xvii, 144 p. ; 23 cm. Summary:  Caught between the beauty of his grandchildren and grief over a friend's death, Frank Schaeffer finds himself simultaneously believing and not believing in God -- an atheist who prays. Schaeffer wrestles with faith and disbelief, sharing his innermost thoughts with a lyricism that only great writers of literary nonfiction achieve. Schaeffer writes as an imperfect son, husband and grandfather whose love for his family, art and life trumps the ugly theologies of an angry God and the atheist vision of a cold, meaningless universe. Schaeffer writes that only when we abandon our hunt for certainty do we become free to create beauty, give love and find peace. Frank Schaeffer is the author of more than a dozen fiction and nonfiction books, including 'Crazy for God : how I grew up as one of the elect, helped found the Religious Right, and lived to take all (or almost all) of it back,' 'Patience with God : faith for people who don't like religion (or atheism)' and 'Sex, mom, and God : how the Bible's strange take on sex led to crazy politics, and how I learned to love women (and Jesus) anyway.' He is a survivor of both polio and an evangelical/fundamentalist childhood, an acclaimed writer who overcame severe dyslexia, a home-schooled and self-taught documentary movie director, and a feature film director of four low-budget Hollywood features that Frank describes as 'pretty terrible.' He is also an artist with a loyal following of collectors. Frank's three semi-biographical novels (Portofino, Zermatt and Saving Grandma) describe growing up in a fundamentalist mission.
