Wonderfully written, brilliant use of multitouch. A great read, but just as important a masterful use of of the iBook/multitouch medium to further the story. The design engages and invites deeper exploration. Well done.

Beautiful, brilliant, creative, spiritual, insightful — politically astute. And full of facts, art, history, objective truths, critical thinking, lived experience, deep compassion, deep questioning — there’s just nothing about this that is ‘fake’, inauthentic, off-key or false. Frank is an ally in the human quest for social justice, resisting oppression, and living a life with meaning. As a been-there-done-that ex-republican, ex-evangelical, recovering southern baptist seeking enlightenment (not magical thinking or faux- news), Frank’s writings offer deep political and progressive (and spiritual) insights, as well as fact-based knowledge, grounded in reality.

The absolute best iBooks experience I have ever had.. Equal parts memoir, pop culture commentary, defense of truth, beauty and creativity, and history of the art and politics of western civilization, author Frank Schaeffer’s Letter to Lucy: A Manifesto of Creative Redemption—In the Age of Trump, Fascism and Lies is an absolute revelation and a salve for our troubled times. I found myself putting it down after I’d finished a section because I wanted to savor what I had just experienced before excitedly picking it up and diving in again. At 435 pages, the book is incredibly dense with information, and the beautiful layout and stunning use of text, music, video and images make discovering the totality of this book an unparalleled delight. It really is a touch of magic.

Arts Education For a New Generation. Like Frank Schaeffer, I am a recovering Evangelical. I went to Oral Roberts University and Pat Robertson’s graduate film program at a time in the 1980s when the sprawling, magnificent “How Should We Then Live?” film series — featuring the late great Francis Schaeffer (Frank’s father) — was THE core humanities curriculum. What a pleasure to follow along in “Letter To Lucy” as Frank teaches his grandchildren about art! And the iBook format — with graphics, video, and music embedded into the pages — is perfect for a new generation hungry for meaning in an increasingly chaotic world. In “Letter To Lucy,” Frank Schaeffer makes a convincing argument that beauty and art are human necessities; not only for educational purposes, but also for a lasting sense of personal fulfillment.

beautiful book - important words. I recently discovered Frank Schaeffer’s work, having just read Crazy for God. I grew up in the same Evangelical camp as Schaeffer and can relate to much of what he says. I, too, have become disillusioned with how Evangelical Christianity has evolved, with my disillusionment progressing slowly after my graduation from college in the mid 90s, but reaching the point of no return after the 2016 election. I am now trying to make sense of what has happened in our country, and more importantly in the religious faith on which I was raised. Schaeffer is one of several authors helping on that journey. This book is so much fun to read and the format is just plain cool. I’m reading it on my laptop and it has been quite entertaining and informative. Thanks to him, I’m playing Duke Ellington and dusting off my old art books and setting them out for my kids to look at! What I really love about this particular book of Schaeffer’s is how he has taken the best of his childhood and family influences and shared it with the reader. As I read, I keep thinking how his parents would have really liked this book, his dad in particular. I’m still enjoying the book, but I think it is a wonderful tribute to his parents, even if he doesn’t necessarily espouse their particular faith. He is passing along truth, beauty, and goodness, which is a balm for all of us. I absolutely understand Schaeffer’s anger at the religious right, as I feel it, too. I know he feels responsible in part for evangelicals getting steered off course with their search for a political savior. I hope he knows there are those of us out there who were on that same parallel journey with him, and have come to the same conclusion as he. His books and art are his redemptive offerings, and I am so glad he is sharing them with us.

Great Book. Terrible Format. Loved the book. It was very relatable and spoke to many of my life experiences. The format however is terrible. It just looks like someone uploaded a pdf of the book. It’s not practical to read on a phone or tablet.
