For Once: Real Family Values!

February 10, 20212 commentsFrank Schaeffer

If you’ve followed anything I’ve done, especially over the last five years, you know that I was part of the early “Male-Chauvinist, Religious-White-Right, Family Values” movement in the 70s and 80s, which led us down a path that took us directly to Trump. I’ve since left that world behind and have spent the last 30 years as a progressive activist, artist and author speaking up and speaking out against that movement.

In addition to crisscrossing the country talking to other progressive activists, shining a light on important issues and working to flip the House Blue, I’ve spent a lot of time over these last five years doing a lot of research, meeting a lot of people, and speaking to them in-depth about love, career and family.

My new book, Fall in Love, Have Children, Stay Put, Save the Planet, Be Happy reflects this work, I’m really excited about it, and I can’t wait for you to join me on this journey!


Frank Schaeffer spent years as an evangelical activist pushing the right wing version of “family values.” These weren’t really family values at all but rather an anti-feminist agenda. In fact the far right opposes family togetherness by opposing child care, day care, working mothers, a high minimum wage, access to contraceptives and the right to choose. Frank walked away from a position of leadership in the evangelical world more than 30 years ago to become a successful author and progressive activist.  Now in Frank’s new book he lays out the real and practical affirmation of actual family values and the programs and ideas that will strengthen families and give everyone a better chance to experience love.

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. Available now at Amazon.

In 1998, Frank Schaeffer was a bohemian novelist living in “Volvo driving, higher-education worshipping” Massachusetts with two children graduated from top universities. Then his youngest child, straight out of high school, joined the United States Marine Corps. Written in alternating voices by eighteen-year-old John and his father, Frank, Keeping Faith takes readers in riveting fashion through a family’s experience of the Marine Corps: from being broken down and built back up on Parris Island (and being the parent of a child undergoing that experience), to the growth of both father and son and their separate reevaluations of what it means to serve. Available now at Amazon.
