This month's free ebook from FaithlifeEbooks [sic] is Francis Schaeffer's Escape from Reason.

Schaeffer, who died in 1984, was very influential in the evangelical movement, primarily in Switzerland, through his own personal efforts and through his organization there called L'Arbi.

FaithlifeEbooks' blurb about the book is loquacious, but doesn't say much, IMHO. But I'll quote it for the sake of time, and so that you will have at least something to tell you about the book:
In this modern classic, Francis Schaeffer traces trends in twentieth-century thought and unpacks how key ideas have shaped our society. Wide-ranging in his analysis, Schaeffer examines philosophy, science, art, and popular culture to identify dualism, fragmentation, and the decline of reason. His critique demonstrates Christianity’s promise for a new century, one in as much need as ever of purpose and hope.

Faithlife is the umbrella organization for at least a couple of companies: Logos Bible Software, and Faithlife in all of its permutations and combinations. You can read the book in Logos, or in FaithlifeEbooks' app.

Here is a webpage that you can use to acquire the free ebook. (The URL looks very suspicious, but as far as I can tell there are no third party affiliate tags in it; I received the link directly from a FaithlifeEbooks email message).

Don't stop reading yet!

At the top of the webpage that I linked to above, there is a menu whose heading is "On Sale." It's easy to miss--I just noticed it while getting this month's free book. While there are some duds in the selection (and it's a huge selection), there are also some fantastic bargains. Unfortunately, they're all mixed together. And, keep in mind that you will have to use a Faithlife platform in order to read any of them.
