1. Case for Christ: A Journalist’s Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus
Is there credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God? Retracing his own spiritual journey from atheism to faith, Lee Strobel, cross-examines a dozen experts with doctorates who are specialists in the areas of old manuscripts, textual criticism, and biblical studies.
Strobel challenges them with questions like How reliable is the New Testament? Does evidence for Jesus exist outside the Bible? Is there any reason to believe the resurrection was an actual event? Strobel’s tough, point-blank questions make this bestselling book read like a captivating, fast-paced novel. But it’s not fiction. It’s a riveting quest for the truth about history’s most compelling figure. What will your verdict be in the The Case for Christ?
2. Case for a Creator: A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence That Points Toward God
During his academic years, Lee Strobel became convinced that God was outmoded, a belief that colored his ensuing career as an award-winning journalist. Science had made the idea of a Creator irrelevant, or so Strobel thought.
But today science is pointing in a different direction. In recent years, a diverse and impressive body of research has increasingly supported the conclusion that the universe was intelligently designed.
At the same time, Darwinism has faltered in the face of concrete facts and hard reason. Join Strobel as he reexamines the theories that once led him away from God. Through his compelling and highly readable account, you’ll encounter the mind-stretching discoveries from cosmology, cellular biology, DNA research, astronomy, physics, and human consciousness that present astonishing evidence in The Case for a Creator.
3. Case for Faith: A Journalist Investigates the Toughest Objections to Christianity
Was God telling the truth when he said, ‘You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart’? In this book, Strobel turns his skills to the most persistent emotional objections to belief—the eight ‘heart barriers’ to faith.
This award-winning book is for those who may be feeling attracted to Jesus but who are faced with difficult questions standing squarely in their path. For Christians, it will deepen their convictions and give them fresh confidence in discussing Christianity with even their most skeptical friends.
4. Spiritual Mismatch: Hope for Christians Married to Someone Who Doesn’t Know God
Lee Strobel was the legal editor for the Chicago Tribune, a Yale graduate, and an atheist when his wife, Leslie, became a Christian early in their marriage. She began going to church; she found new friends; she became a different person. But Lee didn’t believe in any of it. Both Lee and Leslie felt they were losing each other. Despite all the emotional clashes they experienced, God answered Leslie’s prayers in miraculous ways.
He gave her peace when she was feeling worried, gave her friends to walk with her, and gave her his Holy Spirit to comfort and guide her. Over time, she learned to live out her faith and be an example of Christ’s love to Lee.
Today, they’re both Christians and Lee’s conversion story is now a major motion picture, The Case for Christ. In this personal and practical book, Lee and Leslie share the lessons they’ve learned, including surprising insights into the thoughts of non-Christian spouses. They also share God’s peace, encouragement, and hope for your marriage.
5. Case for Grace for Kids
In The Case for Grace for Kids, Lee Strobel with Jesse Florea, present the concept of grace in a way kids eight to twelve relate to.
Sharing stories of people who have been changed by God’s love and forgiveness, learning to forgive those who have hurt them, as well as forgive themselves.
