Posted on 10 Apr 2025

Lee Strobel is a former journalist who sought to prove that Christianity was false but the more he investigated the more he became convinced that Christianity was true. As a result, he became a Christian and subsequently an author and apologist. The church librarians have selected 5 books written by Lee Strobel that we hope will help in your walk with God.

5. Case for a Creator Student Edition: A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence that Points Toward God

Has Science Discovered God? When Lee Strobel was a high school freshman, science convinced him that God didn’t exist. Since then, however, incredible scientific discoveries have not only helped restore Lee’s faith, but have strengthened it. Lee is not alone. More and more scientists, confronted with startling, cutting-edge evidence from many areas of research, no longer believe the universe just ‘happened’ or that life arose by mere chance. Weigh the evidence for yourself. Then consider this question: Could it be that the universe looks designed … because it is?
