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?

Lee Strobel became convinced that God was outmoded. Today science is supports the conclusion that the universe was intelligently designed. Darwinism has faltered in the face of facts and hard reason.

You'll encounter discoveries from cosmology, DNA research, and human consciousness that present evidence in The Case for a Creator.

In a world increasingly indifferent to Christian truth, followers of Christ need to be equipped to communicate with those who do not speak their language or accept their source of authority.

You'll learn how to stop challengers in their tracks and how to turn the tables on questions or provocative statements. Most important, you'll learn how to get people thinking about Jesus.

The audiobook features the results of exclusive new scientific polling that shows miracle accounts are much more common than people think.

In The Case for Heaven, best-selling author and investigative journalist turns a critical eye on the evidence for heaven, a variety of claims about the afterlife, and modern-day stories of near-death experiences to build a compelling case that death is not the end of our existence but a transition to an exciting and very real world to come. 

In How to Follow Jesus, Craig Springer, executive director of Alpha USA, America's most effective evangelism movement, explodes numerous myths surrounding the Christian faith that create unnecessary obstacles to growth, including: illustrating that sin and temptation are not the greatest threat to a flourishing faith; forgiveness means going through rather than around our feelings; and how disappointment in the church may be the essential step in growing a foundation for life-changing community.  

The Case for Christmas retraces and expands upon my journey by delving into the roots of this most cherished holiday. Can we believe in our scientific age that Jesus was really born of a virgin?

You'll encounter racists, addicts, and even murderers who have found new hope and purpose.

Of the many world religions, only one claims that its founder returned from the grave. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the very cornerstone of Christianity. But a dead man coming back to life?

Focusing his award-winning skills as a legal journalist on history's most compelling enigma, Lee Strobel retraces the startling findings that led him from atheism to belief.
