 “The Case For Christ”

By Lee Strobel with Jane Vogel

 

A journalist’s personal investigation of the evidence for Jesus.

Who was Jesus? A good man? A lunatic? God?

 

There’s little question that he actually lived. But miracles? Rising from the dead? Some of the stories you hear about him sound like just that…stories. A reasonable person would never believe them, let alone the claim that he’s the only way to God!

 

But a reasonable person would also make sure that he or she understood the facts before jumping to conclusions. That’s why Lee Strobel, an award-winning legal journalist with a knack for asking tough questions, decided to investigate Jesus for himself. An atheist, Strobel felt certain his findings would bring Christianity’s claims about Jesus tumbling down like a house of cards.

 

He was in for the surprise of his life. Join him as he retraces his journey from skepticism to faith. You’ll consult expert testimony as you sift through the truths that history, science, psychiatry, literature, and religion reveal. Like Strobel, you’ll be amazed at the evidence, how much there is, how strong it is, and what it says.

 

The facts are in. What will your verdict be in “The Case For Christ”?

 

 Please confirm your attendance with me quickly, so that we can order enough books for everyone attending.
