First off, I'm not one that is hyper-sensitive to every question raised by the skeptics in relation to the Christian faith. This succinct presentation, however, handled in journalistic fashion proves to serve its intent very well. Solid answers to difficult questions are addressed by professionals in their respective fields. This concise treatment is very user friendly and thus a very useful resource to share with neighbours (I purchased extra copies) and friends.

This is not a book of poor quality but there are many better choices. Hard to discern the author's target reader. If he is aiming to convince seekers, it doesn't work. If he is aiming at mature believers, it is too superficial. It is mainly a compilation of quotations from interviews with third parties and "experts."

I've been interested in reading some Lee Strobel books and you can bet after having read this short book during the christmas season all his other books have already been shipped to my house.
Lee goes through a lot of the HARD FACTS. He goes to professionals in certain areas like archeologists and historians and brings forth information that is solid and proves the accuracy of the books in the bible and their authors.
It is an amazing little book with tons of information that really helps you find even more confidence in your faith.

Since I had read the original, unabridged version of this book, I was able to order it with confidence, knowing that it would be a good product. I gave one each to every person who attended our last Bible study before Christmas. The ladies were very pleased.

Life attacks faith from many directions. Two important ones are intellectual and social. In America education, for the most part, is in State control, and the State is in control by the AntiChrist and his servants. It is not an OVERT and Blatent case in the USA. It is subtle... as subtle or even more so than the serpent in the garden. But as a general rule secular academia studies the Bible and thinks about Jesus Christ and controls how our nation reacts to this Book and this Person. And the general result is this: "WE the EXPERTS have and do study the Bible for you and find it an interesting document to add to OUR Ability to think for you and we find errors, corruption in the authors, and see it as tradition, man made religion, and so on. We think for you on the most mundane and the most stratospheric level so that you can learn from us and bow to us and not the Bible. WE protect you. WE think for you. And you are now free to be gods because of US. As Father Benidict Groeschel, PhD, has said, "The liberal has transformed the Word of God into the words of men." The net result is that America does not bow before the Word of God, respect it, live it, and relegates it to a compartment of life or a shoe box, and it has been taken off the fireplace mantle, the end table, and out of daily life. This attack is comprehensive, multi faceted, academic, and complex. Lee Strobel rides to the rescue it two ways. He researches the multitude of "subtle" and the overt deception, lies, and mistakes Western academia uses to attack the faith and chooes the most important weapons aligned against you and disarms them with truth in the spirit of love and humility, enabling YOU to fulfil the mandate of 1 Peter 3:15 without quitting your job and devoting years to the task. Strobe, gleaning from world renown experts, provides captivating truth and insight that is more intellectually honest, profound, and respectable than the arguments liberal scholars and universities have launched, intentionally or unintentionally, to destroy you and your family and your nation and your world. This, and all Sgtobel's "Case" books are "MUST own" books for every Christian family in the world. Let no parent send their child out into the world without them.

Thanks so much for the opportunity to download free ebooks. Have read all of Lee Strobel's books (Case for Christ, Case for Faith, etc) and this one is also good. Have built a library of books that my grandchildren can read for school assignments. Have ordered hard copy books in the past and recommend you folks to the men in my Tuesday morning men's group.

This small book provides enormous amounts of evidence in favor of the identity of the Christ of Christmas being God in the flesh. I would gladly give it to any intellectual who is willing to investigate the facts of this matter.

I had read "The Case for Christ" and really enjoyed it. This was a shorter version. It was a perfect gift for all of my co-workers. I pray that God will use it for his glory.
