judyward 's review for:
The Case for Christ
by Lee Strobel
This book was recommended to me by a good friend a couple of years ago when I was going through a major faith crisis--from which I currently have not completely emerged. I went out and bought the book, put it into a basket of books that "I'm going to read just as soon as I have time and have finished all of the books from the library and also that stack of books over on that table and that table..." So, needless to say, I have not opened the cover of the book for the past two years. Then out of the blue, my new audio book arrived from simplyaudiobooks.com and it was The Case for Christ. Apparently, I had put the book on my "to rent" list at some point. So I popped the first disk into the machine and sat back to listen. Interesting book. Lee Strobel traces his journey from athesism to faith in this book. An investigative journalist by trade, Strobel deals with the issues of faith like a lawyer building a brief. He talks to about a dozen individuals with advanced degrees in history, philosophy, science, and theology to try to find the answers to questions such as "How historically reliable is the New Testament?" and "Was the Resurrection an actual event?" While the discussions with the experts were interesting, I learned that I still strongly believe that it is called faith for a reason.
