Lee Strobel must have racked up some serious air miles flying all over the place to interview academics for this book. These days I'd be recommending he think about his carbon footprint a bit more... but that aside, this is an excellent read. You wouldn't think that a book about the scientific, philosophical and historical evidence for Christ could be a page turner, but it is!

I like the way Strobel begins each chapter with related and relatable experiences from his career as a legal journalist. It's fascinating and an interesting way into considering the evidence for Christ and what it means. I also like the way that the interviews aren't preachy. They're just a medium for exploring the evidence and then it's left to you to think it through. That's not to say there isn't a strong call to action. At the end we're presented with a stark choice; in the face of all the evidence, how will we respond?

The biggest endorsement for this book is the sheer number of people I know who have read it and have decided to follow Jesus or who came to it struggling with doubts and finished it with their faith affirmed. Highly recommended.
