Any Christians out there who have read some of Lee Strobel's books?

Question

The Case for Christ,
The Case for a Creator,
Or
The Case for Faith?

Just curious as to what your thoughts or reviews would be on any of these books.

Penny, you are absolutely right and I love the verse you provided! These books are really trying to shed light on factual evidence, or probability and they do an excellent job of that.

Answer 1

I read "The case for Christ", and just last night talked to someone who read "The case for a Creator."

Enjoyable for someone committed to their faith already, and it was a good read, but not sure if I would recommend it as the first introduction to faith.

Anytime you come from a position of taking a journalistic approach, or an approach of proving (beyond reasonable doubt, sufficiently for a newspaper story etc.) Christ, Faith, or God, I think you're on a slippery slope. For that you need the simple child-like faith mentioned in the Bible. Once you mature in that faith, it has no trouble withstanding the onslaught of other religions, fake religiosity, scientific-sounding arguments against the Bible, a-theism, or nagging doubt.

Hope this helps! All the best!

Answer 2

No, yet i've got skimmed by a bunch of comparable books and on an identical time as they have been comically absurd, i did no longer locate something of cost to help theory in there. i'm advantageous Strobel's stuff heavily isn't any distinctive. Please be conscious that the common motivation for everybody to jot down a e book is to make money and in fact in many circumstances the 1st casualty. additionally undergo in ideas that there is no information that believers lie or are financially stimulated below non-believers. This e book won't coach god exists, at ultimate it fairly is going to cutting-edge compelling around good judgment and different misdirections.As on your implementation of Pascal's wager, this is not extra effective than the unique. Little tip: you're attempting to cajole human beings from a attitude based on the thought your god exists on an identical time as this is obvious that atheists have not got faith so. employing this attitude is absurd, even the shyster Paul of Tarsus knew this and reported assembly human beings the place they are somewhat than the place you're. Now that guy replaced into between the final salesmen in history and in case you prefer to proceed on the path of the proselytiser you're able to stick to his examples extra.

Answer 3

Reference books are okay as long as they stick to the true word of God. Hebrews 11:1 Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the Evidence of things not seen.
(simple: we can not see the wind but we can see its effects, we can not see God but we can see his effects everywhere)

Answer 4

I've read the case for Christ. Great reference book. I would recommend it.
