The Case for Faith

In his #1 bestseller The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel examined the claims of Christ, reaching the hard-won verdict that Jesus is God's unique son. In The Case for Faith, Strobel turns his skills to the most persistent emotional objections to belief - the eight "heart barriers" to faith. This Gold Medallion-winning book is for those who may be feeling attracted to Jesus but who are faced with difficult questions standing squarely in their path. For Christians, it will deepen their convictions and give them fresh confidence in discussing Christianity with even their most skeptical friends.

This eagerly anticipated sequel to Lee Strobel’s best-selling The Case for Christ finds the author investigating the nettlesome issues and doubts of the heart that threaten faith. Eight major topics are addressed including doubt, the problem of pain, and the existence of evil.

"Strobel’s appraoch is hard-hitting, clear, and persuasive." — Christian Research Journal



"Despite the rather heavy matters discussed, this book is easy to read. The analogies and anecdotes are very helpful in explaining a deep subject on an understandable level." — The Conservative Theological Journal



"…the book incorporates Strobel’s journalistic skills to tackle several of the most persistent objections to belief in Christ….’The Case for Faith’ is for readers who may be attracted to Jesus, but still have formidable intellectual barriers with emotional undertow inhibiting them from fully committing their lives to Christ….As one who was a spiritual skeptic for many years, Strobel relates well to those who object to the faith on emotional and intellectual grounds…." — Christian Retailing



"When Strobel interviews his subjects, he approaches the questions just as a non-believer would, and he’s not afraid to press until he gets a satisfactory answer….’The Case for Faith’ will provide the tools you need to remove…obstacles from a non-believers path to faith in Christ." — Singing News



"Lee Strobel takes a hard look at the toughest objections to Christianity….The result is an intellectual and captivating book that will change the way many think about God." — Christian Herald

I would have given this book 5 stars, except for the fact that the book gives the wrong information about hell. This book states that hell is not a torture chamber with literal fire, which is not true according to the Bible. Other than that, the book is great.

Wonderful book along with Case for Christ. If you know someone who is into the Jesus Seminar, give them both!!! I love the fact that this book moves pretty fast. And the objections are things everyone has struggled with (especially I think #8)

An excellent book that is very easy to read. I am sure it will be very useful for helping some of my friends to reconsider their agnostic tendencies.
