Product Description:
This eagerly anticipated sequel to Lee Strobel’s best-selling The Case for Christ finds the author investigating the nettlesome issues and doubts ofthe heart that threaten faith. Eight major topics are addressed including doubt, the problem of pain, and the existence of evil.
Amazon.com Review:
Award-winning reporter and author Lee Strobel (The Case for Christ) onceagain uses his investigative skills to address the primary objections toChristianity. As a former atheist, Strobel understands the rationalresistance to faith. He even names the eight most convincing argumentsagainst Christian faith: 1) If there's a loving God, why does this pain-wracked world groan under somuch suffering and evil?
2) If the miracles of God contradict science, then how can any rationalperson believe that they're true?
3) If God is morally pure, how can he sanction the slaughter of innocentchildren as the Old Testament says he did?
4) If God cares about the people he created, how could he consign so manyof them to an eternity of torture in hell just because they didn't believethe right things about him?
5) If Jesus is the only way to heaven, then what about the millions ofpeople who have never heard of him?
6) If God really created the universe, why does the evidenceof science compel so many to conclude that the unguided process ofevolution accounts for life?
7) If God is the ultimate overseer of the church, why has it been rife withhypocrisy and brutality throughout the ages?
8) If I'm still plagued by doubts, then is it still possible to be aChristian?
These are mighty tough questions, and Strobel fields them well. Rather thanwrite a weighty dissertation about the merits of faith, he brings us alongon his quest as we meet leaders in the Christian community, such as PeterKreeft and William Lane Craig. We also encounter his everyday friends andacquaintances that serendipitously fill in the holes in each of the eightarguments against faith. The use of dialogue from personal interviews and ascene-by-scene active narrative makes this an easy and engaging read.However, easy does not mean breezy. This is a book of substance andmerit, one that will help Christians defend their faith, especially duringthe hardest of times, when they have to defend their faith to themselves inmoments of doubt. --Gail Hudson

For each question, the author interviews a renowned scholar whose speciality is in the particular question that's being asked. So, basically this book is a collection of some of the best ideas from 8 of the best defenders ... Read More

I wanted CD's and received cassette tapes.The order placement wasn't clear enough to say I would be receiving cassettes and I felt deceived when the product arrived.It happened on two orders placed at the same time.I followed the steps to do a return but the system didn't recognize me and I couldn't return the tapes to the senders.I don't know how the system didn't recognize me for the return but recognized me to request this review.I'm very frustrated with this experience and don't have ...

Rating: - Great answers to tough questions we all have!
I read this book a couple years ago and have bought several copies to give to friends and family.There are many tough questions answered here... questions we all have but maybe are afraid to ask.I think this book is great for believers and non-believers alike.One of the points that most struck me was the author's statement that having doubt is not bad.He said he doesn't really trust a Christian's faith who says she never doubts.God created us to be thinking, intelligent people, so of course we ...

Rating: - Lee Strobel does it Again
