Topic > Taking on Lee's journey from skepticism to faith...

The author of this book, Lee Strobel, has struggled for nearly two years, sometimes jumping from one question or topic to another and then back again, investigating the facts of Jesus for himself. It traces his journey from skepticism to faith. This story stems from a conversation with his best friend, Ersin, who made an offhand remark about his internship at the Chicago Tribune being a blessing from God. This stunned him because he had no idea that his friend believed in God . Ersin was stunned to discover that he was indifferent to God. However, it was someone he loved dearly who pushed him to think, to soul-search, and to ask questions. But first, Lee admits that it was in high school, when he was fourteen, that he lost his faith in God. In his biology class he was taught Darwin's theory of evolution. That theory made sense to him and gave him a reason to abandon his belief in Christianity. In middle school his parents took him to a Protestant church. He pretended to learn because he knew the pastor would help him if he didn't recite the verses well. He was working to be confirmed as a member of that church. He became a member and this made his parents happy because they both believed in God. It was in high school that he met the girl of his dreams. They dated in college, out They are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, There were many witnesses in the New Testament and it contained actual writings from many of the eyewitnesses themselves, These eyewitnesses lived in the same age as Jesus and were very responsible. When Lee began to live and act according to the Bible, he noticed that his life changed for the better. He began to believe not because of historical reliability, but because he began to personally experience the love and joy of faith in the Bible.
