Was God telling the truth when he said, "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart"? 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. "Everyone --seekers, doubters, fervent believers-- benefits when Lee Strobel hits the road in search of answers, as he does again in The Case for Faith. In the course of his probing interviews, some of the toughest intellectual obstacles to faith fall away." --Luis Palau "Lee Strobel has given believers and skeptics alike a gift in this book. He does not avoid seeking the most difficult questions imaginable, and refuses to provide simplistic answers that do more harm than good." --Jerry Sittser, professor of religion, Whitworth College, and author of A Grace Disguised and The Will of God as a Way of Life

"Only in a world where faith is difficult can faith exist."
disclaimer: i will not be rating this book, as i have not rated any other religious books, because i don't feel comfortable rating the range of someone else's beliefs based on my own views of the world and the Word itself.
lee strobel did it again. the case for Faith is as important as the case for Christ, but i have to admit it's harder to read. that's not a bad thing at all, though. it was meant to be like that, if we're asking hard questions. as far as being able to draw the best conclusions from each specialist goes, i believe this book did a very good job at it. overall, it's a tough but extremely well-done analysis, and the way strobel discovered his own faith through the things he learned is very inspiring to see. i'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's interested in the subject!
