Summary: greatly enjoyed
Review: this book helped me further strengthen my beliefs in Christ. Lee Stroble made everything very understandable and answered several questions that i had on the subjects in the book(resurection, did Christ die, and how Christianity spread so quickly among thousands of people that used to Jews in spite of their many long held beliefs). A great read for anyone from the most devout Christian to the person seeking answers to theological questions.

Summary: Great book
Review: This book helped me get started with my faith. Lee does a great job keeping things interesting. Don't have a lot to compare it too since this would be the first book I've picked up in three years. I would recomend this book for anyone looking to get started on an exciting journey into a better life. It was a great first step in learning about Christ.

Summary: A great read!
Review: This book is incredible. It's changed my outlook considerably. I've always believed in Jesus, but I was so afraid to ask questions about the things I didn't understand. (What if I'm in the wrong faith? Why did Jesus say the Kingdom of God would be seen by those within his lifetime? Why did Jesus say respond the way he did when someone called him "good"?) The honest, hard-hitting questions by Lee Strobel were refreshing--and the honest, irrefutable answers by the scholars he interviewed were even more so. There's no doubt as to the validity of Christianity anymore, and I fully recommend it for anyone honestly seeking answers, no matter what your religious affiliation. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Summary: The Case for Christ
Review: This is perhaps the most important book I have ever read. After reading this book, there can be no doubt as to Jesus's actual historical being and no doubt as to the ressurection. It is well researched and documented with excellent and creditable sources. It reads like a novel and is fast paced.

Summary: Does the job, of an Apologetics book.
Review: To start out, let me say that being a Christian my review might/will be biased. =)From the many Apologetics-jargon for defending our faith, not for apologising for it-type books this falls in the middle category in complexity, in evidence, and understandability. Having an analytical mind, this book was easy for me to read. Strobel interviews "experts" in their particular fields like Craig Blomberg (expert in the Gospels). Who in turn would give out the evidence, in Blomberg's case why the Gospels (Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John) are truthful and accurate. Other chapters deal with, archeology, psychology, medical view of death/resurrection, historical accuracy, etc. I led a Bible Study with this book at UC Irvine, and the students were not fully able to understand the train of thought of Strobel in some chapters, which surprised me. However, they were excited to find more facts in what they believed. Yet, this is a more complicated book than Paul Little's "Know why you believe" but definitely easier to digest than C.S. Lewis' books such as "Problem of Pain" or "The Great Divorce" (I'd have to read some sentences/paragraphs 2-3 times before understanding), or J.P. Moreland's "Scaling the Secular City" (in which after reading some paragraphs 4-5 times I would wonder if it was written in english at all, albeit an excellent philosophical book) As this book is a "summary" of each particular topic, it doesn't go in-depth in any one topic, but it would be a great starting point as it has citations and references to 120+ "academic" books. All in all, I think this is a great book for NEW believers, to re-affirm their faith, and answer their questions at heart. Can't really say this book would turn an unbeliever to Christ, but it might help for those who need questions answered. After all, God works in wonderful (weird?) ways.
