Summary: AWESOME!!!!
Review: I am a Christian, but Strobel uses weak evidence to prove that Jesus was the son of God. His reasoning is comparable to saying anyone who wears a dress is a woman. Although this book is good at convincing those who know little of Christianity, history and other religions, its fails with those more educated. Honestly, I am surprised that the evidence he gives was able to turn him from a blazing athiest into a Christian.
He says that Christianity is the one faith that entrance into heaven is based on beliefs, not deeds. This is just not true.
Also, he uses passages in the Bible to validate certain truths - that is like using my 8th grade diary to prove that boys are jerks. Sure, Strobel attempts to prove the validity of the Bible, but without strong evidence.
Overall, this book is great for youngsters or the naive, but any real athiest will mock the contents.

Summary: Powerful!
Review: I have read the original "The Case for Christ" and was very pleased to see an edition written for teens. Although this edition is shorter it is written in a stimulating format using numerous windows and charts, none of the powerful defenses for Christ are lost. This book demonstrates that Christianity is not just another religion to choose from, but a belief based on facts, history, and logic. With the culture our youth are living in today, I believe this book will help our teens and preteens strengthen their faith, and motivate them to defend it.

Summary: Great for students who want reasons for belief in Christ
Review: Much condensced from the original The Case for Christ, this book gets five stars because it is simple enough for the average junior/senior higher to understand his faith. One of my students says this is the best book that he ever read and was genuinely appreciative that the book was aimed at his level of understanding. The former skeptic Strobel asks some of the tough questions that many skeptics pose to Christians every day. Many Christians have been scared from sharing their faith because they don't have all the answers, and that's a shame. The nice thing about this book is that Strobel asks prominent Christian scholars about the authenticity of Christ, His nature, and the veracity of the resurrection. Strobel interviews such greats as Bruce Metzger, Edwin Yamauchi, Gary Collins, D.A. Carson, William Lane Craig, Gary Habermas, and J.P. Moreland. While the aforementioned scholars have all written plenty on their own, many of their tomes are unreadable by the average Christian layperson. But in the student edition of The Case for Christ, the writing is not too theological or difficult to understand. I believe anyone with doubts about Jesus Christ will view Him differently after reading this book. The Christian layperson will also benefit by learning answers to support her beliefs (1 Pet. 3:15-16). For these reasons, I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Lee Strobel gives strong evidence in favor of Christianity
Review: Strobel presents a lot of evidence for Christianity. How strong? Strong enough that he became a Christian, as he was a former atheist! Originally trying to prove Christianity wrong, he kept running into dead end after dead end. Finally giving up, he not only became a Christian, but published this book also. One of the best Christian apologetic books out there.

Summary: Interesting for the "somewhat churched"
Review: This book gave a good basic layout of how and when the Bible was written, and how it survived centuries of translations while remaining accurate. I started reading and couldn't put it down. It's down to earth and easy to understand.

Summary: A MUST READ--Equip your Youth with Answers to the tough ?'s
Review: This book is an awesome first step in equipping youth with skills and knowledge in apologetics--defending the faith/Truth. If you get a chance, read the original versions yourself, but even as an adult, I enjoyed reading my little bro's student editions because of the GREAT examples, charts, and illustrations. This is evidence about Christ that CANNOT BE REFUTED! Packaged in an easy-to-understand, thought-provoking, share-able way! Please read!
