The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus (Student Edition)

More on The Case for Christ:

There’s little question that he actually lived. But miracles? Rising from the dead? Some of the stories you hear about him sound like just that--stories. A reasonable person would never believe them, let alone the claim that he’s the only way to God! But a reasonable person would also make sure that he or she understood the facts before jumping to conclusions. That’s why Lee Strobel--an award-winning legal journalist with a knack for asking tough questions--decided to investigate Jesus for himself. An atheist, Strobel felt certain his findings would bring Christianity’s claims about Jesus tumbling down like a house of cards. He was in for the surprise of his life. Join him as he retraces his journey from skepticism to faith. You’ll consult expert testimony as you sift through the truths that history, science, psychiatry, literature, and religion reveal. Like Strobel, you’ll be amazed at the evidence--how much there is, how strong it is, and what it says. The facts are in. What will your verdict be in The Case for Christ?

Encourage Underage Thinking with These Thought-Provoking 6-Packs Two great resources for teenagers in handy, affordable 6packs--with Leader's Guide The Case for Christ and The Case for Faith have both won Gold Medallion Awards--but even more than that, they have won many hearts for the Kingdom of God. The same is true for the student editions created specially for teenage readers. The Case for Christ--Student Edition is a creative, fast-paced book that follows Lee Strobel, an investigative reporter, as he unearths convincing evidence that faith in Jesus Christ of Nazareth is not based on wishful thinking or fabricated legends, but on solid historical facts. The Case for Faith--Student Edition addresses obstacles that often stand in the way of many seekers--like the problem of evil or the origin of life. These are not watered-down versions of the original books, but entirely fresh approaches to the same subject matter--with brand new material. Strobel partnered with Jane Vogel, a writer highly regarded for her ability to communicate with students, to customize the content of his books for the postmodern mindset. Now both books are available in 6-packs. Each 6-pack includes a Leader's Guide for both books with a double cover--one title on the front and one on the flipped-over backside. The Leader's Guide provides youth group leaders with plans for taking their groups through each book over the course of 5 meetings. The pack also includes a poster to promote the meetings.
