As always, a great read by Strobel.

In this book, Strobel, follows 13 claims about God, and how those claims are very real in our lives today!

Those 13 claims are:

  * There's Freedom in Forgiving Your Enemies

  * You Can Even Learn To Forgive Yourself

  * You Can Survive The Rat Race Without Becoming A Rat

  * You Can Make A Difference That Will Last For Eternity

  * God Can Give You Power As Power Is Needed

  * You Gain When You Give Yourself Away

  * A Dose of Doubt May Strengthen Your Faith

  * God Has A Cure For Your Secret Loneliness

  * God's Rules on Sex Can Liberate Us

  * Random Acts of Kindness Aren't Enough

  * Heaven Is More Than Wishful Thinking

  * Jesus Is The Only Path To God

  * Playing It Safe Is the Most Dangerous Way to Live

Awesome insight as only Lee Strobel can bring! This is another read I highly recommend for all to read!

Wow! I can't even begin to describe this book, except to say, another great Lee Strobel read.

Strobel begins with all of the arguments against a real Jesus, and slowly begins to build his case until when you reach the end, he has completely won you over! I can't imagine this man not being one of the great soul-winners of our lifetime! His arguments are always factual. He leads you away from the many self-proclaimed "prophets and bishops" of our time who know so very little about the real Jesus. He shows you where those who argue away the real Jesus or his death and resurrection, have been led astray. And in this book, he even argues against many Christian colleges, universities and seminaries that are no longer teaching the scriptural Jesus and are sugar coating the scriptures to provide us with a 21st century Jesus who is forgiving without repentance.

I have found in Strobel a champion of the real Jesus. If you know Strobel's past, you will know that he was once a self-proclaimed atheist, and a journalist. So using his journalistic tools, he attempted to disprove Jesus was real. But what he managed to do, was to prove to himself that He is very real, and is much alive today!

This is an awesome book. Excellent for debate and group studies and private study. I highly recommend it.

Okay, so this book may be a l -i - t -t-l-e outdated, coming from 1994. However, I believe the message is just as prevalent  today. That of God's great love for mankind, and His mercy are never ending. That Jesus came to pay for our sins. And that no matter what you have done, you are welcomed by Him and can be forgiven by Him.

Strobel touches on just about every calamity known in the US still today: the decline of morals; sexual promiscuity; one parent households; greediness; and insecurity.

I found myself having to lay the book down a few times to absorb all that the author brought up. It touched me in such a way that I found myself repenting of long lost sins that I had forgotten about. And it was like a huge weight, that I hadn't known I was carrying around, fell from my shoulders. I felt reintroduced to my Savior's love. I was invigorated and excited as I haven't been in years.

In some cases, the author even uses fictional characters to get a point across (Bart Simpson, and Murphy Brown, for instance), and does a wonderful job.

I found this book highly enlightening and just a relevant today as when it was written. I highly recommend it for all.
