If you haven't heard of Lee Strobel, he is a law school graduate. He had a brilliant career as Legal Editor of the Chicago Tribune. But against all the odds, this hard-nosed investigative journalist became a Christian. He is now applying his training and investigative techniques to Christianity, and the results of his work and the answers to the hard questions he has asked are available on his website, Lee Strobel.Com free to all comers.

I first "met" Lee through a video that Stormy referred me to on a First Redeemer Church website. You can watch it HERE - and I recommend you do.

This video is worth watching - believe me. As a lawyer and a hard-nosed investigative journalist, Lee not only has the required cynicism and legal training to make his testimony extremely valuable, but he also has a great speaking style and sense of humor that make this a really racy and memorable delivery.

Now an ardent and vocal Christian, Lee's first contact with the Lord occurred when his agnostic wife decided to become a Christian. He frankly states that the first word that went through his mind when she told him of this decision was "divorce".

In spite of his total opposition to her decision, he admits the changes he saw in his wife over the next few months made him agree to accept her invitation to go to church one day. In his own words, his expectation was that he would "get her over this cult". However, the inspired sermon he heard there drove him to spend the next 2 years subjecting the Bible story of Jesus Christ to all the investigative tests that he used as part of his editorship at the Chicago Tribune.

It is fascinating to watch Lee's description of how he applied his trained brain and his ingrained investigative process to the story of Jesus and the beginnings of the Christian Church. This man has really done his job. Not only did he immerse himself in exhibit A (The Old and New Testaments) - he spent those 2 years on researching all the historical records of the period (which are many), and on interviewing medical experts and unbiassed historians as well. He finally sat down and made a huge list of the many pages of evidence he had gathered and suddenly realised in the light of all that evidence it actually required more "faith" to stay an atheist than it did to become a Christian.

Do not miss out on This Video. Lee's testimony is not a 2 minute affair, and it's embedded in a church service, but I promise you, you will not regret spending the time to watch it.
