New Releases by Lee Strobel

Bestselling author Lee Strobel examines how we can know the biblical accounts of Jesus'' resurrection are accurate by objectively looking at the evidence surrounding Jesus'' death, the evidence of the empty tomb, and the evidence of the many witnesses who saw him alive after his crucifixion.

In The Case for Christmas Bible Study, led by New York Times bestselling author Lee Strobel, participants will dig into the true Christmas story to sort out the fact from the fiction and the hype from the holiness. This Bible study will help them reflect on the gospel story of the birth of Jesus in a focused and group-oriented way that will change the way that they view the season. During his faith journey, Lee Strobel investigated the real meaning behind all the nativity scenes he saw outside of churches. He explored the evidence that Jesus was a real person in history who was born in a real place, that the Incarnation (birth of Jesus through the Holy Spirit) actually took place, and how Jesus'' miraculous birth was in fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. In The Case for Christmas Bible Study, Lee reveals the discoveries made after consulting with experts on the Bible, archaeology, and messianic prophecy as he sought to separate the truth from the tradition. Regardless of whether the center of your Christmas decorations is the nativity set on your mantle or the presents under the tree, The Case for Christmas Bible Study invites you to look beyond the familiar traditions of the season, challenging you to examine the evidence for yourself and consider why Christmas really matters and why it''s still so relevant today. Session titles: Setting the Record Straight Beneath the Fake News A Mind-Boggling Proposition The Prophetic Fingertip

What do the Gospel accounts actually say about Jesus'' death and resurrection? How can we know the biblical accounts are accurate?

Algunas personas dicen que los milagros son solo coincidencias, otros dicen que son imposibles, pero Lee Strobel se ha propuesto determinar el caso de los milagros hoy, entrevistando a esc�pticos y creyentes a la vez, para determinar el rol de los milagros en nuestra fe cristiana. �C�mo diferenciar entre un milagro y una coincidencia? Un cient�fico esc�ptico calcul� que la persona promedio puede esperar �un mill�n de coincidencias cada mes! �C�mo los cristianos responden a la insistencia de los nuevos ateos de que los milagros son imposibles? �La ciencia supera a lo sobrenatural? Con su enfoque period�stico �nico, el exateo Lee Strobel entrevista a esc�pticos y creyentes sobre cada una de las facetas de los milagros. Viaja a China para investigar reportes de milagros asociados con la expansi�n del evangelio. Cuenta la historia de un famoso erudito evang�lico cuya teolog�a ha sido cuestionada por los aparentes milagros que no puede explicar. Despu�s de leer este libro, los lectores podr�n * Creer que los milagros son reales, y que no fueron relegados a tiempos b�blicos solamente. * Entender la diferencia entre coincidencia, suerte y milagro. * Ganar un mayor entendimiento de los milagros alrededor del mundo y el impacto que est�n teniendo en la expansi�n del evangelio. How do we differentiate between a miracle and a coincidence? One skeptical scientist calculated that the average person can expect a one-in-a-million coincidence every month! How can Christians answer the New Atheists'' insistence that the miraculous is impossible? Does science rule out the supernatural? Using his unique journalistic approach, former atheist Lee Strobel interviews both skeptics and believers on every fascinating facet of miracles. He travels to China to investigate reports of miracles associated with the spread of the Gospel. He tells the story of a famous evangelical scholar whose theology has been turned upside down because of apparent miracles that he cannot explain away.

New York Times bestselling author Lee Strobel trains his investigative sights on the hot-button question: is it really credible to believe God intervenes supernaturally in people''s lives today? This provocative book starts with an unlikely interview in which America''s foremost skeptic builds a seemingly persuasive case against the miraculous. But then Strobel travels the country to quiz scholars to see whether they can offer solid answers to atheist objections. Along the way, he encounters astounding accounts of healings and other phenomena that simply cannot be explained away by naturalistic causes. The book features the results of exclusive new scientific polling that shows miracle accounts are much more common than people think. What''s more, Strobel delves into the most controversial question of all: what about miracles that don''t happen? If God can intervene in the world, why doesn''t he do it more often to relieve suffering? Many American Christians are embarrassed by the supernatural, not wanting to look odd or extreme to their neighbors. Yet, The Case for Miracles shows not only that the miraculous is possible, but that God still does intervene in our world in awe-inspiring ways. Here’s a unique book that examines all sides of this issue and comes away with a passionate defense for God''s divine action in lives today. Also available: The Case for Miracles Spanish edition, kids'' edition, and student edition.

Join investigative journalist and bestselling author Lee Strobel as he embarks on his life-changing quest to solve the riddle of grace. Along the way, you''ll find the undeniable evidence of grace in the true stories of racists, addicts, and even murderers who have found new hope and purpose--all through the redemptive power of God''s amazing grace. In The Case for Grace, Lee offers an accessible explanation of the theology of God''s grace, shown through the incredible, dramatic, can''t-put-it-down stories of people whose lives were changed by the gift of grace--true accounts of people whose transformation and renewal are so radical that they seem to be best explained as the work of a gracious God. Lee draws upon his own journey from atheism to Christianity to explore the depth and breadth of God''s redeeming love for spiritually wayward people, traveling thousands of miles to capture the inspiring stories of everyday people whose values have been radically changed and who have discovered the "how" and "why" behind God''s amazing grace. Each story that Strobel shares in The Case for Grace contributes a piece to the puzzle of grace, showing us: How grace goes beyond forgiveness to acceptance and even adoption by God How it restores hope when none is left; how it extends to the most heinous circumstances How it allows us to forgive those who caused our most intimate wounds--and even to forgive ourselves Through it all, you will be encouraged as you see how God''s grace can revolutionize your life--starting today.

Grace. It’s talked about a lot from church pulpits and often serves as the climax of testimonies, but what does it really mean? Is it really as simple as praying for forgiveness, or there more to really receiving grace? And what about grace and forgiveness toward others—and toward yourself? In this young adult adaptation of New York Times bestselling author Lee Strobel’s The Case for Grace, your questions are explored and answered from all angles, using Lee’s personal story of struggling to find grace for himself, as well as interviews with a wide array of people who were radically changed by God’s grace alone. The wild party that is engraved on Instagram, which you pray future employers never find. The comment your friend made about you that went way over the line. The guilt you still carry for a mistake you made three years ago. Those things don’t magically go away or become easily forgotten. So when you hear about Christian grace and forgiveness, and how it’s a prayer away, that can be a little hard to accept sometimes. Even if that clean-slate grace would be a great thing to have for yourself, or toward the people in your life. The good news is, you’re not alone in your struggle to “get” grace. Inside this book is an exploration of the hows and whys behind God’s amazing grace, as well as revealing stories from people who experienced that gift in remarkable ways—including people who believed they’d been forgotten, murders convinced they weren’t worth forgiving, and Lee Strobel’s own account of searching for grace his entire life. Because grace is available and can change your life, if you just accept it. The Case for Grace Student Edition: Presents real-life stories and experiences from a diverse group of people who have experienced incredible instances of grace firsthand Tackles questions teens and young adults thirteen and up often ask and encounter, so they can better understand what grace really is and how it applies to their own lives Unpacks the Bible’s teachings on grace and applies them to today’s world Can also be used in the classroom, in group studies, or as part of a religious studies or comparison class Pairs well with The Case for Christ Student Edition, The Case for a Creator Student Edition, The Case for Faith Student Edition, and The Case for Miracles Student Edition

Does believing in Christ mean refusing to ask hard questions in the midst of doubt?

Algunas personas sienten hambre espiritual; sin embargo, algo les impide satisfacerla. Las objeciones las atormentan. Las dudas se burlan de ellas. Sus corazones quieren volar hacia Dios, pero su inteligencia las mantiene en tierra firme. Lee Strobel empezó como un ateo, completamente convencido de que Dios no creó a las personas, sino que estas lo crearon a él en un esfuerzo por explicar lo desconocido y atenuar su temor a la muerte. En El caso de Cristo, Strobel describió su estudio de casi dos años de evidencia histórica que lo condujo al veredicto de que Dios en verdad existe y que Jesús es su único Hijo. No obstante, todavía luchaba con objeciones agobiantes, preocupaciones por asuntos llenos de emoción que dañaban a muchos que de otra manera abrazarían la fe. No se trataba de simples problemas teóricos, históricos o intelectuales. Las cuestiones que molestaban a Strobel estaban llenas de impacto emocional. Existen los tipos de enigmas que pueden detener, y lo hacen, a las personas en su camino cuando consideran convertirse en cristianos. En El caso de la fe, Lee Strobel sondea las preguntas más espinosas, a las que llama Las ocho grandes, que incluyen: Si hay un Dios amoroso, ¿por qué gime este mundo bajo tanto sufrimiento y maldad? Si en verdad Dios creó el universo, ¿por qué la ciencia obliga a tantos a concluir que la evolución responde por la vida? Si Dios es el supremo supervisor de la iglesia, ¿por qué esta ha tenido tanta hipocresía y brutalidad a través de las diferentes edades? Si en verdad a Dios le importan las personas que creó, ¿cómo envía a tantas de ellas a una eternidad de tortura en el infierno solo porque no creyeron en las debidas cosas acerca de él? Como experimentado periodista educado en la Facultad de Leyes de Yale, Strobel busca metódicamente los puntos a favor y hace preguntas audaces que cualquiera quisiera hacer y que le carcomen por dentro. Preguntas que construyen o destruyen la fe cristiana. Se niega a contemporizar o a dar clichés con elocuentes respuestas. Por el contrario, junta los hechos difíciles a través de entrevistas con nueve de los más prestigiosos eruditos y expertos. ¿El resultado? Respuestas sólidas, convincentes, fascinantes y sabias a sus preguntas más profundas. El caso de la fe le encaminará hacia una fe renovada y restaurada… o hacia su descubrimiento.

Who was Jesus--really? For centuries, the Christian church has taught that Jesus is the divine Son of God, crucified for sinners and raised from the dead. In recent years, however, that picture of Jesus has come under widely publicized attack from sources ranging from critical scholars to Internet pundits to popular historians and others. The new portraits of Jesus seem persuasive. You can''t help but wonder . . . Did Christianity merely copy its beliefs from earlier mythology? Did the church suppress alternate gospels? Did Jesus never die on the cross or rise from the dead for sinners? Is the New Testament hopelessly riddled with errors? New York Times bestselling author Lee Strobel helps you separate truth from media hype, sound scholarship from bias, and fact from speculation. Digging below the surface, this book provides credible, informed answers to today''s most pressing questions about Jesus.
