Lee Strobel's journey from atheist journalist to Christian apologist has been told in literary and theatrical form through "The Case for Christ," with the prolific author and preacher continuing to share the Gospel throughout his multi-decade career. Now, Strobel is out with another compelling project titled "Is God Real?: Exploring the Ultimate Question of Life" — a book exploring the most pressing question for humanity. The idea for the book came from Strobel's publisher.
"[The publisher] discovered something interesting," he told CBN Digital. "They said, 'We found that 200 times a second, around the clock, someone on planet Earth is typing into a computer search engine, basically the question: 'Is God real?'' And they said, 'Why don't you do a book addressing that?'"
Strobel said he loved the idea and took them up on the offer, diving into research and evidence found in science, history, and philosophy that "points toward the truth of Christianity." "I love doing this project because I think it reflects a real curiosity in our culture, about who God is," Strobel said. "I think it's incumbent on Christians to ... always be prepared to give an answer to anyone who asks us to give the reason for the hope that we have, and to do it gently and respectfully."
