The Case for Christ & Heaven - Chat with Lee Strobel, Investigative Journalist, Author
Lee Strobel almost died.It caused him to realize, "You want to know for sure what happens when I close my eyes for the last time in this world."Have you ever doubted Christ's existence? Have you ever wondered what happens after we die? The Parent Compass Chat above covers both. Lee Strobel was a devout atheist that absolutely did not believe in God or Christ. Then his wife became a Christian and was baptized. As an award-winning investigative journalist, Lee set out to prove her wrong. After years on this persistent quest, in the end by the inordinate amount of evidence, Lee convinced himself, not only, that Jesus was God as He claimed be, but Jesus backed up that claim by rising from the dead. Since then, Lee Strobel travels the world telling others the evidence he found. He is the New York Times best selling author of "The Case for Christ" and most recently "The Case for Heaven". In total Lee has authored more than forty books and curricula that have sold fourteen million copies.Profoundly affected by his recent brush with death, Lee turned to what he does best, investigative journalism, to prove with evidence the existence of Heaven.What does he find? Hear the evidence summarized in the Parent Compass Chat above and in his new book and recent movie, The Case for Heaven.The movie, The Case for Heaven, takes audiences on a fascinating journey to find out what happens after we die. Lee Strobel explores the evidence for an afterlife as he addresses mankind’s biggest fear: death. The Case for Heaven was inspired by Strobel’s own brush with death and will challenge, encourage and inspire viewers. The documentary includes interviews with world-renowned pastor Francis Chan, best-selling author John Burke, Evangelist Luis Palau, and more.For shows and more subscribe at parentcompass.tv/subscribe.
