Summary: Opened doors
Comment: I read this book a few years ago while just investigating christianity. I was very skeptical, and had all kinds of doubts, based on my knowledge of evolution, my public school education, exposure to the discovery channel, PBS, etc., which all tend to support a mere mythological view of christianity. I read the whole book in a matter of days, and was very impressed with the amount of topics that were satisfactorily covered in this book.
I'm not going to say I gave my life to Christ immediately, but this book opened the door for me to take Christ seriously, and to apply the same skepticism toward scientific theory that I had previously applied only toward religion. I eventually became convinced of the reality of God and the truth of the gospels, and have since trusted my life to Christ gratefully. I've bought several copies of this book and given it as a gift to family members and other non-believers in hopes that it will open doors for them as it did me.
This book isn't perfect, but its a very readable exploration into christian apologetics for a newcomer. I read The Verdict recently (the book written to counter this one), and it was a joke. Every argument was based on the same faulty logic. I started highlighting major flaws in logic from the beginning, and got about halfway through that book before my hand had turned yellow and I decided it just wasn't challenging enough. The sheer inability of the author of the counter-book to adequately challenge the arguments in this book are a testament to its quality. I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: A Book for Christians Witnessing to Non-Christians
Comment: Lee Strobel has an excellent work here -- it is one of the most impressive collections of arguments supporting the validity of Christianity I have read. I don't see it as persuasive however, for unbelievers. It offers valuable tools for believers in their interactions with people who have not yet followed Jesus, but by itself it has little to offer critics of Christianity.
Strobel examines the record of the biblical account of Jesus, the person of Jesus himself, and the Resurrection of Jesus. He interviews various experts who all add intellectual support to the truth that Jesus is the Son of God, and that Christianity is based upon absolute truth. These arguments themselves however, will do little to reach most skeptical non-believers.
This book is an excellent tool for Christians who are building loving relationships with non-Christians. In the context of that relationship, a believer can use this volume as a resource in responding to objections raised regarding the Christian faith. Don't just hand this title to a non-believer -- use it as a reference in personally, lovingly leading that individual to Christ.

Summary: Enjoyable and Refreshing
Comment: I really enjoyed The Case for Christ. I knew I had faith deep down inside of me, and I felt it always trying to come out, but I never let it because I was affraid I wouldn't be cool if I were religious. This book made me feel like it would be ok. Like I could accept that call from God and be happy about the belief in him. Not only was my spiritual self satisfied but my rational self as well. I will read all of Lee Strobel's books about Christianity.
