A journalist investigates the toughest objections to ChristianityDespite the compelling historical evidence, many people grapple with serious concerns about faith in God. "If God is love, then what about all the suffering in our world?" "If Jesus is the door to heaven, then what about the millions who have never heard of him?"In The Case for Faith, the second in a series of three DVDs based on Lee Strobel's books, Strobel turns his tenacious investigative skills to the most persistent emotional objections to belief - the eight "heart" barriers to faith. The Case for Faith, based on Lee Strobel's Gold Medallion-winning book, is for those who may be feeling attracted to Jesus but who are faced with intellectual barriers standing squarely in their path. For Christians, it will deepen their convections and give them fresh confidence in discussing Christianity with their most skeptical friends.More than an Hour of Special Features: * "Dealing with Doubt" Featurette * "The Least of These" The Christian's Response to Evil and Suffering Featurette * Lee Strobel Resources - a collection of resources that explore the evidence for the Christian Faith * Music from the Case For Faith * Reference Library

A MUST, MUST SEE for the ENTIRE WORLD!!!
WOW! I have been looking for a video like this for years! A video that takes the basic precepts of Christianity and explains them to a general audience. I love that they reference "Mere Christianity" and the wisdom that C.S. Lewis imparts about his study of the Christian faith (btw, if you read the writings of early Christians, i.e., Augustine, Tertullian, Ambrose, Athanasius, etc. you will see where C.S. Lewis got much of his theology...).I thought this was such a powerful video for evangelism (especially for the youth of America) I just bought 5 more copies to share with different youth groups I'm involved with. They should broadcast this video 24/7 on some TV station so the entire world could come to understand that if everyone accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and modeled their life after his teachings, there would be world peace: no more hunger, no more thirst, no more homelessness, no more loneliness, no more ignorance, no more fear, no more hate. It's what we all want but choose many false gods hoping they will get us there. It just doesn't work and God allows the centuries to roll by hoping we learn from our mistakes and finally figure out that Jesus truly is the Way, the Truth and the Life.But sadly, we live in a country that despises Christ and shuns him from our government, our classroom, and our courts. And yet, we continually ask God to "Bless America..." What hypocrites we must appear in the eyes of God.But this video. Share it with everyone you know. Let peace begin with me...May God bless you and strengthen you...

Stuggling with a Crisis of Faith? This is a must watch!!!!!
I love that Lee Strobel was a news reporter. His approach to the tough questions of the faith are tackled with the well seasoned tactics of a thorough investigator. I purchased the Strobel 3-CD set for myself and came back to purchase this DVD by itself so that I could share it with my family and friends (and not lose a copy for myself - because I may need to refresh my heart another time down the road). If you've ever struggled with the question: If God is real, why does he allow bad things and suffering? or ever had a crisis of faith of your own, you need to watch this movie. If you are an atheist or agnostic, I beg you to watch this movie. If you are a Christian, I cannot recommend it higher!!!!!

What more can be Said, Stobel has hit another home run
The case for faith is another apologetic text from lee Stobel is excellent. I love the way Strobel takes us through the gathering of evidence, the logical arguments, and finally the presentation of the case. And the case for Faith wins in the court of reason, hands down. Read this and give it to your kids and friends.

A Must See for believers and unbelievers alike
This DVD was the best of Lee Strobel's cinematic efforts to date. It covers the difficult-to-articulate subject of FAITH. For those of us who are believer's, we know faith is a gift from God, and cannot be obtained through works, through mere intellectual pursuit, through studying philosophy or science. The makers of this film pace the viewer through well-reasoned and well-articulated explanations about Christian faith, how Christian faith is based on the person, Jesus Christ, and not a philosophy of living. The believer's hope is therefore rooted in a historical person, who suffered as we do, and is the only one qualified to rescue us from a world bent on self-destructive rebellion against the purposes of God.

Definitely Worthwhile. Differs Quite A Bit From The Book.
I purchased The Case for Faith with the thought of using it for a small group discussion. The DVD is described as having 6 sessions, so I thought we'd have 6 topics. In reality, there are 6 DVD chapters, but in fact only 2 topics. These are the chapters:1. "Introduction". In it, Lee Strobel raises all kinds of questions with regard to the objective evidence for belief in God and explains how he set out to seek answers.2. "Charles Templeton". This is an account of Lee Strobel's meeting with Templeton who turned from being a famous evangelist to becoming an atheist. Here came my surprise and disappointment: the scope of the search for answers is limited to only two questions (important as they are):3. "Why is Jesus the only way to God?" -- rather well done.4. "Evil and suffering" -- also rather well done.5. "Templeton reprise". This is a short epilogue concerning a letter Strobel wrote to Templeton.6. The sixth "session" is in fact the credits!Verdict: The two topics that are treated are useful. The book of the same title is more comprehensive with its 8 topics. The featurettes "dealing with doubt" and "the least of these" are EXCELLENT, but aimed at believers, not apologetical. Very worthwhile.
