The Case for a Creator Study Guide with DVD
by Lee Strobel and Garry D. Poole
"My road to atheism was paved by science...ironically, so was my later journey to God."
Journalist and award-winning author of The Case for Christ Lee Strobel examines the idea that science isn't the enemy of faith, but that it provides a solid foundation for belief in God. New scientific discoveries point to the incredible complexity of our universe, a complexity best explained by the existence of a Creator.
This six-session video study invites participants to encounter the evidence of a Creator. Join Strobel in reexamining the theories that once led him away from God. Pastors, small group leaders, and individuals seeking resources that answer tough questions about the existence of God and the claims of rationality will find compelling answers in The Case for a Creator study, investigating probing questions like:
- Where do science and faith overlap or agree?
- As a form of knowledge, what are the weaknesses of science and rationality?
- How much can I depend on science while still have a thriving faith?
- Is faith in God ever based on rationality?

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.

There’s proof a man named Jesus of Nazareth once walked the earth, but opinions on exactly who he was can vary widely. Was he really the Son of God, or was he a nice guy who did some positive things on earth, or was he possibly an unstable man? And how can you know for sure what is true and what is false when it comes to what you’ve read or been told? Lee Strobel decided to investigate the real, historical Jesus and gather irrefutable evidence on everything connected to him so you can discover the biblical truth for yourself.
A great prophet. A rebel. The Messiah. A crazy lunatic. Someone who never existed at all. All of these phrases describe different people’s views of Jesus, and various ancient documents have been discovered and various books have been written by scholars that seem to support each version. Not to mention all the arguments that say the Bible can’t be trusted as a reliable source of information on Jesus. So what are you supposed to believe—and why?
Lee Strobel wanted the provable, undeniable truth, so he decided to return to the investigation he began in The Case for Christ and explore a variety of new angles to find out once and for all who the real Jesus was. Inside are interviews with numerous biblical scholars and once-zealous doubters about the most common arguments against Jesus, discussions of how reliable Scripture really is, examinations of unearthed ancient texts that appear to counter the gospels, and the evidence that shows who Jesus really was and continues to be in our world. Explore the case for yourself and decide: Is the real Jesus the one the Bible has proclaimed all along?

Do miracles really exist? Bestselling and award-winning author Lee Strobel decided to find out. In The Case for Miracles Student Edition, he presents the interviews, real-life stories, and provable facts behind historical and modern-day incidents many people claim are "miraculous" and others see as false, then lays out the solid truth, giving young adults like you the evidence you need to make your own decision on whether miracles and other supernatural events ever happened, and if they still happen today.
A woman on the news says she saved a boy from drowning after a glowing man told her where to go. A man says his cancer miraculously disappeared, and doctors agree they can't find any trace of the disease. A classmate says the answers to his final exam came to him in a dream and claims it must have been a miracle. None of these things are normal events--but are they really miracles, or just strange coincidences? And what about all the miracles in the Bible? Can modern science explain them away? In The Case for Miracles Student Edition, Lee Strobel asks the hard questions as he interviews scientists, skeptics, and first-hand witnesses, and also uses his award-winning journalist background to examine the evidence behind modern-day and historical miracles and "supernatural" claims to see if they are really from God or just wishful thinking. As he presents the evidence, you can decide: Does God really perform miracles in our world? And if he does, what does that mean for us?
