Lee Strobel
Former atheist Lee Strobel has been a teaching pastor
at two of America's largest churches and is the best-selling
author of three Gold Medallion-winning books: The Case for
Christ, The Case for Faith, and Inside the Mind of Unchurched
Harry and Mary.
After a two-year investigation of the evidence for Jesus, Lee
received Christ as his forgiver and leader in 1981. He joined
the staff of Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington,
IL, in 1987, and later became a teaching pastor there. He joined
Saddleback Valley Community Church as a teaching pastor in 2000,
speaking regularly to the 15,000 people who attend the Orange
County, CA, church. He left Saddleback's staff in mid-2002 to
focus on his writing and development of a TV show, though he
continues as a periodic speaker there and at Willow Creek. He
also is a board member of the 7,000-member Willow Creek Association.
Lee's book The Case for Christ has sold 1.5 million copies
since 1998 and has been translated into eight languages. It
was twice a finalist for Christian Book of the Year. Lee's other
books include God's Outrageous Claims, What Jesus Would Say,
and Surviving a Spiritual Mismatch in Marriage, co-authored
with his wife, Leslie. He also contributed to This We Believe,
Finding God's Peace in Perilous Times, and the forthcoming
Every Pastor an Apologist. He is co-author of the Becoming
a Contagious Christian training curriculum, which is used
around the world, and has appeared on many national radio and
television programs, including Focus on the Family and The Bible
Answer Man.
