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.
