If God is real, then everything matters. Every thought. Every word. Every action.

Don’t miss these precise, succinct, and powerful proofs that demonstrate God is real!”

I love his refreshing, down-to-earth approach in which he asks the hard questions and helps us realize there are answers. As a former atheist, he gets to the bottom of the big questions of life with both biblical and logical arguments. If you’re a believer, Is God Real? will help you doubt your doubts and believe your beliefs. And if you’re not yet a believer, it may well give you the answers you’re searching for. I highly recommend it!”

“One thing I appreciate about Lee Strobel’s books is his combination of depth and accessibility. His latest work provides an all-around introduction to some of the most impactful reasons for belief in the existence of God. You’ll begin an exploration of the scientific, philosophical, historical, and existential arguments that have provided not only answers but also hope to so many people on their own spiritual journey. And in his characteristically gracious approach, he invites you—not tells you—to consider whether God is real.”

Mary Jo Sharp

“As new technologies add to the general confusion over what’s real and what’s not, popular author Lee Strobel brings his journalistic expertise to eight of the most significant interviews of his life to date. From each distinguished scholar, Strobel draws a robust case for the reality of God and skillfully ensures that readers will be able to grasp the potency of the evidence presented. I highly recommend this book to all who wrestle with doubt— or who desire to be of help to those who do.”

Hugh Ross

“Lee Strobel has done it again. This time, he turns his unparalleled journalistic talent toward one of the most pressing questions of our time. As one of the few people who have the expertise, interview skills, or access to the world’s most renowned experts, Lee investigates in Is God Real? the existence of God as a true professional journalist, asking the toughest questions and documenting the evidence so his readers can make the final decision. If you’ve ever searched for an answer to this question or know someone who has, this book is for you.”

J. Warner Wallace

“Is God Real? is vintage Lee Strobel. His books are always clear, interesting, and chock-full of ideas, and they do not dodge the tough questions for which people need answers. Is God Real? may be his best book yet. It focuses on the most fundamental topics a human being can ask: Is there a God and a purpose to life? If so, what is God like? How do we really know that our answers to these questions are true and reasonable? Moreover, Strobel’s selection of expert interviewees could not be improved on. I urge atheists, Christians, and members of other religions to read this book. It is so good that intellectual honesty requires it.”

J. P. Moreland

“If you could have only one of Lee Strobel’s wonderful Case books, this would be the one. Lee takes the best of all of those award-winning books, updates them, adds new material, and puts everything into one life-changing read. With evidence like this, there is little doubt that God is real and that there is eternal hope for you and me.”

Frank Turek

“Lee Strobel’s book on the reality of God is rich, wide-ranging, and robust. It brings together mind and heart, the intellectual and the existential, the publicly checkable evidence and the power of personal testimony to God’s transformative work in people’s lives. It attests not only to the truth of the gospel but also to its goodness and beauty. Though I have greatly appreciated Strobel’s work over the years, this particular book stands out—in the breadth of what it covers, in its presentation of the multifaceted ways God reveals himself to individuals, and in its persuasive and personal call to each reader to behold the reality and glory of God as revealed in Jesus Christ.”

Paul Copan

“The need for engaging, accessible treatment of the key arguments for God’s existence, the truth of Christianity, and the rationality of hope in a broken world is more urgent than ever. Lee Strobel’s characteristic wit and insightful interview techniques make Is God Real? a fantastic gateway resource both for those exploring the Christian faith and for believers seeking to strengthen their faith and beef up their evangelistic tool chest.”
