The Case for a Creator Lee Strobel “My road to atheism was paved by science… but, ironically, so was my later journey to God.”
 Former atheist Lee Strobel has discovered that science, far from being the enemy of faith, now 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 revised six-session DVD and study guide invites participants to encounter this evidence delivered in a compelling conversational style. Join Strobel in re-examining the theories that once led him away from God. 
 Pastors and small group leaders seeking resources that answer tough questions about the existence of God will find compelling answers in Case for a Creator: Sessions include: Science and God Doubts about Darwinism The Evidence of Cosmology The Fine Tuning of the Universe The Evidence of Biochemistry DNA and the Origin of Life About the Author Atheist-turned-Christian Lee Strobel, the former award-winning legal editor of The Chicago Tribune, is a New York Times best-selling author of more than twenty books and serves as Professor of Christian Thought at Houston Baptist University. Described in the Washington Post as "one of the evangelical community's most popular apologists," Lee shared the Christian Book of the Year award in 2005 for a curriculum he co-authored with Garry Poole about the movie The Passion of the Christ. He also won Gold Medallions for The Case for Christ, The Case for Faith, and The Case for a Creator, all of which have been made into documentaries distributed by Lionsgate. His latest works include his first novel, The Ambition, and The Case for Christ Study Bible, which features hundreds of notes and articles.

He was a journalist for 14 years at The Chicago Tribune and other newspapers, winning Illinois' highest honor for public service journalism from United Press International.

He joined the staff of Willow Creek Community Church in 1987 and later became a teaching pastor. He joined Saddleback Valley Community Church as a teaching pastor in 2000. He left Saddleback to write books and host the national network TV program Faith Under Fire. In addition, Lee taught First Amendment Law at Roosevelt University.
