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 40 books and curricula that have sold nearly 15 million copies. He has been described in the Washington Post as "one of the evangelical community's most popular apologists.” Lee is the Founding Director of the Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics (LSC), and founding board member of Lee Strobel Ministries (LSM).
“For me, apologetics proved to be the turning point of my life and eternity. I’m thankful for the scholars who so passionately and effectively defend the truth of Christianity - and today my life’s goal is to do my part in helping others get answers to the questions that are blocking them in their spiritual journey toward Christ.”
