Personal note from author lee strobel
lee stroble_author photo_the case for heaven

"Several years ago, my life nearly ended. In the words of the emergency room physician: “You’re one step away from a coma, two steps away from dying."

And while I’m glad I’m still here, this ordeal changed me forever. It was a stark reminder that I’ll spend a lot more time in the afterlife than in this temporary home – and so it’s worth the effort to thoroughly investigate what awaits us after the grave.

I emerged after years of research with fresh confidence about eternity – and I hope my new book The Case for Heaven will encourage you as you ponder the exciting and exhilarating world to come!"

-Lee Strobel, author of The Case for Heaven

The Case for Heaven  was written for your questions about the afterlife

  • Is there an afterlife? What is heaven like? How will we spend our time there? And what does it mean to see God face to face?
  • What about life after death experiences? Reincarnation? Do these experiences align with Christian teaching?
  • What does the Bible actually say about heaven, hell, and eternity? I want to separate fact from myth.

Through fascinating conversations with respected scholars and experts--a neuroscientist from Cambridge University, a researcher who analyzed a thousand accounts of near-death experiences, and an atheist-turned-Christian-philosopher--Strobel offers compelling reasons for why death is not the end of our existence but a transition to an exciting world to come.

Follow Strobel on this journey of discovery of the entirely credible, believable, and exhilarating life to come.

Dr. Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life and the Daily Hope broadcast

"The most obvious fact of life is that everybody dies. It would be irrational and foolish to live our entire lives unprepared for what we know is inevitable! That’s why reading this book will be one of the wisest investments of time you’ll ever make.

It will end your worrying and wondering, your fretting and fearing, about life after death. Instead, you’ll gain the confidence and peace of mind that come from settling your eternal destiny."

"This is the most powerfully uplifting and extensively researched book I have ever read on the subject of heaven. If you’ve struggled to know what to believe and why, you will find your answers in these pages. Every human being should have the privilege of reading this book."

-Sheila Walsh, author of Holding On When You Want to Let Go

"The Case for Heaven engages both the mind through convincing evidence and the heart through personal narratives and discoveries. I hope that you—whether a Christian or a skeptic—will read, discuss, and share this book with others."

-Sean McDowell, PhD, associate professor of apologetics at Talbot School of Theology and coauthor of Evidence That Demands a Verdict
