Lee Strobel visiting the HarperCollins Christian Publishing office.

This morning, the Bible Gateway team (and our colleagues here at HarperCollins Christian Publishing) had the privilege of hearing a devotional message by Lee Strobel! Lee is best known for his enthusiastic, reason-based defenses of the Christian faith (perhaps best exemplified in his influential book The Case for Christ).

Among other things, Lee shared a moving story (about a drug-dealer-turned-pastor) from his upcoming book The Case for Grace: A Journalist Explores the Evidence of Transformed Lives. In telling the story of a friend who found grace after long years of criminal activity, drug addiction, and homelessness, Lee challenged us to be ready and willing to show grace and kindness to others at every opportunity—perhaps by befriending a lonely person at school, sharing a meal with someone who is homeless and hungry, or any of the other countless opportunities that we pass by each day.

Lee has a remarkable personal story and a talent for telling challenging, inspiring stories. And so I thought this was a good opportunity to highlight his Investigating Faith email newsletter, which Lee writes and makes available through Bible Gateway. In Investigating Faith, Lee tackles difficult issues, shares personal reflections, responds to reader questions, and more. We collected some example material from earlier issues here, if you’d like to get a feel for Lee’s style and approach to Christian apologetics.

The next issue of Investigating Faith will be sent out to email subscribers soon, so if you’re interested in the ongoing conversation about faith and reason, now’s a good time to sign up for Investigating Faith. You can do so at our Newsletter signup page.

You can also keep up with Lee on Twitter at @LeeStrobel.
