About this audiobook
New York Times bestselling author Lee Strobel trains his investigative sights on the hot-button question: is it really credible to believe God intervenes supernaturally in people's lives today?
This provocative book starts with an unlikely interview in which America's foremost skeptic builds a seemingly persuasive case against the miraculous. But then Strobel travels the country to quiz scholars to see whether they can offer solid answers to atheist objections. Along the way, he encounters astounding accounts of healings and other phenomena that simply cannot be explained away by naturalistic causes. The book features the results of exclusive new scientific polling that shows miracle accounts are much more common than people think.
What's more, Strobel delves into the most controversial question of all: what about miracles that don't happen? If God can intervene in the world, why doesn't he do it more often to relieve suffering? Many American Christians are embarrassed by the supernatural, not wanting to look odd or extreme to their neighbors. Yet, The Case for Miracles shows not only that the miraculous is possible, but that God still does intervene in our world in awe-inspiring ways. Here’s a unique book that examines all sides of this issue and comes away with a passionate defense for God's divine action in lives today.
Also available: The Case for Miracles Spanish edition, kids' edition, and student edition.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Zero proof, zero medical documents that Strobel promised to show. I'd give it a 0/5, but that's not possible, so I give it a 1/5.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5His style of asking questions to see what the other person truly believes in such a way that isn’t threatening and truly genuine. This is the second audiobook I’ve listened to of his, and each time I’m completely blown away by the interviews he does and the way it’s articulated.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Unlike many news writers who churn out garbages today, Lee Strobel sticks to journalistic integrity and impartially approaches the topic, conveying both sides of the arguments.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This has been an enjoyable book to listen. The author was successful searching about miracles and proving them. I will certainly listen to more books from him.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is really fascinating, it opened up my mind to so many new truths. It provides incite on evidence for AND against miracles. And I’ll just say, I was blown away.

A very interesting and compelling read. Well worth your time.
