It wasn't a phone call from an informant that prompted me
to reexamine the case for Christ. It was my wife.
Leslie stunned me in the autumn of 1979 by announcing
that she had become a Christian. I rolled my eyes and braced
for the worst, feeling like the victim of a bait-and-switch scam. I
had married one Leslie-the fun Leslie, the carefree Leslie, the
risk-taking Leslie and now I feared she was going to turn into
some sort of sexually repressed prude who would trade our
upwardly mobile lifestyle for all-night prayer vigils and
volunteer work in grimy soup kitchens. Instead I was
pleasantly surprised-even fascinated-by the
fundamental changes in her character, her
integrity, and her personal confidence. Eventually
I wanted to get to the bottom of what was
prompting these subtle but significant shifts in
my wife's attitudes, so I launched an all-out
investigation into the facts surrounding the case
for Christianity.
Setting aside my self-interest and prejudices as best I
could, I read books, interviewed experts, asked questions,
analyzed history, explored archaeology, studied ancient
literature, and for the first time in my life picked apart the Bible
Lee Strobel ( The case for Christ).

Atheist stands on the Aguement
"there is no God":
How could there
be a loving God if he consigned people to hell just for not
believing in him?

Dixon sighed. "It was a plea bargain," he said, referring to
the practice in which prosecutors recommend a reduced
sentence if a defendant pleads guilty and thus saves
everybody the time and expense of a trial.
