The movie<\/a> based on Lee Strobel’s book hits theaters today. The trailer<\/a> and previews look outstanding and the subject is timely both with respect to Easter approaching and society’s\u00a0current decline to secular hell.<\/p>\n

There seems a trend that in effort to reach mass movie audiences important books are often abridged onto the big screen.\u00a0Given the importance of the subject I am\u00a0concerned the movie may not do the book and subject\u00a0justice so I read the book last week.\u00a0Apparently I wasn’t paying close attention when downloading the book and purchased a study version of it complete with questions at the end of each chapter, a nice touch for this\u00a0important work.<\/p>\n

The book is outstanding, consistent with scripture, and meticulously researched. Additionally, Mr. Strobel’s years as a journalist are displayed in the outstanding authorship and easy readability of a what is arguably a research or textbook void of drama, comedy, or other entertainment.<\/p>\n

I recommend the book and think our crew will find it easy reading. I plan to see the movie and will return to share my thoughts.<\/p>\n
