How do you navigate a marriage when differences of faith threaten to tear you apart?
Lee Strobel was the legal editor for the Chicago Tribune, a Yale graduate, and an atheist when his wife, Leslie, became a Christian early in their marriage. She began going to church; she found new friends; she became a different person. But Lee didnât believe in any of it. Both Lee and Leslie felt they were losing each other.
"Ironically, it was faith in Jesus Christâwhich most couples credit for contributing to the strength of their marriageâthat very nearly destroyed our relationship and split us apart forever," writes Lee.
In this personal and practical book, Lee and Leslie share the lessons theyâve learned on their journey, including: Surprising insights into the thoughts of non-Christian spousesEight principles for reaching out to your partner with the gospelAdvice for raising your children in a spiritually mismatched homeHow to pray for your spouse, with a 30-day guide to get you startedHelpful tips on what to do if youâre both Christians but one lags behind spirituallyAdvice for single Christians about marriageTwelve steps to making the most of your marriage Despite all the emotional clashes they experienced, God answered Leslieâs prayers in miraculous ways. He gave her peace when she was feeling worried, gave her friends to walk with her, and gave her his Holy Spirit to comfort and guide her. Over time, she learned to live out her faith and be an example of Christâs love to Lee. Today, theyâre both Christians and Leeâs conversion story is now a major motion picture, The Case for Christ.
