Discover the astonishing evidence for intelligent design in this New York Times bestselling book by award-winning journalist Lee Strobel."My road to atheism was paved by science . . . but, ironically, so was my later journey to God," Strobel says.During his academic years, Lee Strobel became convinced that God was obsolete, a belief that colored his journalism career.
