“Man, I know all these things are supposed to seem important to us—the cars, the condo, our version of success—but if that’s the case why is the general feeling out there reflecting more impotence and isolation and desperation and loneliness? If you ask me, I say toss all this—we gotta find something else….I don’t have those answers yet. The emphasis now is on success and personal gain. I’m the guy
who’s got everything. I’m sitting in it, and I’m telling you, this is not it.”
BRAD PITT, ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE

“All I had given the evidence was a cursory look. I had read just enough philosophy and history to find support for my skepticism—a fact here, a scientific theory there, a pithy quote, a clever argument. Sure, I could see some gaps and inconsistencies, but I had a strong motivation to ignore them: a self-serving and immoral lifestyle that I would be compelled to abandon if I were ever to change my views and become a follower of Jesus. As far as I was concerned, the case was
closed. There was enough proof for me to rest easy with the conclusion that the divinity of Jesus was nothing more that the fanciful invention of superstitious people. Or so I thought."
LEE STROBEL, THE CASE FOR CHRIST
