By his own admission, Lee Strobel was once a narcissistic, drunken, self-absorbed atheist. When his wife, Leslie, became a believer, he wanted a divorce. After two years of trying to disprove Christianity, the Chicago Tribune newspaper reporter was overwhelmed by the avalanche of evidence, and ultimately gave his life to the Lord. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Strobel continues discussing his new book and film, The Case for Heaven, which takes a look at evidence of the afterlife and answers poignant questions concerning what happens when we leave this life. After having almost died, himself, 10 years ago, Strobel interviewed one of his heroes, evangelist Luis Palau, who was dying of stage four cancer at the time. Palau offered invaluable advice, "No one will ever regret being courageous for Christ!"

She described how her spirit separated from her body, which is consistent with God’s Word. Through Maria’s and other first-hand testimonials, Strobel offers a consistent narrative of hope and promise.

They also discuss the tragedy of Laurie losing his beloved son, Christopher, in a 2008 car crash, and the solace he found by reading God’s Word.

The differences between Heaven and Hell are stark. On today's Family Talk, Anne Graham Lotz explains that Hell is described as a fire, a place of intense thirst and torment. By contrast, Heaven has the river of life, a place where our thirst will be quenched. In the darkness of Hell, people will endure pain and be forever separated from their Creator. In the light of Heaven, we will worship Jesus in comfort, forever united with our Savior. Don't keep the Good News to yourself! Invite others to accept Christ's invitation to dwell in Heaven as their eternal home.
