3.75 stars. I absolutely believe in miracles, and I believe that they still happen today, but I'll admit that I'm a bit more skeptical when it comes to this topic. I liked this book, and it made me think more about miracles, but there was a kind of ableist tone throughout that I took issue with. I go into detail on this in my full review, linked below. This is my least favorite of the "the case for..." books I've read so far.

I flew through this book a lot faster than I was expecting to. Lee has a way of telling stories and documenting his interviews that I find engaging.

I was a little afraid going into it that the skeptic in me was going to go “yeah, but there’s probably a natural explanation for that” after every example, but I found myself mostly just enjoying the stories.

I thought he spent a little more time talking about the miracle of creation than he would have needed to.

The book claims at the outset that it will let readers come to their own conclusions as to if God still performs miracles. However, by the end, it's clear what conclusion the author wants you to come to. While I already believed that God does still perform miracles before reading this book, I worry that this will not convince people who don't. Still decent overall.

I'd say more for non-Christian than Christians (wasn't really much biblical evidence used) but learnt lots about the big bang which was surprising (but I guess its the biggest miracle of them all).

I enjoyed reading this book and all others by Lee Stroble. The Case for Miracles really helped me understand and gave me hope.

Short and sweet, a compelling argument for the existence of miracles from Christian, agnostic, and atheist perspectives.

Recently a friend shared his view on miracles, that he is compelled to believe that they have ceased along with the sunset of the apostolic mission. So I tackled this book as an intro into the subject. A quick read for sure. I'm walking away, once again reassured by the compelling(even scientifically documented) evidence that God is working miraculously today.

One odd thing is that the writer present the old-earth creationism theory, meaning big bang, with the whole bag of billions of years. I don't know if he also then takes evolution as part of that package, but definitely spent a good chunk of the book talking about big bang.

Miracles? Yes!

I have read several of Lee Strobel's books and this one does not disappoint. I'm always amazed at how he takes something, be it faith, a creator, or miracles, and finds a scientific, fact-based way to "prove" it is the truth. I am a Christian so I don't need convincing but I enjoy the logical reassurance. Great book! I recommend to anyone who is open to looking at these questions in an honest way.
