Lee Patrick Strobel is an American Christian author and a former investigative journalist. He has written several books, including four that received ECPA Christian Book Awards (1994, 1999, 2001, 2005)[2] and a series which addresses challenges to the veracity of Christianity. He also hosted a television program called Faith Under Fire on PAX TV and runs a video apologetics web site.
This 365-day devotional combines historical fact and theological truth as the author, Lee Strobel, builds a case for why Jesus is Christ. Written to address the questions of 8-12 year old readers, this Case for Christ devotional combines Biblical history and research to encourage your child's spiritual growth. Each day includes scripture, short devotional, questions for contemplation, and prayer. This is a great book for really personalizing the faith. The author does a very good job of laying out prophesy and history in leading up to the deity of Christ. We included this devotional in our homeschool morning basket, but it would be great for family devotions or as a book for individual study. Personally, I loved reading through it with my children as it really forced me to think and reflect as well.

When I saw that Lee Strobel had written a book, “The Case for Christ Devotions for Kids” I knew I had to pick it up for my kids. Each night we read a different devotional, which taught different lessons and also challenged the way they thought about religion and God. I had initially worried that the topics would be difficult to follow for kids in the 8-11 age group, but quickly learned that this was not the case. Each lesson challenged them through lessons in the Bible, and through insightful questions on each lesson, challenging them to examine religion in a new way. We all began to look forward to the nightly devotionals, and discussions that followed based off the questions.
I highly recommend this book as a daily devotional for kids.
The Case for Christ Devotions for Kids 365 Days with Jesus by Lee Strobel is one of my favorite devotion books all time! In the same vein of the Case of Christ, Mr. Strobel brings his investigating expertise and interviews experts about questions about if Jesus really existed the way the Bible says. I love how each of the 365 devotion entries are not only backed up by actual evidence, but Biblical evidence as well. The Case for Christ Devotions for Kids 365 Days with Jesus Is written in a way that 8-12 year olds can understand and at the same time, challenge them and help them grow in their Faith. I love how the devotion breaks up the investigation and includes a Bible verse, prayer, and questions with each entry. I highly recommend this book. Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book. My review is also on Goodreads.
This was a good devotional for our family (kids ages 10-15). Sometimes it was a little too simplistic for our fifteen-year-old, but he was a good sport with our discussions, letting his younger brothers take the lead. At times the reading level was much too high for our ten-year-old, and even our thirteen-year-old struggled with some of the advanced terminology in some of the devotionals (and they are both very good readers).
But, the scripture/devotional entries were the perfect length to read on our 10 minute drive to school. The questions led to some great discussions (and further questions), which I appreciated.
