The Case for Heaven: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for Life After Death

Written by Lee Strobel

Narrated by Lee Strobel

Read by the author.

Bestselling and award-winning author Lee Strobel interviews experts about the evidence for the afterlife and offers credible answers to the most provocative questions about what happens when we die, near-death experiences, heaven, and hell. 

We all want to know what awaits us on the other side of death, but is there any reliable evidence that there is life after death? Investigative author Lee Strobel offers a lively and compelling study into one of the most provocative topics of our day. 

Through fascinating conversations with respected scholars and experts--a neuroscientist from Cambridge University, a researcher who analyzed a thousand accounts of near-death experiences, and an atheist-turned-Christian-philosopher--Strobel offers compelling reasons for why death is not the end of our existence but a transition to an exciting world to come. Looking at biblical accounts, Strobel unfolds what awaits us after we take our last breath and answers questions like:

• Is there an afterlife?
• What is heaven like?
• How will we spend our time there?
• And what does it mean to see God face to face? 

With a balanced approach, Strobel examines the alternative of Hell and the logic of damnation, and gives a careful look at reincarnation, universalism, the exclusivity claims of Christ, and other issues related to the topic of life after death. With vulnerability, Strobel shares the experience of how he nearly died years ago and how the reality of death can shape our lives and faith. 

Follow Strobel on this journey of discovery of the entirely credible, believable, and exhilarating life to come.

Further reading suggestions, a scripture list, and a study guide are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Reviews for The Case for Heaven

[Mitch Winstead-Licensed Insurance Broker · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

He presents a lot of information from well educated people. He also talks about near death experiences. This book helped me confirm there is a heaven.

[Becky Baumgartner · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A thought-provoking investigative look at the theories about what happens after death and the evidence for and against.

[bridget · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Great on NDR and heaven guarantees. Some of it dragged with questions on heaven when God has t disclosed those things to us yet until we arrive to see him in glory.

[Kristen Roberts · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Another great book in the “The Case for” series. Lots of topics are covered from heaven, to reincarnation, to comfort when someone dies, hell, and more. It was way more than I expected.

[Lewis, InSeong Jeong · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Explained extensively and thoroughly various questions regarding our death and life afterwards

[Christopher Smith · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Another fascinating Lee Strobel book, a great book for people seeking information on the afterlife. A good recommendation for physicalists, Hindus, Buddhists, and anyone who wants to know about the afterlife with good evidence.

[Crissey Barrick · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Everything by Lee Strobel is excellent. This was one of my favorites because he covered so many topics that people have questions about - reincarnation, near death experiences, consciousness and the brain, and more. Highly recommend.
