It was one of the first apologetics books I ever read. Later, I discovered Catholic Answers online when a particularly insistant Jehovah's Witness kept coming back. When I offered the book (Strobel's) and some Catholic Answers material to her one time, she said she was "not allowed" to read anything I gave her like that. It was the last time I saw her. <br/><br/>I wonder what ever became of her. You know, I nearly put down The Case for Christ, too. It was one of the first apologetics books I ever read.
