Who was REALLY in the manger on that first Christmas morning -- a prophet, as Muslims claim, a mere human being, as atheists believe, or the unique Son of God, as Christians have proclaimed for 2,000 years?

In this all-new, CCN live broadcast, award-winning author and journalist, Lee Strobel will present the evidence that changed his own beliefs as an atheist and convinced him that Jesus is divine.

This timely event will separate Christmas lore and legend from the trustworthy, historical facts surrounding Jesus’ birth. This exciting evening is designed to bolster the faith of Christians - and - offer spiritual seekers a unique opportunity to hear the persuasive case that Jesus is God's Son!

Through Lee's compelling presentation and a live question-and-answer session, your community can explore the truth of the Christmas miracle:

• Is the Christmas star is credible?
• Does the virgin birth make sense?
• Has Christianity merely copied earlier pagan myths?
• When was Jesus most likely to have been born? (Hint: it wasn't December 25!).

We all know that people are more sensitive to spiritual matters around the holiday season. This event will give you with the ideal opportunity to reach out to the seekers in your community, address their deeper questions, and offer Christ’s message of hope and redemption in a fresh and exciting way.

Make this a Christmas that the people in your church and community will long remember, and join us for The Case for Christmas!
