Famed author and former atheist Lee Strobel is turning his latest book into a documentary film that explores what awaits us after death.<\/p>\n
In The Case for Heaven, Strobel seeks to answer questions about the afterlife, heaven and hell, and what really happens during near-death experiences.<\/p>\n
\"The pandemic has a lot of people pondering what happens after people close their eyes for the last time in this world,\" Strobel said in a statement about the movie. \"This film provides compelling evidence from both inside and outside the Bible to show that we will, indeed, continue to live on.\"<\/p>\n

The documentary is based on his book The Case for Heaven: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for Life After Death. It was inspired by Strobel's own near-death experience andincludes interviews with world-renowned pastor Francis Chan, best-selling author John Burke, Evangelist Luis Palau, and more.<\/p>\n
During an interview with CBN's Faithwire, Strobel recalled details of his brush with death.<\/p>\n
\"It started several years ago when I almost died. My wife found me unconscious on the bedroom floor,\" Strobel told Faithwire. \"She called an ambulance. I woke up in the emergency room and the doctor looked down at me and said, 'You're one step away from a coma, two steps away from dying,' and then (I) went unconscious again and lingered between life and death for a while until the doctors were able to save me.'\"<\/p>\n
Something happened after Strobel found himself \"hovering over that blurry line between life and death\" he became more intensely interested in exploring the realities awaiting humans after death.<\/p>\n
There are many skeptics of these near-death experiences, especially when people claim to have died and visited heaven. Strobel said he, too, was once a skeptic of these stories until he realized how much research and documentation exists around these accounts.<\/p>\n
\"I was a skeptic about near-death experiences until I found out we have 900 scholarly articles that have been written and published in scientific and medical journals over the last 40 years,\" he said, calling it a \"very well-researched area.\"<\/p>\n
Strobel's incredible transformation from atheist journalist to one of the most impactful Christian apologists of our time has inspired millions.<\/p>\n
The release of The Case for Heaven was announced by Sandoval Studios and K-LOVE Films. It will debut in theatres on April 4, 5, and 6.<\/p>\n
