Welcome

Please follow this Post as I provide links to and share the story of former atheists who later became Christians.

Please feel free to share your story too if it is about atheist turned Christian.

My first story is that of Lee Strobel a former Chicago Tribune journalist whose wife was the first to be converted to Christianity from atheism.

"I thought that the mere concept of an all-loving, all-powerful, all-knowing Creator of the universe was absurd. I thought that God didn't create people, but people created God because they were afraid of death — so they invented this idea of Heaven. Those were the kind of thoughts that I had," he says. "I was hostile toward Christianity."

However, after his wife's conversion, he began to search for answers in the Bible and interviews of other christians of what was so powerful to change his wife for the better after her conversion.

It was this search that led him to Christ.

Read the interview he granted ChristianPost here: http://www.christianpost.com/news/ex-atheist-lee-strobel-my-wifes-conversion-to-christianity-nearly-led-to-divorce-interview-170581/ "

Philip Vander Elst was born to and raised in a family where both parents had no faith in the existence of God. He said:

Growing up in a non-Christian family with intellectually gifted but unbelieving parents, I used to think that belief in God and the supernatural had been discredited by the advance of science, and was incompatible with liberty. Religious faith seemed to me to involve the blind worship of a cosmic dictator, and the abandonment of reason in favour of ‘revelation’. Why, in any case, should I take religion seriously, I thought, when the existence of evil and suffering clearly discredited the Christian claim that our world owed its existence to a benevolent Creator?

But he wouldn't brush aside the writings of C.S. Lewis who had graduated with a Triple First Class Honours in Classics, Philosophy, and English; who also experienced great suffering from childhood and was equally an atheist turned Christian.
