Synopsis "Unlikely Fighter: The Story of how a Fatherless Street kid Overcame Violence, Chaos, and Confusion to Become a Radical Christ Follower "

Some memories are permanently seared into our childhood brains with a hot iron of adrenaline and fear. For five-year-old Greg, it was the memory of his ma walking back to the house after confronting his stepdad with a splintered, bloodied baseball bat in her hand.Greg Stier was raised in a family of bodybuilding, tobacco-chewing, fist-fighting thugs. He never knew his biological father because his mom had met his dad at a party; she got pregnant, and he left town. Though his mom almost aborted him, in a last-minute twist, Greg's life was spared for so much more.Unlikely Fighter is the incredible story of how God showed up in Greg's life--and how he can show up in yours as well. This is a memoir of violence and mayhem--and how God can transform everything.

Lee Strobel (born January 25, 1952 in Arlington Heights, Illinois) is a Christian author, apologist, and former American journalist, known for his series of books The Case for... which explore the historical and scientific evidence behind the claims of Christianity

Graduated in journalism from the University of Missouri and with a Master of Laws from Yale Law School, Strobel worked for 14 years as a legal editor at The Chicago Tribune, where he received awards for his work in investigative journalism and public service. In 1981, after thoroughly investigating the evidence about Jesus to refute his wife's Christian faith, he converted to Christianity. Subsequently, he dedicated himself to ministry, serving as pastor in churches such as Willow Creek Community Church and Saddleback Church, and taught Constitutional Law at Roosevelt University and Christian Theology at Houston Baptist University

Strobel has written more than 40 books, including The Case for Christ, The Case for Faith, The Case for a Creator, and The Case for Grace, which have sold more than 18 million copies and have been translated into 40 languages. In 2017, his story was adapted into the film The Case for Christ. In 2023, he received the Pillar of History Award from the Museum of the Bible

Currently, Strobel is the founding director of the Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics at Colorado Christian University. He has been married to Leslie Strobel for over 50 years and they have two adult children.
