Title: Thomas- Moving Beyond Your Doubts to Devotion (2)
Series: Follow Me: The Story Of Discipleship
Author: Tim Badal
Text: John 20:19-31
He couldn't believe what his wife Leslie was telling him. "I have come to follow Jesus," she said. Lee's thoughts were, "Jesus? We never believed in him. Church? We never went to church. The Bible? That's a group of fairy tales and stories, Leslie, that we know aren't true." Their discussion turned into a debate. The debate into a dialog. The dialog into an argument and fight.

Lee wrote other books, including The Case for Faith and The Case for Easter. He wrote to doubters and skeptics alike and sold millions of copies. Today he proclaims the message that he once doubted, and Lee and L ...
