Lee Strobel was an atheist journalist and investigative reporter for the Chicago Tribune in 1980. He and his wife Leslie Strobel have a daughter named Alison and are expecting their second child. After receiving a very special recognition, Lee and his family went out for dinner to celebrate, and Alison choked on a piece of candy. A nurse named Alfie intervenes and saves Alison. She credits the event to God’s will, which Leslie takes to heart.
