I've just finished reading Lee Strobel's The Case for a Creator. It is an excellent, entry-level look at the intelligent design movement. Basically, the theory of intelligent design says that certain features of the universe, the earth, and life itself are best explained by an intelligent cause rather than an undirected process such as natural selection.
Strobel is a former atheist and was once chief legal affairs editor for the Chicago Tribune. That backgrounds forms the basis for Strobel's approach to the subject matter. Each chapter is a journalist's interview of a leading expert in a particular field within the intelligent design movement.
I would recommend this book to Christians seeking to gain greater understanding into the scientific arguments for creation. However, I would not recommend using it as a tool to give to your unbelieving friends. Use it to inform your own understanding so that you can interact with your friends about the subject.
