Zacharias was raised in a nominally Christian family in [[India]] that attended a "liberal-minded church", where Zacharias stated that he "d[id]n't ever recall hearing the gospel preached". He did not accept [[Jesus Christ]] as his Lord and Savior until the gospel was presented to him after a failed [[suicide]] attempt in his late teenage years. He eventually transformed this second chance at life into a love for God and for the practice of [[apologetics]].<ref>[[Lee Strobel]], ''The Case for Faith'', Zondervan 2000</ref>
