The Ambition

Dec 01, 2011 Buddy Helms rated it 4 of 5 stars · review of another edition

For a first attempt at fiction writing, Lee Strobel did a fantastic job. The characters are well developed and his knowledge of Chicago politics shines through. He writes about something he is very familiar with as he weaves a tale of deceit and corruption. He is a former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune with a journalism degree from the University of Missouri, and he has even taught First Amendment Law. Many people live under the delusion that they can control everything and manipulate the f...more

Absolutely different. Not in a bad way, mind you. Lee Strobel is an amazing author when he is writing his Case books. I love them. My dad has a whole collection of them, that I love to break into from time to time. They are stunning and amazing. But, when he writes fiction, well....let's just say that while his writing is not terrible, it's certainly not as good as I hoped it would be.

With that being said, The Ambition's plot is awesome. The way the story line had to flow, with mobs, and megach...more

Eric Snow is a pastor of a mega church in Chicago, but he is restless. Perhaps it is time to move past this phase of his life, after all, he is a rich man, from his previous career as a software designer. He feels that perhaps the time has come where he can be more useful in a different arena, perhaps the political arena.

Tom O’Sullivan, a sleazy lawyer who defends criminals has found himself in a position he never would have dreamed of, he is forced by the mob to take a bribe to a federal judge, to fix an arraignment. He is terrified, but knows his deep gambling debt to the mob makes it impossible to refuse this little errand.

Then toss in a cynical reporter looking for a big story that might put him back in contention for a Pulitzer; and just to give the story an added twist fold in a disillusioned Evangelical pastor who is now hungry for more power and you will have most all of the ingredients for the intricate suspense thriller THE AMBITION penned by the New York Times best selling author Lee Strobel.

*** THE AMBITION started off with a bang. With a small time bookie trying to make a little extra on the side by skimming of of his street tax. Only the bookie got caught and was murdered by a relative of the reigning mob boss. Now the hit man was a relative of the ‘boss’ so he contacted a lawyer who owed the ‘boss’ a great deal of money, because of a gambling addiction, to bring a monetary bribe to a corrupt judge. Said lawyer taped his conversation with the judge and soon after most all the lives he touched were in danger. This whole scenario set up THE AMBITION for the events that followed.

What author Strobel did was to throw in the frustration of a cynical, once top news journalist who was looking for that one story that would help him regain his once notable status in the shark tank of his journalistic society. Using his own notable journalistic background Strobel was able to make Gary Strider come to vivid life, with the endless leads, follow-up background checks, and simply an instinct for finding that one bit of information that opens the whole “can of worms” which would put his name back on the top of the heap.

The bigger story is an insiders view of what goes on behind the closed doors of the political big-whigs. Mainly the grooming and molding of a candidate for a senatorial seat. Namely the attractive and dynamic Pastor Eric Snow, a man who had built a back room congregation into a colossal mega church. Strobel showed Eric as a good man, but sometimes good men can be manipulated and Strobel exhibited this with a deft hand and keen understanding.

Bottom Line: THE AMBITION is a fast paced thriller that covers a lot of ground from the back rooms of the mob to the fast deals, manipulations and payoffs going on in the highest political offices of this country. The scenario may be fiction, but the question remains, “what if”. Very interesting reading!

I would have enjoyed it more if I cared more about the characters.

A non-fiction heavyweight, I never thought he’d cross over to fiction.

But with his first major novel, he just made a case for suspense.

The Ambition is a solid suspense thriller: intricate plot, fast-paced narrative. It sets the stage a bit slow, but works up to a gripping climax that resolves (or doesn’t—you decide) without the contrived air that leaves a reader feeling cheated.

No one is immune from ambition, and when you give it a foothold it can take over your life. In The Ambition, meet a power-hungry megachurch pastor, a corrupt judge in a mob murder case, a cynical reporter eager for a scandal, a gambling addict looking for a way out: their paths collide when a secret tape threatens the lives of those who hear it.

The Ambition is equal parts suspense and introspection. Questions on ambition and faith flow naturally from the characters, and nudge you to consider your own life pursuits from the perspective of eternity.

What is commendable in The Ambition is that it doesn’t use (or abuse) the storyline to preach a sermon. Many times, Christian authors sacrifice literary quality for the message, cramming Scripture and prayer into dialog, overdosing on church-y allusions. But who says you can’t have both? And artfully, too.

In The Ambition, the faith prompts feel more genuine and naturally called for in the moment, not just planted every few pages or so to make sure you get the message.

But the book could use some editing for tightness. Too many detailed descriptions bog down the narrative, such as character gestures inserted in between dialog or long drawn-out backgrounders.

The main characters are well-formed, but the supporting cast needs to be trimmed. Many are introduced once, only to be brought up again chapters later, making your mind scramble to put a face to the name.

If you like suspense thrillers and authors such as John Grisham, you’ll love The Ambition. Strobel has dished out a deliciously entertaining read with a side of interesting food for thought.(less)

What makes it the better fiction compared to fiction novels of the same genre are the Christian characters of this story. When I was younger, I used to wonder what a good book will be like if written from a Christian’s point of view - let’s say some of the characters are Christians struggling in this world.

Here’s one novel that answers that question. The character of Eric Snow, a megachurch preacher who set his sights on a Senate seat, show the struggles of a man who used to be so zealous in serving the Lord, whose heart is now focused on achieving his ambition. He is surrounded by people who try to give him the ‘best’ advice.

Then there’s Garry strider, a cynical journalist who is living with a woman who decides to pursue her faith in Jesus Christ. In her desire to obey the Lord’s will, she makes major changes in their relationship that drives Garry Strider to Eric Snow’s church to investigate this newfound faith. His goal is to uncover some scandal happening in the church to prove that Eric Snow is a fraud.

Providing the suspense and thrill of the story is dirty Judge Reese McKelvie. With the mob as his back-up, he runs after the same Senate seat that Eric Snow is after.

This is quite the fantastic story written by bestselling author Lee Strobel.

Author Lee Strobel puts everything he's got into this first novel that won't disappoint his fans. He has taken his experience in law, journalism and religion to produce quite an entertaining tale. Strobel is a best selling author of Christian non-ficion. His Case books are very popular, though I have not read or heard of them before reading The Ambition. It seems he has quite a big following in the Evangelical Christian community who have found his non-fiction books helpful in their lives.

His strong Christian beliefs make there way into this novel as well, which is understandable since it is considered Christian fiction. His characters' beliefs are always shared and there is some preaching (amongst the characters). Though prominent, it doesn't get in the way of the story. In fact, considering the subject matter- it fits. The Ambition is also a thriller. As mentioned previously, there are mob hits, corrupt judges and possible scandals within a large Church. Strobel does a good job of weaving together these two seemingly different genres.

I had a couple minor issues. One- there are many characters to keep track of- a pastor looking to leave his church to get into politics, a corrupt judge, a gambling addict who is a disbarred lawyer, and a journalist looking for a story to help keep his paper afloat. I managed to get confused with who was who quite a bit in the beginning. Once I got more into the story, and their importance to the story revealed itself, I no longer had any issues following along with each character.

[SPOILERS]
Second, I would have liked to seen a little more bad in the good. What I mean is the characters that are supposed to be good guys were and the bad were bad. There wasn't much in the way of surprises in the end. The agnostic becomes a believer, the pastor returns to his flock, the gambler turns to God and the bad guys get caught.
[END SPOILERS]

All in all, it was an enjoyable read even for someone who doesn't normally read Christian fiction.

The characters are woven into a fascinating story where the mob plays into the judicial corruption of a case. With a pay off to a certain judge the system was able to be manipulated so that cases could be steered toward a certain judge who would get them off. Also woven in to the storyline, is Eric Snow; a well off mega-church pastor who is feeling the draw of the political arena and truly believes he can use his influence for good in a Senatorial position opening up due to the current senator’s scandal and Eric Snow is one of the possible candidates to take over. The other possible candidate is Chief Judge Reese McKelvie also vying for that senatorial position. Yes, you quickly see the character’s “ambitions” all over the place. Some motives are pure others corrupt and the story just takes off from there,
The Garry Strider character which is a Chicago new reporter looking to dig up any possible dirt that he can on Pastor Eric Snow gives the perfect cynical character particularly with regards to anything to do with God. Not having much use for God himself, Strobel paints a great picture of the path of cynicism and disbelief in God to a door cracking open just a little bit as the character faces different challenges. For instance he witnesses with his own eyes a true healing and miracle and faces challenges with his girlfriend Gina who is a new Christian. I like it that Garry is taking his time in really figuring out what he believes. One can’t help but feel that this character is close to the author’s own life experience, if you’ve followed Lee Strobel’s non-fiction work The Case for Christ. With that being said, this character in particular, rings very true to me.
The last fourth of the book is very exciting and moves very quickly. I would have to say that the end feels a little rushed but I was able to overlook it because it was clear to me that a sequel is to be written, so we will find out more about how these characters fair. My thoughts are that as a first run novel the story kept my attention and I felt the characters were interesting. There were a lot of characters to keep track of, but with all the people groups that the author melded together- judicial, political, mega-church, journalistic and also “the mob”, it was necessary. In the final analysis I always ask myself- do I like these characters and do I care about what happens to them in the future which helps me gage the effectiveness of the story. The answer is yes, I did and I look forward to Lee Strobel’s fiction offerings in the future.

A drama/thriller novel written by a megachurch pastor! Its a "good read" in the sense that its easy to read, has a strong moving plot, and weird, weird, weird---it has Christian characters who act with integrity! It will throw you for a loop. I found myself caught between cynicism and gratitude for that. It was certainly a fresh narrative in the context of my readings.

You could say they are stock characters--the mob villains especially--but it made for some good late-night reading.

I loved Strobel's "Case" books so when he wrote a novel I decided to check it out, even though Christian fiction can be stereo-typically mundane. (just my opinion) This book is anything but mundane. There are so many characters, all well developed, and the way their stories all intertwine is genius. This book kept me guessing the whole time, I couldn't figure out who were the bad guys and who were the good guys. I hope Strobel doesn't hang up his novel-writing hat! Can't wait for another one!

Good characters, good story - what more do I need. An evangelist and a judge are contenders to fill a Senate term abandoned by the guy elected. A reporter is thrown into the mix. The story hangs together with all the needed credibility.

Good first novel. You can tell - stylistically - that Strobel has a journalism/non-fiction background; I hope he can refine his fictional voice.

On some level, it's refreshing to have Christian lifestyle included in a novel. However, at some points it gets a bit heavy-handed and kind of slows the progress of the plot. The novel would be more compelling without these (as I call them) "in defense of the mega-chuch" sections, but it's ultimately a fun, quick read.

I was pleasantly surprised reading Ambition. Yes, it is Christian fiction, but it reads like the tough mafia story it is. There are obvious stereotypes of the mafia, journalists, and legal types. A lot of the action was predictable, but there were a couple of surprises that made me think, "Wow!" Like a couple of other reviewers, I felt that it ended too soon. Maybe there is a sequel in the works? Overall, a good book. I'd read more from this author.
