About this ebook

He thought Christianity was a sham. Then it changed his life.

Skeptic Josh McDowell thought Christians were out of their minds. He ridiculed and insulted them, then decided to combat them with his own thorough research to disprove the claims of Jesus Christ. To his surprise, he discovered that the evidence suggested exactly the opposite—that Jesus, instead of being simply a first-century Hebrew carpenter, truly was the God he claimed to be.

Josh went on to write the inspirational work on Christian apologetics, More Than a Carpenter, which has sold over 15 million copies. In this revised and updated edition, with over 15 million copies in print since its original publication, More Than a Carpenter has changed countless lives. Now, in this revised and updated edition, Josh is joined by his son, Sean, as they tackle the questions that today’s generation continues to ask:

• “Can I be spiritual without believing in God?”
• “How can I make sure that my life counts for something?”
• “Is it really possible to know anything for sure about God or Jesus?”

This edition is an accessible read for seekers and a great evangelism tool.

Ratings and reviews

I used to be an atheist. I didn't realize the immensity of my inner hatred until the immensity of God's love entered my life. Today my life is very different. I have read many accounts on the life of Jesus, but More Than A Carpenter is undoubtedly one of the best. Clear, concise, easy to grasp, and the final chapter had me wiping away tears. If you're stuck on the fence, buy it -- you won't be sorry.

If you have ever doubted your faith and the existence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, then you must read this book. It provides a complete and detailed account of the reality of who Jesus is and puts forth the evidence of the authenticity of the Bible and the eyewitness accounts of Jesus. Even if you are a firm believer in our Lord and Savior this book remains a must. It is even more exciting to be re-affirmed in your believe and to read about the ample evidence there is for Jesus and His resurrection. We serve a great and mighty King!

A foundational book that everyone who is starting their Christian walk. Or someone who does not know the facts. If you are interested in finding out the facts you should take the time to read this book. I am a barber by trade. And I run across a lot of people that are looking to find out about Jesus Christ.
