More Than a Carpenter

Book • 1977

In 'More Than a Carpenter', Josh McDowell, a former skeptic, presents his journey from agnosticism to Christianity.

Through thorough research, he discovered evidence that supported the claims of Jesus Christ, contrary to his initial intentions to disprove them.

The book, now in a revised and updated edition, addresses questions relevant to today's generation, such as 'How do I find happiness and meaning in life?

', 'Is it really possible to know the truth about God and Jesus?

', and 'How can Jesus be the only way? '.

It examines the reliability of Scripture, the testimony of the disciples, and the clues to the authenticity of the resurrection, making a compelling case for Jesus being more than just a first-century Hebrew carpenter.
