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 robust 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, was so much more. Josh went on to write this inspirational book on Christian apologetics, More Than a Carpenter, which has sold over 16 million copies and transformed countless lives. Now, in this revised and updated edition, Josh is joined by his son, Sean McDowell, as they tackle the questions that today's generation continues to ask: - "How do I find happiness and meaning in life?" - "Is it really possible to know the truth about God and Jesus? - "How can Jesus be the only way?" Whether you're a spiritual cynic or a long-time Christian, experience a new perspective on faith through this bestselling, timeless classic on who Jesus really is.
