Book Reviews of More Than a Carpenter
Book Review: Sure beats Atheism or Agnosticism!
Summary: 5 Stars
Gave one of these books to one of my friends. Unbeknown to me, he was planning on going home, settling his estate and committing suicide that day. Instead, he read this book, changed his mind about the suicide, and has since had his life turned completely around from the inside out. He has complete peace about his purpose in and for life, and is living with eternity in mind instead of living for himself and for a temporal world that has no reasonable answers for life and death.
This is not something you get from a book by Russell, Nietzsche or Marx!
Get some of these books and give them to friends! This message in this book can make a real and positive difference in someone's life!
Summary of More Than a Carpenter
Josh McDowell's timeless examination of the true nature of Christ and his impact on our lives is one of the best-selling Christian books ever (more than eight million copies in print worldwide!). Written by a former skeptic of Christianity, it is a hard-hitting book for those who doubt Jesus' deity and his purpose.Spanish available
Since its release, More Than a Carpenter has been challenging readers to ask the question, "Who is Jesus?" Author and renowned speaker Josh McDowell acknowledges that while the topic of God is widely accepted, the name of Jesus often causes irritation. "Why don't the names of Buddha, Mohammed, Confucius offend people? The reason is that these others didn't claim to be God, but Jesus did." By addressing questions about scientific and historical evidence, the validity of the Bible, and proofs of the resurrection, McDowell helps the reader come to an informed and intelligent decision about whether Jesus was a liar, a lunatic, or the Lord. This short, 128-page gem does not employ fancy theological words, forsaking the layman, but reads more like an intimate research document laying out the facts with veracious accuracy, from reliable sources ranging from secular scientists to conservative seminarians. A skeptic himself for many years, McDowell always believed that Christians were "out of their minds" but now insists that "never has an individual been called upon to commit intellectual suicide in trusting Christ as Savior and Lord." McDowell adeptly articulates fundamental answers to poignant questions that cause the skeptic to consider whether Jesus was a liar causing countless martyrs to die in his wake, a lunatic deserving death, or actually the Lord of the universe. --Jill Heatherly
