More Than a Carpenter

Josh McDowell set out to disprove Jesus—until the evidence led him to faith. More Than a Carpenter tells the compelling story of a former skeptic whose life was transformed through rigorous research into the claims of Christianity. Co-authored with his son Sean McDowell, this updated edition delves into essential questions about happiness, meaning, and the truth of Jesus, offering insights that resonate with both skeptics and believers.

In this revised edition, the McDowells address some of the most pressing questions facing today’s generation, such as whether it’s possible to truly know God and why Jesus is claimed to be the only way. With over 16 million copies sold, More Than a Carpenter remains a powerful resource for anyone seeking to understand or deepen their faith in Jesus Christ.
