Wow, when I was recently on the campus of University of Idaho, I received this book at a 'club fair' and on the other side it has The Life of Jesus. I haven't read it yet though, but I have it right in front of me. wow.....
I read it in 94. Then, I thought it was a great simple book on Christian Apologetic basics. I still feel the same way about it. Ofcourse Josh McDowell has written much more since then (Evidence That Demands a Verdict, More Evidence That Demands a Verdict, etc.). Josh Mcdowell is a pretty respected apologist. Since then I have dove much deeper into the subject of Apologetics and have yet to be disappointed. "More Than a Carpenter" is a great start.
when I became a christian it was the bible and this book that convinced me. Really Good book, McDowell is an excellent apologetic author... I will become one someday.
