hhhmmm, something to think about

Recommended to me by TJ Casey, a first time author for me, a popular, widely distributed book about being a Christian and believing in Jesus Christ as the son of God who was brought into the world to die for our sins. It attempts to serve as a testamonial to be used to answer some of the key questions you might have about what it means to be a Christian. The book tries to answer some of the questions one might be having a hard time believing. A key point in the book I hadn't thought of was Jesus 12 disciples. After the resurrection, the majority of them thought why did I waste so much time following this guy that's now gone, what was the purpose? Then they recommitted and showed they were willing to die for what they believed, what Jesus had taught them. If you have questions about being a Christian, need confirmation or reaffirmation, then give this book a try. It's a short read, the audio version, which the author narrated, is less than 2 hours.

Not exactly the same as the book ...

N/A

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No but it was all informative

Any additional comments?

I had the actual book and was following along. There were many paragraphs and even a chapter that he left out of the audio that was in the book itself. I would get the book as it has a ton of references and sections that for some reason he decided to not include in the audio.

Not the original

It was good but having read the original over 10 years ago Anamar still inspired by it today. It doesn’t compare. However any book that can touch the soul of 1 person to repent and turn to
Jesus is a good book.

very inspiring and simple

this book is highly recommended for people who wants to find the Truth about the Relationship of God which is Christ Jesus.

This is a serious life changing book

After reading this book anybody that rejects the gospel will have a healthy enough respect for it at atleast! I am a Christian already listening to this book just served to strengthen my faith.

Wonderful book

I enjoyed reading this book. Although I have already accepted Jesus into my heart and given him control of me, this story was one I needed to read. I was having a crisis of faith and this book showed me that God does exist. Thank you Josh McDowell.

Powerful Truth

wonderful Book of Life Changing insights and teaching that fortifies you and can be used to share with others to build the kingdom

Life changing! Next to the Bible, the best.

Truly the best book for evangelism next to the Bible. I give them away as witnessing tools.

The reading is fast and easy to fall behind.

If you could sum up More Than a Carpenter Today in three words, what would they be?

Amazing content.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I greatly appreciate the effort of the author but when he is reading it sounds like he is trying to finish it as fast as possible. I love the content but compared to other good narration it is just too fast and hard to follow. Too bad because the content is amazing.

Any additional comments?

Please re-narrate at a more reasable pace. I know this was not deliberate and I appreciate the effort of the author.

Great testimony loved it

Great book for Christians and people trying to decide their future. Loved the analogy of the judge.
