“I found that More than Carpenter was really persuasive when I was a faith-seeker for the Truth during my campus time at UiTM Samarahan. I have questions about Christianity – lots of questions… until I seriously encountered with Jesus of the Bible. Since then, my life is never been the same.” (Richard Angelus)
Quote from Josh McDowell's More than a Carpenter, page 5-8:
"My new friends issued a
challenge I couldn’t believe. They challenged me to make a
rigorous, intellectual examination of the claims of Jesus Christ—that he is
God’s Son; that he inhabited a human body and lived among real men and women;
that he died on the cross for the sins of humanity; that he was buried and was
resurrected three days later; and that he is still alive and can change a
person’s life even today.
“I took the challenge
seriously. I spent months in research. I even dropped out of school for a time
to study in the historically rich libraries of Europe. And I found evidence.
Evidence in abundance. Evidence I would not have believed had I not seen it
with my own eyes. Finally I could come to only one conclusion: If I were to
remain intellectually honest, I had to admit that the Old and New Testament
documents were some of the most reliable writings in all of antiquity. And if
they were reliable, what about this man Jesus, whom I had dismissed as a mere
carpenter in an out-of-the-way town in a tiny oppressed country, a man who had
gotten caught up in his own visions of grandeur?"
I had to admit that Jesus Christ was more than a
carpenter. He was all he claimed to be.
Not only did my research turn me around intellectually, but it also answered
the three questions that started me on my quest for happiness and meaning. But
as Paul Harvey says, that’s the “rest of the story.” I will tell you all about
that at the end of this book. First, I want to share with you the core of what I learned
in my months of research so that you, too, may see that Christianity is not a myth,
not the fantasy of wishful dreamers, not a hoax played on the simpleminded. It
is rock-solid truth. And I guarantee that when you come to terms with that
truth, you will be on the threshold of finding the answers to those three
questions:
Who
am I?
What
is my purpose?
What
is my destiny?
Think Big. Start Small. Go Deep.

Hey, Rich. =)
ReplyDeleteMy name is Wilson, and apart from being a writer... just like you, I am also a blogger.
Someone has told me about your site and your monthly giveaways earlier today. So, I went to check out your site and I enjoy what I am seeing here. The contents are substantial, and the generous giveaways will be a great blessing to many.
Are you planning to give out more books in the future, or are you going to restrict it to only 3 books a month?
And if you don't mind, I would also like to ask for your permission to write about and share your site to my friends and connection through my blog, Ripples. It would also be great if I can further spread the news to my other connections via social media so that more people will know about what you are doing here.
Again, I like what I am seeing here, and I believe many people out there would appreciate and enjoy what they would discover here as well.
Thank you, and hope to hear from you soon!
