This DVD shines as a story of redemption! Josh McDowell graduated from Wheaton Bible College with honors. He has been in the ministry for over fifty years. He has written over 125 books including “More than a Carpenter”. Yet his beginnings would shock a lot of people.
In this DVD we see the biography of his life, that of a son of an alcoholic father and a mother so over-weight that when she went to his football games she had to sit outside in the car because she was too large for the wooden bleachers to hold her. He was molested as a boy by someone who lived in the house. He had to keep his father from killing his mother. Yet his father was a different man when not drinking. Josh could not wait to leave his home in Union City, Michigan, but soon was confronted by Christians in college. He was bitter but he took on their challenge to prove the resurrection didn’t happen. Instead the evidence he had was overwhelming but it was by reading about God’s love that his life was dramatically changed forever. He decided he needed to reconnect with his father, and by making a simple statement to his dad, “I love you”, his father’s life would change more dramatically in some ways than his very own.
