As many of you know, this year I helped my dad update his classic, "More Than a Carpenter." We added a chapter on the New Atheists as well as included responses to common objections to the Christian faith (such as the Da Vinci Code and the so-called Gospel of Judas) that have arisen since "More Than a Carpenter" was first released in 1977.

One of the fun things in updating the book was learning that it played a key role in Mark Driscoll's decision to become a Christian. Well, since Driscoll is a Calvinist, I guess it wasn't really his decision, but you get the point!

This spring my dad's ministry, Josh McDowell Ministry, is launching a huge campaign entitled, "Reclaiming Easter," to help get the word out about the evidence for the historical Jesus. For the past few months my dad has been working on developing free PowerPoint slides and sermons to go along with the updated "More Than a Carpenter."
