JOSH McDOWELL: The GREAT HOPE to a HOPELESS WORLD

I briefly met Josh McDowell in the early 1970’s after he had just spoken to a large gathering of college students. He won’t remember meeting me, one of the many students in the crowd, but I remember that time as an important point in my spiritual journey. Josh offered logical, reasonable, fact-based reasons for my faith.

Josh didn’t determine what I believed, but he did help me to better make sense of my beliefs. I believed what he said, because he said what I believed. I considered it a blessing to learn from Josh and have since read many books he has authored.

I remember one topic Josh spoke about then was the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The message he shared hasn’t changed nearly a half-century later. He continues to share because of its truth and its meaning to the world and to each individual’s heart. It is an event he calls “the great hope… to a hopeless world.” 

“Christ’s resurrection is the great hope that Christianity offers to a hopeless world — forgiveness of sin and an afterlife with God, free of pain and suffering, and filled with boundless joy!” (Josh McDowell)

I invite you to go to josh.org to find more about the historic fact of the Resurrection. It could lead you to the hope you need but didn’t know where to find.
