I just learned about Josh McDowell through pastor Alan Parr. This was the most amazing testimony I've ever heard. He is truly a blessing and I am so glad he finally found unconditional love through Jesus.
I can empathize with you. your testimony brings back memories. I am Daniel McDowell from Lake Orion, Michigan. you might be kin. I created a McDowell from Michigan site o n face book.
Very, very raw, real, and emotional. God bless Josh for having the courage to share his story. Lots of people have suffered abuse, and they are alone in their suffering. God uses people like Josh to bring people to Christ!
Thank you for your story Josh, mine is similar, though I am alone, I am not on your path of your Christianity. My doctor put me on to you, he is a Christian and a minister also, you seem so gentle and down to earth, thank you for sharing your pain and words. Thank you
I can relate ..I use to wish my Dad dead every day..I now am a child of GOD..and realize how lost I was,,I love my Dad..I wish I could of told him so..Thank you for sharing.. I can feel your emotion ..GOD BLESS YOU JOSH.......
Hi Sir. I just finished reading your book undaunted. It was a faithlifting texts.I'm from the Philippines. I'm a Christian. I really Love it. Thank you for sharing your testimonies 😊
Thank you so much dear Josh for showing what the love of Christ can do in people's lives.You probably will never know the real effect or extent of your loving testimony.
That was such an awesome testimony and expresses the love, mercy, and power of God. LISTEN!! I have been a Christian for about 15 years now and quite knowledgeable theologically, yet did not understand exactly what God's purpose was in creating us knowing that we'd be so wicked. Upon hearing Mr. McDowell expound on the "passion" of God for His people, the light came on. I know how wonderful it is to be loved, most of us do. There is also great joy in showing love. God created us so we can love each other. ALL of us. A family. He is our Father. Not just a title given by a religious edict or something. It is a truth, a relationship, a magnificent relationship of true love. Praise God! Love will abide forever because God is love and He is eternal.
It's been 30 years since I first heard you speak at OSU. And today you made me cry tears of joy and pain. We will be fuly healed and completely loved one day. Maranatha! Thank you for your honest testimony.
I am very glad you chose to stay alive. I am glad to be here too, and enjoying your books very much - all those levels of confirmation! Blessed to hear your story. Thank you.
Thanks Josh. I'm a new believer and really admire true followers of God like yourself giving so much of yourself to the Church. I can't wait to meet up in the Kingdom brother! Hendrix and Marley are there waiting for us! They were Born Again! God Bless in Jesus name!
amazing testimony, congratulations for the job you are doing. we need so much to have your instructions , may god continue pouring more blessings. i have an english school in central america and am playing all your videos so that they learn about how powerful is god, he has worked wonderfully in you. many thanks mr. josh mcdowell.
Wow I can relate to your story so much and this message did so much for me. Thank you so much for sharing. I have the same way about people touching me kindof. Jesus died for you as much as me. Wow that's powerful and I've had to forgive people in my family and it's been really hard to let all that hurt go. God bless you and thank you.
JOSH que nuestro PADRE CELESTIAL LE BENDIGA CON SU FAMILIA ,le agradezco a mi DIOS ,por su testimonio real porque me tocó mi corazón ,personalmente vi la película y es hermosísima ,y penosa pero e aprendido que área vez de las pruebas uno conoce más a DIOS me despido de usted con bendiciones del REY
QUE LINDO SEÑOR ES TU PALABRA TAN LINDA Q NOS YENA DE AMOR GRACIAS JOSH.ORG./UNDAUNTED X INTERMEDIO TUYO AHORA ME ACERCO MAS ATU PALABRA SEÑOR TE NECESITO GRACIAS X MORIR X MI EN LA CRUZ PERDONAME Y PURIFICAME AHORA CONFIO EN TI COMO MI SALVADOR Y SEÑOR EN MI VIDAAAA
Mr. Josh McDowell, is thoughtful, a man sincerely seeking the truth. When he came to the conclusion that Jesus is true, logically, on the basis of the knowledge of the history of Christianity and the Church, one will conclude who teaches the truth. If God wishes, he will become a Catholic, or an Orthodox Christian. :-) God bless him. :-)
Essentially Luther, and how he can preach the truth by faith and life of faith! Not spreading dirt against Catholics and Muslims, proclaiming the pure truth, Jesus Christ! It proves his deeds, existence, the biblical truth!

Deedat said that there is no verse in the 27 books of the NT that Jesus said he was dead and has come back to life.How did you Josh Mcdowell at the right moment open the Bible to Rev.1:18 and prove Deedat wrong.Was it at the back of your mind.The Holy Spirit was really with you that day on August, 1981.A debate to remember.God bless you.
me desculpe mas acrdito q o Sr. tenha passado p td isso. mas os seus livros são cobrados. e que a igraja verdadeira de cristo n cobra p falar a verdadeira palavra de Deus. n se cobra nada. mas continue crendo no NOSSO PAI CELESTIAL pq ELE é verdadeiro.

E SE PUDER PARAR DE COBRAR ELAS COISAS QUE FAZ P LEVAR A PALAVRA DE CRISTO, O Sr. VAI VER QUANTAS BENÇÃOS RECEBERA. QUE O PAI CELESTE TI CUBRA DA VERDADE.
I am very sorry that you have had abuse in your life. It hurts and I hate that for you. At the same time, it has illustrated my problems with Christianity. If your view were true, an omniscient being knew that was going to happen, and chose to not stop it. That's why we shouldn't swear on the Bible. A man of your age may have grandkids. Would you stop that from happening to your grandkids, or would you file that away under "God's plan?" For the record, I bet you would stop it, and I truly hope you or anybody else is never in that position. That's evil. Your whole idea about intolerance, while Biblical correct, is inherently evil and hypocritical. No wonder they let you speak at Liberty University. You couldn't handle it if you were on the receiving end of your own schtick. Everybody is a fundamentalist until we talk about divorce, gluttony and women following 1st Timothy 2:12. Then....well that's different, you see you need to know the context of the people blah blah blah....right.
I see you're using terms like good and evil. But according to your worldview, those things don't exist. Who are you to try and push your subjective morality on everyone else? You're worldview is totally contradictory. I could go on and on, it just bothers me to see atheists high jack these terms when they can't be applied to their worldview. Stay consistent. "The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference.” -Richard Dawkins
Alex Pappas Hijack your morality? What morality? The part where God almost had Abraham kill Isaac? Or is the part where he killed everybody on the planet? Remember an omniscient being could fix these people ahead of time, right? He just chose not to do so. Oh, and what did Job do to get tortured. He was considered one of God's perfect people, until he and Satan turned Job into a bar bet.
Ron Lonas So, let me get this straight (and I'm not being snide here, I'm just genuinely confused by what you're saying): Morality doesn't exist, according to your worldview...but if it *did*, then the God of the Bible's morality would be wrong, according to your worldview? Please tell me where you're getting your ideas of morality from, because according to mainstream, atheistic science, it doesn't exist, so how can someone have something bad or good if that something never existed in the first place?
Stephen Bassette I never said that morality doesn't exist. In my first post I used the words good and evil. Then, Alex built this strawman argument of "who are you....subjective morality." Most people that write like that believe God is the giver of morality. Then I explained some of the many immoral acts he committed. I think most things that we find moral have to do with social contracts. Please tell me why you feel your God is so moral when proof of his murdering, misogyny, endorsement of slavery is in print in the Bible. All of that stuff is wrong, unless God does it, b/c then it is okay. That doesn't make any sense to me.
So disappointed he was still alive huh? Well I'm glad I didn't go listen to you speak, I'm not going to listen to another word you say. You were in Bozeman? Dude, you said that with the calm attitude of an unrepentant person. Really sick!
