Description

Have you ever wondered what it might be like to step back in time to the era when Jesus walked the earth, and finally be able to ask life’s toughest questions? If so, The Carpenter’s Son is the moving, thoughtful, and inspirational novel you’ve been searching for.

Acclaimed journalist Brooklyn Sterling has established a hard-earned reputation at the Boston Globe for uncovering fraud, political corruption, and con artists. Known for her deep skepticism and shaped by personal grief, Brooklyn is the least likely person to accept the idea of miracles. Yet, when reports surface across Boston of seemingly impossible events—terminally ill patients miraculously recovering, a blind man’s sudden sight restoration, even a child brought back from the dead—she sets out determined to expose these incidents as elaborate hoaxes.

However, Brooklyn’s investigation quickly takes a surprising turn when she crosses paths with a mysterious man who seems to appear wherever miracles occur. The harder she digs for answers, the more the line between truth and belief becomes blurred. When tragedy strikes even closer than before, Brooklyn is given an unbelievable chance—an encounter no atheist could have ever dreamed possible: spending one full day face-to-face with Jesus Christ himself.

In a deeply personal journey filled with tough questions and extraordinary revelations, Brooklyn begins to confront her regrets, fears, and the world’s deepest struggles, challenging the worldview she’s always clung to. From a family shattered by grief to a humble carpenter’s son who sees straight into people’s hearts, Brooklyn is pulled into an experience that will transform everything she thought she knew.

The Carpenter’s Son is an unforgettable and deeply moving novel that invites readers to personally experience Christ’s compassion, wisdom, humor, and heart. Filled with memorable characters, powerful insights, and a beautiful message of faith, redemption, and hope, this story will restore your belief—not just in God, but in humanity and the extraordinary power of love.

Ideal for readers who cherished The Shack and The Case for Christ, this novel serves as a powerful reminder that even in life’s darkest moments, none of us are ever truly alone.
