The Master Carpenter: Devotions for Woodworkers

Does the smell of sawdust seduce you? Do you enjoy going to the ¿tool and drool¿ store? This isn¿t one of the thousands of how-to books out there for amateur woodworkers. But if you love woodworking because you long to create something that outlives you, then this devotional is the book for you. Think of it as an opportunity to become an apprentice in life to Jesus, the Master Carpenter. He wants to come into the shop of your heart, give you a little correction here and there, and inspire you to do what you already know to do.

Hugh Poland, MDiv, is an amateur woodworker and member of the Woodworkers' Club of Houston. A full-time vocational minister for the local church, Hugh has used many of the illustrations in The Master Carpenter in his ministry. Hugh scored a homerun with his first book, the best-selling Judson Press title Steal Away: Devotions for Baseball Fans (2006). He is also a regular contributor to the men's devotional magazine Stand Firm and the Christianity Today affiliate website PreachingToday.com. Hugh's home, family, and workshop are in Kingwood, Texas.
