Josh McDowell reminisces about growing up with an abusive, alcoholic father, and talks about the sexual abuse he endured for eight years at the hands of a man hired to help with his parents’ farm. Reflecting on his past, McDowell explains why he’s thankful for his childhood despite the difficulties.
