Orphan Carpenter

An orphan from birth with serious medical complications, Kenneth went into foster care at three months old. Eventually adopted by his foster family, he grew up in a small northern Canadian city. Being raised by loving Christian parents and mentored by his carpenter grandfather, he dreamed of becoming a carpenter himself one day. But the Lord had different plans for young Kenneth. Plans that would take him on an incredible life journey to the pinnacle of the North American construction industry. Kenneth has always held firmly to his faith throughout the journey, trials, and tribulations. He's served in church administration, hosted, and led Bible studies throughout his adult life. He lives in Orange County, California, with his wife, Celine.

"This is a spellbinding personal narrative of Ken McQuarrie’s remarkable life. Remarkable for its authentic processing of pain and suffering, and even more remarkable for the surprising redemptive grace of God that has been evident in the formation and transformation of Ken from earliest breath and onwards. It will bring comfort and insight in pastorally rich ways, and perhaps lead us all closer to the God who is both utterly transcendent AND comforting close (immanent) to each of us, guiding our path … we can be sure He "will shepherd his people forever" (Psalm 28:9)"Professor Ross Hastings, PhD (chemistry, Queen's, Ontario), PhD (theology, St. Andrews, Scotland) ― Sangwoo Youtong Chee Chair of Theology, Regent College, Vancouver B.C.
