About this ebook

In a world indifferent or even opposed to Christian truth, followers of Christ must be better equipped to communicate the timeless of the Christian faith. But how do you have a conversation with someone who is intent on proving you wrong and won't accept the Bible as a source of authority?

In Tactics, Gregory Koukl demonstrates how to artfully regain control of conversations, keeping them moving forward in constructive ways through thoughtful diplomacy. You'll learn how to maneuver comfortably and graciously through the minefields of a challenging discussion, how to stop challengers in their tracks, and how to turn the tables on question or provocative statement. Most importantly, you'll learn how to get people thinking about Jesus.

Drawing on extensive experience defending Christianity in the public square, Koukl shows you how to:

• Initiate conversations effortlessly
• Present the truth clearly, cleverly, and persuasively
• Graciously and effectively expose faulty thinking
• Skillfully manage the details of dialogue
• Maintain an engaging, disarming style even under attack

Tactics provides the game plan for communicating the compelling truth about Christianity with confidence and grace.

This author presents fantastic advice on how to engage the lost. I now have more confidence than ever before. He also provides lessons on how to do so humbly so that my new found confidence doesn't reek of arrogance. Thank you Koukl

Easy to read and understand. I liked the real life scenarios and examples. It's a logical breakdown on how to really listen in a conversation and react accordingly.

I highly recommend this book for any and all Christians who want to defend the faith. He provides simple yet deep insights into numerous objections to Christianity.
