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 effortlesslyPresent the truth clearly, cleverly, and persuasivelyGraciously and effectively expose faulty thinkingSkillfully manage the details of dialogueMaintain an engaging, disarming style even under attack
Tactics provides the game plan for communicating the compelling truth about Christianity with confidence and grace.

    I had no idea how the writer would present his methods to “defend the faith”. I was glad to hang in there because he gave me assurance that arguments people make about being a Christian are not to be avoided but encouraged. Knowing what you believe and why you believe it should make you a better communicator for Jesus Christ. Practice, courage, and a plan for dealing with objections are key. Allowing God to have control the outcome sets us free to share with joy, truth, and love.

    I really enjoyed reading this book. I found the early chapters in the book to be similar to some of the ideas within Peter Boghossian’s book “A Manual for Creating Atheists.” This isn’t a bad thing, but actually helped me to better understand how to have meaningful dialogues with other people.
  • Good title!

    This book is exactly what the title says it is. I have read several apologetic books and would recommend this book to anyone that already has a clear understanding of the Bible and some of the basic ways to defend our faith. He touches a lot more on the human aspect of apologetics. That is to say you learn how to best interact or argue your point with others who hold non christian beliefs. He also has many clever analogies, stories, etc. to add to your arsenal. Great book!
  • An eye opener!!
