Overview

In a world increasingly indifferent to Christian truth, followers of Christ need to be equipped to communicate with those who do not speak their language or accept their source of authority. Gregory Koukl demonstrates how to get in the driver's seat, keeping any conversation moving with thoughtful, artful diplomacy.

You'll learn how to maneuver comfortably and graciously through the minefields, stop challengers in their tracks, turn the tables and---most importantly---get people thinking about Jesus. Soon, your conversations will look more like diplomacy than D-Day.

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

What People Are Saying

From the Publisher
Greg Koukl is a master of the ideas that under gird the Gospel and one of the finest Christian communicators on the planet. He has spent many thousands of hours in front of the most difficult skeptics and their toughest questions and has developed very effective techniques to bring the truth to the surface of any conversation with love and grace.

I have learned so much over the years by studying his persuasive yet respectful approach to giving reasons for faith. His book, Tactics, presents his methods in a way that is engaging and accessible to every believer. I hope Christians in churches all over the country gather together to study this important book and learn to stand firm for the Gospel in these dark times. -- Craig Ellison, PhD, Founder and Director, Graduate Program in Christian Apologetics Biola University

'In a society filled with so much anti-Christian rhetoric, there is no better book to equip Christians to think clearly, soundly, and inoffensively in the face of the devices employed today in opposition to the Christian Faith. -- Norm Geisler, Author, Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics, and When Skeptics Ask'

    Tactics by gregory Koukl is well anmed

    Tactics- A game Plan for Discussing your Christian Convictions - is well named as it provides several tactics for responding to arguments and sharing your convitions.
    Koukl enables people to be as 1 Peter 3:15 states prepared to give answers in a gentel humble and respectful manner. This book is an excellent resource for someone beginning a study of apologetics or for someone who has an interest in apologetics. Examples are drawn form real life expereince and terms like "steamroller" are used to describe a tactic in a way that is accuarte but memorable. Chapter summareis are included to further assit the reader in processing the very useful information given by Koukl.

    Practicle With Wisdom and Tact(ics)

    Koukl writes with powerful simplicity. Powerful in that what he has to say is so practical, simple in that what he says is so lucid and born in his vast experience in talking about how people reason -- or not.
    There are legions of theological babblers who so need a week with this book.
    Would that philosophers and other people with big ideas wrote this well; so concise, so clear and yet nothing left out.

    I have been a fan of Greg Koukl for a few years now. His writing

    I have been a fan of Greg Koukl for a few years now. His writing is clear and easy to read and at the same time rich and full of practical information. He is, in my opinion, one of the very best communicators and, in this book, shares how others can improve their communication as well. The tactics Koukl describes in this book can be used for sharing your faith, but also for a whole host of other areas of communication. They can be used at work during discussions with co-workers, direct reports, management, etc. for everyday work-related topics.

    If there were one book on communication that I could recommend, this would be it. If you have ever felt stumped in a conversation with someone, particularly when disagreeing on a particular subject, this book will help you. It can help with discussions at work, at home with your spouse, with friends and these tactics can also be employed when communicating via social media.

    I simply cannot adequately express how good this book is!
