1) Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions

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. In Tactics, 10th Anniversary Edition, Gregory Koukl demonstrates how to keep conversations moving forward in constructive ways through thoughtful diplomacy. You'll learn how to turn the tables on questions or provocative statements. Most important, you'll learn how to get people thinking about Jesus. Tactics provide the game plan for communicating the compelling truth about Christianity with confidence and grace.
