Publisher's Summary:

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 the Tactics: Audio Lectures, apologist and radio host Gregory Koukl demonstrates how to get in the driver's seat in discussions about faith, keeping any conversation moving with thoughtful, artful tact. Listeners will learn how to maneuver comfortably and graciously through potential minefields, stop challengers in their tracks, turn the tables, and - most importantly - get people thinking about Jesus with conversations that look more like diplomacy than D-day.

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

Great Way to Keep Communication Going in a Difficult Situation

As a student in high school I learned that it isnât good to tell a teacher that she is wrong, even when you know the subject better than she does. It is better to ask a question and to shape that question in such a way that the teacher will realize her mistake while attempting to answer the question. I never formalized that method, but Gregory Koukl does in his book Tactics. But rather than addressing how not to offend someone who has the ability to influence your grade, Koukl approaches this from the standpoint of how to share your faith. These days, we encounter many people who are offended by Christian beliefs. The tactics Koukl outlines in his book can help us to reduce the conflict and help them discover the truth of what we are saying for themselves. And even if they donât, perhaps the people listening will.

The meat of the book is three questions that we can ask that will cause people to consider what they are saying. Often, people are just repeating things that other people have said, without giving any thought to the validity of the argument. These three questions may cause the person to see the weakness in their argument.

â What do you mean by that?

â How did you come to that conclusion?

â Have you ever considered?

The great thing about these questions is that they arenât limited to a adversarial situation. You might be talking to a close friend and hear them say something that doesnât sound quite right. âWhat do you mean by that?â Your child might say something like, âI donât think I should play with Jane anymore.â You might ask, âHow did you come to that conclusion?â or simply, âWhy?â

One of the things that Koukl brings out about asking questions is that you can direct the conversation without taking sides on an issue. You donât even have to be certain of what the right answer is. Perhaps, once you discover what the other person is saying and why they are saying it, you will agree with them. But when they are wrong, those questions may help them to see where they went wrong.

This is the best book on sharing your faith that Iâve read. Unlike other books that tell you what to say about the gospel, this book focuses more on the practical ways we can improve communication.
