Tactics- A tactical review

Gregory Koukl has written a wonderful book on sharing Christianity through conversations. What I really enjoyed about the book was the simple, direct approach that he offers- this is no swoop-in-kamikaze evangelism, but genuine conversations with people whom you come into contact with on a daily basis.

Koukl's basic approach is the "Columbo" technique where you ask simple questions that clarify statements made by the other person in the course of conversation. He deals with a lot of the standard silly comments that people make such as "There are so many different interpretations," or "the bible was just written by men," etc.

I do have to say that this is not a casual book for the casual evangelist. You really have to want to be able to engage your neighbor. While you don't necessarily have to have a degree in apologetics, it is wise for you to study in each of the areas that Koukl explores. He does give very good references in the book so that you may follow up as you need to.

Highly Recommended
