Street Smarts: Using Questions to Answer Christianity's Toughest Challenges (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780310139133)

How to engage in productive conversations with those who challenge your Christian convictions.

Gregory Koukl's best-selling book of practical apologetics, Tactics, wrote the game plan for discussing your Christian convictions with skeptics. In this follow-up, Koukl--a leader of clear-thinking Christianity--reveals the fundamental flaws in common, current challenges to Christian beliefs and values and provides step-by-step strategies to question and reveal those shortcomings.

Street Smarts offers model questions and sample dialogues to help guide believers in persuasive conversations about hot-button issues like:

• Relativism
• The trustworthiness of Scripture
• The claims of the Gospel
• Abortion
• Marriage, sex, and gender

This book will teach you how to tackle those discussions that believers often avoid because they feel out of their element, vulnerable, or exposed. Lucid, well-organized, and easy-to-follow, Street Smarts provides a specific set of questions--the same questions Koukl uses in his own encounters--that are embedded in sample mini-dialogues that you can use to have fruitful debates with non-believers.
