Publisher's summary

Read by the author.

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.

Greg hits another home run.

Greg gives step by step practical guidance and logic for Christian engagement with pre-Christians and how to "tend their garden." Invaluable instructions for a conversational application of apologetics and plain reasoning in normal terms.

Must read!

If you’ve read Tactics, you know Greg”s writing is a game changer for your mind and the way you interact with people as you seek to lead them to Christ. This book is fantastic, and not Tactics redone. Very much worth your time!

The last chapter is the lynch bin of the book

God has given all of us life experiences to incorporate into our presentation of the gospel message. The art of asking questions is by far the most practical way of transmitting this gift to our brothers in creation (all have God's image) And all must come to own the salvation of God for themselves. This book is a very practical way for those of us in Christ to point those who are not to finally meet Him.

Amazing!

I didn’t think this would be better than Tactics but Koukl did not disappoint! Very practical examples (and numerous examples) for how to defend your faith through questioning techniques.
