FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description How to engage in productive conversations with those who challenge your Christian convictions.Gregory Koukls 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:RelativismThe trustworthiness of ScriptureThe claims of the GospelAbortionMarriage, sex, and genderThis 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.

Hes spoken on over 70 university campuses and hosted his own radio talk show for 27 years defending "Christianity worth thinking about". Greg is founder and president of Stand to Reason (str.org) and serves as adjunct professor of Christian apologetics at Biola University. Review The wisdom in this book comes from a lifetime of engaging people on the street. Greg will teach you the skill of using questions in your interactions with skeptics and build your confidence to carry it out with grace and truth. * Sean McDowell, associate professor of Apologetics at Biola University, coauthor of Set Adrift *If you liked Greg Koukls earlier book, Tactics--and who didnt?--then youre going to love this new work. * Mark Mittelberg, author of Contagious Faith and Confident Faith, and Executive Director of the Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics at Colorado Christian University *Koukls crisp, clear, and careful writing style made it an absolute joy to read.

Warner Wallace, "Dateline" featured Cold-Case Detective, and author of Person of Interest and The Truth about True Crime *Do you fear conversations about Christianity and biblical morality? In a world that has never been more polarized and divided, Street Smarts is the perfect resource for this cultural moment. * Alisa Childers, author of Another Gospel and Live Your Truth—and Other Lies *Many Christians know what they believe about these controversial cultural issues but not why and are left stumped, steaming, or silent. Greg helps us engage these topics with clarity and compassion and to apply the right tactics to the tough conversations. * John Stonestreet, President of the Colson Center and host of BreakPoint *Street Smarts puts one of the sharpest Christian apologists in the country in your back pocket.
