It is that moment when you cross paths with someone of
different beliefs that you wish for more skill in Christian persuasion. The
goal of the book Fool’s Talk: The Art of Christian Persuasion is all about how
to do the best job when you are confronted questions about your faith. This is
the job of apologetics, to speak in support of your faith. And the author of
this book, Os Guinness, distills his forty years of experience in the field to
this very readable volume. “He sees apologetics in its noblest form—a way to
lead others to Christ.”
This is our goal as Christians, to lead others to a relationship
with Christ. But often we are confronted with questions and attacks that we don’t
know how to handle. Os Guinness challenges us to ask questions, to form
relationships, to win the war instead of the battle, and to be prepared in and
out of season to present the reason for our hope in Christ Jesus.
If you are looking for a book that will stimulate your mind
intellectually, and engage you in a thirst for evangelism, then this book if
for you. The author helps you walk away from the book with a deeper commitment
to Christ, and the courage to speak His name. From real life stories, and
snapshots of testimonies in the lives of historical figures, the author will
walk you through an understanding of how to reach the heart and elicit an
interest in God.
