In our rush to convince others that we're right and they're wrong about issues, we often run roughshod over relationships that could be vital to creating lasting change on issues about which we are passionate. <em>I Beg to Differ</em> is an excellent resource with helpful chapter summaries for easily bookmarking the many communication strategies it presents.</p>--Christine A. Scheller, Sojourners, December 2014<br><br><p>In his book, <em>I Beg to Differ</em>, Tim Muehlhoff provides an edifying foundation for navigating life's difficult conversations. Balanced with a healthy dosage of theoretical and practical insight into speech, communication and word choice, Muehlhoff peppers his book with solid scriptural support, realistic life examples and illustrations and insight from some of the leading scholars in the field of communication.</p>--Kevin Carrigan, Mennonite Brethren Herald, December 27, 2014<br><br><p>This book prepares all Christians to face many of the blunt questions that unbelievers pose to them. It's a good handbook for survival methods during evangelistic outreach work.</p>--Church Libraries, Summer 2014<br>
