<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Veteran apologist Sire offers salient counsel derived from over 50 years of experience to suggest ways to speak boldly, yet humbly, about one's faith in Christ.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Always be prepared to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and reverence. (1 Peter 3:15-16) We've all felt the tension. An opportunity to speak for Christ comes up, and either we jump in with both barrels blasting or we cower in the corner and say nothing. Is there a better way? Can we learn to speak boldly, yet humbly, about our faith in Christ? Veteran apologist Jim Sire offers salient counsel derived from over fifty years of experience in a vast array of settings. Through a variety of snapshots, both successful and unsuccessful, he helps us understand the nature, value and limits of apologetics, and suggests how to tailor our comments to respect our audience whether large or small, formal or informal. He then outlines five key arguments for the Christian faith and offers responses to five common objections. Finally, for those especially drawn to apologetics, he offers counsel on how to discern a call to apologetic ministry.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>A valuable instrument for those who desire a more effective way to express and defend the Gospel to skeptics and seekers.</p>--The Journal of Student Ministries, July-August 2007<br><br><p>Sire writes in an engaging and insightful manner, with personal experiences included which make the reading relevant and interesting.
