Product Description
In The God Conversation veteran apologists and communicators J. P. Moreland and Tim Muehlhoff say that often the best way to win over others is with a good story. Stories have the ability to get behind our preconceptions and defenses. They can connect both emotionally and intellectually, appealing to the whole person rather than just to the mind. The authors offer a wealth of penetrating illustrations, examples and quotes that respond to these issues and more. In these pages they enhance the logic and evidence found in other books defending the faith, with things your friends, relatives or coworkers will ponder long after a conversation is over.

 Good discussion starter September 30, 2008
T. Miller (Hutchinson, KS)
This is a practical book that gives good pointers on how to address issues that people have with God and Christianity. It gives a lot of specifics and also has sidebars that allow you to go deeper yet. It deals with: pain in the world, disasters (which I wish they would have given better reasons), Jesus' resurrection, etc. I liked the conversational style of the book.

I'm thinking I will shop other sites before purchasing from Amazon. Turn around time is so slow, items back ordered, out of stock even when web site says item is in stock. This has happened one too many times when I order from Amazon and that has been several times.
Huge selection, poor service.

This book opens a whole new approach to witnessing and winning others to Christ. It is patterned after Jesus's and the disciple's examples of reaching people who do not want to hear a bunch of religious jargon. Thumbs up and thankyou for punctually sending it.
Wouldyou believe some of the books I ordered never got here but I paid for them just the same.

The God Conversation is an important book in apologetics and evangelism because it makes ideas-that are powerful in and of themselves, but not always immediately accessible to many people-come alive. J.P. Moreland and Tim Muehlhoff take clear thinking and compelling arguments and then attach them to memorable images and stories. This book will help you be ready to give a defense for the hope within you at the office or a family gathering that is memorable and compelling. A picture is worth a thousand words indeed.

Great Book! Taking part in a Bible Study and this book has been a tremendous help. Lots of great ideas on how to speak with someone concerning God without making them feel that you are "shoving religion" down their throats.
