KÄSIKIRJA KESKUSTELUUN KRISTILLISESTÄ VAKAUMUKSESTATaktinen viisaus on perusteos kristillisestä uskosta keskusteluun. Kirja tarjoaa pelisuunnitelman kristinuskon vakuuttavan totuuden välittämiseen rohkeasti ja kohteliaasti. Taktisen viisauden (alkup. Tactics) 10-vuotisjuhlapainoksessa Gregory Koukl näyttää, kuinka keskustelutilanteet otetaan haltuun ja kuinka niitä harkitun tahdikkuuden avulla ohjataan rakentavasti eteenpäin. Opit, miten haastajien hyökkäykset pysäytetään ja miten kysymykset tai provosoivat väitteet käännetään viemään keskustelua toivottuun suuntaan. Ennen muuta opit, kuinka toiset voi saada pohtimaan Jeesusta.”Nykyään vastakkainasettelu eri mieltä olevien välillä korostuu voimakkaasti ja siksi taktiikan taju, kuunteleminen ja kuultuun reagoiminen, on keskusteluissa arvokas pääoma. Ilman sitä kristityn on helppo joko vaieta kokonaan tai näyttää jääräpäiseltä rähjääjältä, eikä meillä oikein ole varaa kumpaankaan”, kirjoittaa kirjan kääntänyt J.J. Aleksi Markkanen suomentajan esipuheessa.Kirjasta sanottua:”Olisinpa tuntenut nämä taktiikat kaksi vuosikymmentä sitten. En oikeastaan ole koskaan nähnyt tämän parempia keinoja auttaa kristittyjä olemaan vaikuttavampia Kristuksen lähettiläitä.” FRANK TUREK”Taktinen viisaus on paitsi välttämätöntä luettavaa, myös riemastuttavan viihdyttävä kirja. Eihän sitä malta laskea käsistään!” GARY R. HABERMAS”Suosittelen innolla Taktista viisautta. Se mullistaa ei-kristittyjen kanssa käydyt keskustelut.” SEAN MCDOWELLKirjoittaja Greg Koukl on sekä apologian että filosofian maisteri. Hän on puhunut yli 80 yliopistokampuksella ja isännöinyt yli 30 vuoden ajan radiossa keskusteluohjelmaansa, joka puolustaa ajattelemisen arvoista kristinuskoa. Greg on Stand to Reason -järjestön perustaja ja puheenjohtaja ja lisäksi hän toimii Biola Universityn kristillisen apologetiikan dosenttina.
