' and 'How did you come to that conclusion?
' to gather information and clarify the other person's views.
The book also covers strategies for identifying logical flaws in arguments and handling various types of conversational challenges.
Koukl's approach is designed to help Christians confidently and winsomely initiate and navigate discussions about their faith without needing to be experts in apologetics.
