Relational Apologetics: Defending The Christian Faith With Holiness, Respect, And Truth
How do you know that there is a God? How do you answer someone who says that truth doesn’t exist? What do you do when someone asks you how you know that Christianity is the right religion? If you are like many people, the only answer you can offer is, “Well... I just have faith.” But to a world that wants to know if God is real, this is not a good enough answer. Christians must be ready to give a reason, a good reason, for their hope in Jesus, and their lives must be a holy reflection of their message.
In Relational Apologetics, Michael C. Sherrard seeks to help Christians do just that: become holy people that defend Christianity both in word and deed. Using stories and drawing upon personal experiences, Sherrard teaches the importance of personal holiness, treating skeptics with respect, engaging in authentic conversations instead of shouting matches, and having well thought out answers to the skeptic's questions. In the process, you’ll learn that defending Christianity is as much about who you are and what you do as it is what you say. And you will find that your life is intended to be an apologetic for God and a light for men to find Him

Excellent book to inspire Christians to go deeper into Apologetics.

If the expression is a "breath" of fresh air, consider this book a deep inhale. So refreshingly well written, wonderfully researched, and sensitive to the fact that people are human, imperfect, and we must respect that as we present the gospel to their skepticism. I find myself better-equipped to address doubt from unbelievers.
A quick read (could finish in one sitting if you really wanted to), but is chalked full of so much truth, and great advice that I didn't mind it's less than average page count for other books in it's category. A book I will definitely read again.

More than a book. An easy-to-use manual for Christian Apologetics. Handy for rookie apologists (like me).
