“How Do We Talk with Skeptics?”
“Sam Chan is a compass for our complex times, guiding Christians through the culturally-fraught waters of commending Christ to others. The practical wisdom packed into this contribution is indispensable for anyone serious about having better God conversations.”
“The best thing about Sam's book How Do We Talk with Skeptics? is not just that it's practical, but it’s realistic. Sam anticipates the challenges we will face and shares ten tips to help us overcome them. As you read Sam’s tips you will find yourself thinking ‘yes—I was wondering how to do that.’ As an evangelism trainer, I recommend Sam's tips to others. As a Christian who wants to talk about Jesus with my skeptical friends, I put them into practice.”
“This is seriously awesome! I've read a lot of books on evangelism, and Sam Chan's insight into the culture and the way forward in conversations is profound. What a blessing you are to us all. This is not to be put on the pile of books to be read ‘sometime,’ but this is one to be read tonight.”
“Sam’s brilliance is in taking the ordinary situations that we might never have otherwise analysed, and he unpacks them, exposing the underlying dynamic. He takes us behind the scenes and points out the workings backstage with clarity. He offers such great observations about culture today and what is going on in our interactions with unbelievers and in doing so gives us the tools to understand the art of conversation and begin to share Jesus in a natural way. This book is filled with so many ah-ha moments!”
“This generation of Christians inhabit cultures that sometimes reject not only biblical revelation about reality, but also the reality of reality itself. The “Questions for Restless Minds” series poses many of the toughest questions faced by young Christians to some of the world’s foremost Christian thinkers and leaders.”
“If you’re hungry to go deeper in your faith, wrestle with hard questions, and are dissatisfied with the shallow content on your social media newsfeed, you’ll really appreciate this series of thoughtful deep dives on critically important topics like faith, the Bible, friendship, sexuality, philosophy, and more. As you engage with some world-class Christian scholars, you’ll be encouraged, equipped, challenged, and above all invited to love God more with your heart, soul, mind, and strength.”
“We have written short books pitched at undergraduates who want arguments that are accessible and stimulating, but invariably courteous. The material is comprehensive enough that it has become an important resource for pastors and other campus leaders who devote their energies to work with students. Each essay ends with a brief annotated bibliography, intended for readers who want to probe a little further.”
