Customer Reviews

Excellent book on crafting persuasive minority arguments

How can Christians be peacemakers in the cancel culture that we live in? How can we present arguments that are persuasive and winsome to the world around us? These are the questions that Muehlhoff and Langer answer in this excellent read. The authors argue that the best way to be meaningful is to love our neighbor. When the opportunity presents itself to present a message, it should be done with logic, by utilizing trustworthy persona, and by awakening emotions with the audience. Practical clear examples are used to display how to craft and deliver the message. Overall, this was an excellent book and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
