Praise for Mel Stein:

How do you share the gospel with those
who don't think they need it?

Someone you know is a Mormon—a family member, a coworker, a friend, or a neighbor—and you long to present the truth about Jesus and what God's Word teaches. But where do you start? How can you convey what's on your heart in a way that will be well received?

Every relationship and situation is unique, and that's why these essays from respected scholars, apologists, and pastors—including Sandra Tanner, Robert Bowman, David Geisler, Bill McKeever, Mark Mittelberg, J. Warner Wallace, Lynn Wilder, and others—lays out a variety of creative methods for sharing the gospel effectively so you can...

• initiate authentic conversations
• respond with compassion and clarity to Mormon teachings
• understand your Mormon friends and find ways to keep the dialogue going

Speaking the truth to Mormons can feel daunting when you're unprepared. Let the suggestions in this book give you solid ideas for reaching those who are lost but don't realize it.

A New Kind of Apologist, edited by Sean McDowell and with contributions from more than 20 leading apologists, is the go-to resource for effectively defending the Christian faith in our changing culture. In it you'll discover:

• important topics often ignored by apologists, such as transgender issues, religious freedom, and the intersection of economics and apologetics
• a new kind of apologetics that is relational, gracious, and holistic
• interviews with both seasoned apologists and skeptics, providing insights into how to do apologetics effectively in today's culture

A New Kind of Apologist addresses the latest issues, including

• "Connecting Apologetics to the Heart"
• "Teaching Apologetics to the Next Generation"
• "Apologetics in our Sexually Broken Culture"
• "Apologetics and Islam"
• "Apologetics and Religious Freedom"

and adopts fresh strategies for reaching those who are outside the church with the truth of the gospel.

Like the acclaimed Apologetics Study Bible that has sold 115,000+ copies, the Apologetics Study Bible for Students will anchor younger Christians in the truths of Scripture by equipping them with thoughtful and practical responses for whenever the core issues of their faith and life are challenged.

Multiple research studies have shown that spiritual focus often weakens among teenagers as they head into the attention-dividing realm of young adulthood. Up to 66% of them leave church altogether. The Apologetics Study Bible for Students works against that trend by helping this audience begin to better articulate its beliefs. In addition to the complete HCSB text and dozens of articles collected from today’s most popular youth leaders, including general editor Sean McDowell, this new study Bible also includes:

• Two-color design-intensive layout on every page for the visual generation

• Sixty “Twisted Scriptures” explanations

• Fifty “Bones & Dirt” entries (archaeology meets apologetics)

• Fifty “Notable Quotes”

• Twenty-five “Tactics” against common anti-Christian arguments

• Twenty “Personal Stories” of how God has worked in real lives

• Twenty “Top Five” lists to help remember key apologetics topics
