In the post-Christian context, public life has become markedly more secular and private life infinitely more diverse. Yet many Christians still rely on cookie-cutter approaches to evangelism and apologetics. Most of these methods assume that people are open to, interested in, and needy for spiritual insight when increasingly most people are not. The urgent need, then, is the capacity to persuade - to make a convincing case for the Gospel to people who are not interested in it.

Excellent, yet repetitive and “accents”
Revisado: 01-14-22
I found this book excellent, but at places quite repetitive of points already made.
The reader also would have been good, but the performance was soured by many unconvincing and even corny accents of the various people from different countries who were quoted. It would have been far better for him to make the quote in his own voice and drop the theatrics!

Conquerors tells the almost forgotten story of how Portugal's navigators cracked the code of the Atlantic winds, launched the expedition of Vasco da Gama to India, and beat the Spanish to the spice kingdoms of the East - then set about creating the first long-range maritime empire.

Wonderful and horrible things I never knew
Revisado: 03-07-18
I lived in Portugal for a couple of years and yet never heard all about “The Discoveries” in this depth! This book is well written and organized—the only problem I had was that the narrator uses modified Spanish to cover for Portuguese.

The Knights Templar existed officially for less than 200 years. Founded to protect pilgrims who were travelling through the Holy Lands, their rise to power was sudden. They became some of the most feared warriors in the region, they had a mandate from God, they controlled perhaps the world's first real banking system, and they waged war against anyone who tried to wrestle Christianity and seize holy grounds from the control of the Catholic Church.

Entertaining, yet no substance
Revisado: 01-15-18
The book is interesting, but really doesn’t give any evidence. It sounds like it is simply a rework of two or three other books on the subject. The reader is very clear, yet is theatrical to the point of sounding corny.

“Oh crap!”
Revisado: 01-11-18
Although this book has some good material, it seems to be in the form of random tips and hard to remember. The worst was an unclear device to “help” you in a stressful situation —It went something like, “Oh God, O Jesus, O Buda, O Crap!” It was a bad organizer and mostly just vulgar and in poor taste!

HORRID Portuguese pronunciation-Don't Buy!!
Revisado: 02-09-17
The reader speaks wonderfully in English, but he apparently made NO effort AT ALL to learn Portuguese pronunciations of people, places, titles of books, and short phrases. Two of the worst were the famous Portuguese poet, Fernando Pessoa, and his poem Mensagem, which he butchers several hundred times. Almost NO Portuguese word was correctly uttered! Portuguese is NOT Spanish, NOR French. An AWESOME work SLAUGHTERED! I lived in Portugal for two years and was disappointed Audible has so little recited in their language. Begrudgingly I tried the English version--HUGE MISTAKE. I want my money back!!!

WOW--This is THE B E S T!
Revisado: 01-12-16
I listened to a TON of self improvement books, but this one was by FAR the most practical and insightful. The author spoke to my questions and made implementation clear. I just finished, so I haven't changed a lot yet, but the things I've started are working! THANK YOU!
