I found this a very difficult book to review. It has many good points: it's about evangelism, which is good.
It takes seriously 1 Peter 3.15 ('Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason...'), which is even better; proper Christian living should be so provocative that people ask us to explain. That's Peter's point, and it's Tomlin's, too ˘ a point that's usually missed by books on evangelism.
