Beyond Arguments: A Better Way to Talk About Jesus

How do you talk about Jesus with someone you love when they no longer believe—or are not sure they ever did?

In Sage Hope, pastor and author Zack Eswine offers a refreshing alternative to arguments, debates, and quick answers. Drawing deeply from the Bible’s wisdom tradition, he shows how Christians can engage doubters with patience, humility, gentleness, and genuine love. Rather than merely winning arguments, Eswine helps readers learn how to listen well, ask thoughtful questions, understand the stories behind people’s doubts, and faithfully point them to Christ.

Filled with personal stories, biblical insight, and practical guidance, Sage Hope equips readers to navigate difficult conversations with family members, friends, children, neighbours, and anyone wrestling with faith. It is a book for those who long to speak the truth about Jesus without sacrificing compassion or wisdom.

In this book, you will discover how to:

• Engage questions and doubts with biblical wisdom rather than fear.
• Listen carefully and uncover the deeper concerns behind objections.
• Reflect Christ’s gentleness, patience, and steadfast love.
• Avoid common mistakes that damage relationships and hinder gospel witness.
• Grow in confidence as you share the hope of Christ with others.

For anyone seeking a wiser way to talk about Jesus, Sage Hope offers practical help and enduring hope.
