A Gentle Answer

Our 'Secret Weapon' in an Age of Us Against Them

By: Scott Sauls

Narrated by: Mark Smeby

A remarkable vision for how Christians can live with countercultural gentleness in a perpetually angry, attacking, outraged time.

“Wow! What a great book!" -- Max Lucado

In a defensive and divided era, how can followers of Jesus reveal a better way of living, one that loves others as God loves us? How can Christians be the kind of people who are known, as Proverbs puts it, to "turn away wrath?" Scott Sauls's compelling new audiobook points the way by helping listeners:

• grow in affection for Christ, who answers our hostility with gentleness;
• nurture a renewed, softened heart in light of Christ's gentleness toward us;
• and forsake us-against-them mentalities, putting down our swords, and permeating a hostile world with gentleness.

For those who long for a more civil way of being, A Gentle Answer provides an inspiring and transformative path for countercultural gentleness in our perpetually angry, attacking, outraged time.

“An urgent book for our fractured times.”

An important book for a particularly acrimonious season

As a Christian, this book clearly lays out why we have no reason to be part of the current vitriol, and that it is our duty to demonstrate patience and kindness regardless of the spite coming our way. Well worth the time.

Fantastic!

I've listened to 3 or 4 of his books... they're all great! They're so needful! I'm thankful to have listened to his message... thank you for sharing what God put on your heart!

No weakness here just a gentle way

This book is not a weak Jesus book but instead very strong as it shows us how giving a gentle answer, in various ways, is following the ways of Jesus. In this confrontational world the author points out the value and importance of gentle answers instead of harsh ones. I’ve enjoyed it and been challenged by it.

Good author

I like the message the author has. As a Christian I know my imperfections can turn others away. Also others the same as I. The authors teachings are very enlightening 😇👍

A Timely Book for our culture

As I listened to this book, I began to realize that I was making a serious mistake by thinking that this book would really help someone else. When in actuality, I have come to realize that Everytime,I have a conversation with someone or enter into a dialogue on Social media, I need the principles outlined in this book. And everything that is talked about here is backed up by scripture.
