From cyberbullying to hate speech, workplace harassment, demonizing political language, verbal abuse, and intolerance, the vast majority of us--eighty-seven percent--no longer feel safe in public places to share our opinions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSean McDowell and Tim Muehlhoff seek to end this stalemate.\u003c\/b\u003e They believe Christians are called to be God's ambassadors, which necessarily entails the need to listen to those around us--especially people with diverse and different perspectives.
