Philip Yancey in the latest Christianity Today, points out that C.S. Lewis said Christians must make a distinction between communicating the good news of Jesus to those who hear for the first time, and those who have embraced and then rejected the good news.
"A person must court a virgin differently than a divorcee, said Lewis. One welcomes the charming words; the other needs a demonstration of love to overcome inbuilt skepticism."

I so enjoy CS Lewis, he is so full of insightful little tidbits like that.
