Everything's An Argument with Readings by Lunsford includes forty-six pages of A Book of Conversation, an introduction to the author's methods and purposes, the difference between argumentative and non-arguable essay styles, and the general nature of debate. The introduction provides a short account of the author and his published works. There is also a short note at the end of each chapter, inviting further reading and discussion.

Part One consists of eleven chapters, each divided into three parts: Arguments, Conversations, and Topics. It is divided into three groups of themes: Intuitive Appeal, Power, and Sophistication. Each chapter focuses on a specific topic and at the end of the book offers suggestions for further reading. Part Two consists of eleven pages of discussions about topics from literature, politics, ethics, sociology, philosophy, and daily life. It is subdivided into ten topics: A Fair Case for All Ages, An Emotional Gamble, Appreciating the Good, Being Yourself, Being Part of Something, Charming personalities, Clean Breakthroughs, Consequences, Entertaining, Fables and Folklore, Fundamentalisms, Issues and Causes, Lasting Differences, Meaningful Moments, and Post-Secularism.
The book contains numerous anecdotes throughout, and Lunsford relates various conversations she has had with people all over the United States, as well as those abroad. While the majority of the book consists of dialogues, some examples are used to illustrate certain points, or illustrate how arguments can be made, supported, or rejected depending on the situation. There are eleven concluding chapters, which explore different aspects of debate and argument, such as dispute resolution, empathy, cause and effect, personal growth, and the role of faith in human history and society. Some of the chapters deal with everything from simple everyday arguments to more complicated international arguments, from the sublime to the ridiculous, from facts to fiction, and everything in between. Everything's An Ever Growing Tree is an extremely useful guide for anyone interested in debating and reasoning and will serve as a very good reference for students of all levels of experience.
