When I first became a Christian, some 33 years ago, the circumstances I found myself in were quite challenging. Having been reared in a very strict, religious system and then subsequent to that, having fallen into deep sin for many years, I came to know the LORD through the radio.
At that time, there was a wealth of solid, Christian radio programs on the air. Many of the programs were teaching ministries, with some delving into current and prophetic events. Most of those teachers are now gone and some were left by the wayside. To me, an untrained, unknowing novice, this was truly a GODsend. Because I had no home church, I studied all I could. This space of time would be foundational for my search to find the LORD's will for my life. GOD also brought many different people across my path to help me along.
As one might expect, these ministries I mention gave hard mail addresses and
offered gifts for donations. So, I started getting on mailing lists and receiving resources of different types. All along, the LORD was convicting me about my direction. It didn't take long for me to realize that resources like books, tracts and tapes(no cds or dvds at that time) would be instrumental in confirming the spiritual gifts the LORD had given me.
So, because of this search, I have become convinced that GOD uses resources, of several stripes, to accomplish HIS work, provided those resources contain scripture within the text. This section of our website is about tracts specifically, although booklets or magazines can be used as well. "....when thou comest, bring with thee...the books, but especially the parchments." 2nd Timothy 4:13b
We divide tracts and booklets into two groups: Salvation and Teaching/Specialty Issues.
Also, we have narrowed down our search for these resources to these several ministries. They are: American Tract Society, The Tract League, Fellowship Tract League and because we also do Jewish evangelism, International Board of Jewish Missions, Jews For JESUS and Friends of Israel. Further, because I have been doing this so long, I have developed many "favorite" items and still use many of them regularly.
So, I recommend that site visitors search through these various ministries, ask for samples
and begin a new portion of your walk with the LORD. However, here is what I do:
January - The Evidence of GOD --- American Tract Society
The Fool --- Chick Publications
Lastly, thanks very much for prayer and financial help this year.
