We ordered this leaflet for our church at Easter and have been using it ever since. It's strenghs are it uses scripture (the account of the crucifixion in Mark's Gospel). Then it explains the key points (the darkness, the cry, the curtain in the temple being torn and the Roman commanders reaction) in a quick and simple way. It ends with a challenge and then simply lays out what it means to become a Christian. The cover design is simple and atractive and the back allows plenty of room for a contact address or number. It is ideal as a leaflet to be given away when doing door-to-door evangelism or to be put on display for people to take at a back of a church.

Disappointing that so much evangelistic material today, like this tract, talk about sin as primarily spoiling our lives and hurting other people and separating us from God, so we cannot be God's friend. This is all me-centred - but sin is against God, it is high treason against the God of the universe - it is utterly awful. The true character of sin must be clear if true repentance is going to follow - real hatred of sin and a desparation to be rid of it. The idea of sin being a 'problem that needs solving' is not helpful - if someone had murdered my wife, I would not talk about this offence as a problem that had come between me and the murderer.

Can we be bolder in our tract writing?
