Just wondering what people think of this method of evangelizing - have you ever encountered any of those little comic-book like tracts out in public places or in phone booths?
I was thinking specifically of the giveaway tract-sized ones which are left in public areas. I've found them in phone booths and public washrooms. They don't always look like Christian-related material, in fact that may be the idea - they look like little comic books on the surface.
I don't know that it's intended as a "trick" but to attract interest in the subject for people who've never bothered with it.I never understood that, why 'trick' someone into coming to the Lord? I don't know if it's necessarily trickery, but that's what I get out of it.

As long as they are not those horrid Chick tracts.Just wondering what people think of this method of evangelizing - have you ever encountered any of those little comic-book like tracts out in public places or in phone booths?
Oh? I don't see Chick tracts because I live in Canada, my understanding is they are banned in our country.As long as they are not those horrid Chick tracts.
Those will paint us as filled with venom.
A graphic novelisation would be better.

I had to google chick tracts. I see these and similar ones all the time. They have the sinner's prayer on the back. IMO these are cowardly attempts at evangelism. It's so impersonal to leave these in the bathroom stall for someone to read. I'm all for sowing seeds, but you've got to nurture the plant you've sown after the seed is planted. Leaving a comic in the crapper doesn't accomplish this as far as I'm concerned.As long as they are not those horrid Chick tracts.
