I wanted to ask which Gospel tracts you would recommend giving out to people including coworkers? I ordered a bunch of tracts from an organization that prints them for free as a ministry. However I have been uncomfortable handing out these tracts because they tend to be pushy about the eternal consequence of going to hell and use old fashioned King James English in Bible quotes. Example from one tract "The wages of sin is death" Romans 6:23 ... "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death" (from Revelation). In a Christmas tract that compares eternal life to receiving a gift, the tract says the consequences of not receiving the free gift is an eternity of suffering in hell.
I think that it is probably the truth that the eternal consequences for sin is suffering in hell forever, but I am very uncomfortable giving people that need Jesus this kind of information in a tract in a way that to me appears overly pushy. So I have been trying to find tracts that do not have information about the subject of hell, or tracts that are more tactful in how they present this warning.
Does anyone have Gospel tracts that you give to people personally that you would like to recommend?
An additional point of discussion to ask about in this thread is how can you give out tracts to people safely during the coronavirus situation? Because of the virus situation people may have matters of life and death and eternity on their minds more, but at the same time, people might be uncomfortable with people giving them tracts because they might think this could risk transfer of germs. I am thinking about maybe a wallet or container where the tracts could be kept safe from any germs in my pocket and use hand sanitizer in the person's presence before giving them the tract. I don't know if random strangers would accept that but this procedure is something I am thinking about when giving a specific coworker a Gospel tract who has been involved in some spiritual discussions with me already and who might be in need of salvation.
I also thought I would explain that the issue I am trying to resolve here is my disobedience to the Lord in failing to share the Gospel with my friends at work, so having a good tract might help me be more willing to start a conversation. In the past when I was involved in door to door evangelism with my church, the leader shared that there was criticisms of doing evangelism going on in our church. So I am not seeking advice that would discourage my efforts to share my faith, but just your recommendations about what would be a good tract to give people that is better than the ones I have that I think come across as too pushy in how they are written.
