The True or False tract originated from an idea that I saw in an article discussing the Bible, Book of Mormon and Quran. The article was pointing out statistics that most people believe the three books say basically the same thing. With the idea for a tract to refute Islam and Mormonism all at once, I contacted Tyler McNabb, Director of Apologetics for Jeremiah Cry, to see if he would be interested in helping me with the idea. He was!
The text that Tyler came up with for the back of the tract was a perfect fit to the concept we weer going for. But also with the tie to reality TV, many people will relate to what the tract is saying.
When the tracts arrived I was anxious to hand some of them out. The first time I took them out with me, I was at the mall with a friend sharing the Gospel. We had a good discussion with the first guy we talked too. As I was handing him a tract he said, “I’m a Mormon”, so I took that tract back and handed him one of our new True or False tracts. He took it. We had a brief discussion from there about the difference of the Jesus and Heavenly Father in Mormonism than in the Bible. Please pray that he reads the tract and seeks the truth which he heard from us.
A short time later we were at the sunglasses kiosk talking with the guy who was working there. When we asked about spiritual things he said he was a Muslim. He said he did not have time to go into things much more because he was working. So I handed him True or False tract and told him he could contact me through the web site on the back and we could set up a time to talk more. Please pray that he will contact me.
It was really encouraging that the first time we took this tract out, we were able to give one to a Muslim and one to a Mormon. Both said “thank you” when we gave it to them. Since then, I’ve handed out many more of these tracts to Mormons, Muslims and others. Even if the person is not a Mormon or a Muslim, the message is still appropriate because it helps educate them that these three books are not the same.
This tract will make its way to the tract club in November 2010!
