That is one tough choice! Can you order both and get half of what you wanted?
I have heard of people getting saved with that Chick tract, but I have also heard of others talking about the million dollar one.

Well you get 50 chick tracts for 7.50 and 100 Living Waters tracts for 5.00.

Buy the BILLS! I myself, for my cousins, as well as my ministry. We need to buy some money tracts. We don't have much left. But we will be going to Florida for a outreach on July 19, so I will be buying one of the dollars the living water's offer.

I like the Chick tracts, but the money tracts would definitely grab people's attention (especially given how money driven our nation is).

I know this subject has been talked about before, but it is good to bring it up often.
I would like to urge all here to obtain and distribute Holy Bible tracts. I used to attend a Baptist Church many years ago that had one night set aside for members to go door-to-door witnessing for Christ. The Independent Baptist Church that I attend now doesn’t do that, and many people wouldn’t do that anyway.
The face-to-face style of witnessing can be daunting; however, there is one type of witnessing that isn’t face-to-face and doesn’t involve any talking at all unless you wish to, and that method is distributing tracts. I do speak to people in cars, but I just tell the person that I am handing out tracts, and people smile and even say, thank you. Well, one person scowled and refused the tract, but it didn’t bother me. At least, he got the chance to say no to God’s salvation. He was an older person, but maybe he will get another chance. On Judgment Day, he may be reminded of that missed chance unless he changes his mind.
It can be depressing after a time because Satan will whisper in your ear that handing out the tracts doesn’t do any good. Trust me, I know about this trick. He will say that no one is listening and everyone will throw away the tract. After all, we live in the real world and people can’t be bothered with any religious nut who goes around sticking tracts on the cars of people who really don’t want to be bothered with this nonsense. Satan is right, isn’t he? No. We are told to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to a perishing world. The battle in us is spiritual and must be fought on a spiritual battleground, our minds. Don’t listen to Satan who will tell you to ignore this post and will try to stop you with every step that you take to honor Christ.
I consider distributing tracts my job. What happens after that is, of course, the purview of the Holy Spirit. He is the one to convict people of their sins and bring them to God’s salvation. I distribute the tracts and don’t worry about what happens to them. I do pray for God to make use of them.
All you need do is put a few tracts in your pocket every day and put them under a wiper blade on a parked car or any place that occurs to you might be a good place for it.
Here are some places where I’ve placed tracts,
On parked cars.
In public restrooms in places like restaurants, Sims, Wal-Mart, and a car dealership.
In grocery stores.
Inside books on witchcraft in a Barnes and Nobles Bookstore. Of course, I didn’t let anyone see me do it.
In a public mall until mall security told me that I couldn’t solicit on their premises. I got quite a few tracts distributed before security tagged me. It was no big deal. They just said stop it. This incident convinced me to not distribute tracts with a label from my Church in public areas. Mall security called my pastor and he was told not to do it. He talked to me and said that maybe it would be best to ask first and maybe God would open a door. Honestly, I work under the premise that if I don’t want to know the answer, I won’t ask the question. So, I will distribute tracts with the church name only on tracts that I distribute on cars parked on the public road and in residential areas.
I haven’t done it yet, but placing tracts in books in a public library has occurred to me.
On Sunday, my wife and I will go to a conference for several days in Minnesota that perhaps two thousand people will attend. That means a lot of cars parked in parking lots. My wife is attending the conference so I will be free to distribute tracts.
Maybe later, I will find out that my efforts did bear fruit for Christ and added to His Bride. I will see later. Perhaps, you will also be pleasantly surprised about your own efforts if you work now before this door of opportunity is closed on a perishing world.
You can find tracts at http://www.fellowshiptractleague.org/tracts.htm. The tracts are free, but they take donations. It costs them $7.00 for a thousand tracts and slightly under $4.00 for shipping.

Very good reminder. I try to place some every time I go out shopping or wherever.

Good. Every reminder in a public place reminds the person who sees it that God does exist and calls to salvation.

Great post Traveling! I myself, am I tract giver. It's been a little while since I handed out tracts. But the very same, I went into Barnes and Nobles with some 1,000,000 dollar tracts, just put them around the store. As well, I've put them on the counter at a movie theater. Or in many random places. Even dropping them on the floor in front of a busy door works. People see money on the floor, they pick it up, and read it haha. God's word will never return void, that is for sure. I actually need to buy some tracts today if at all possible. My cousins and I ordered ome from the fellowshiptractleague, but they said it takes about 4-6 weeks if I'm not mistaken. So we can wait patiently. But were actually going out to Florida on the 19th of July for an outreach. It starts the 20th through the 24th. Its in Daytona, Florida. And trust me, there will be plenty of one-on-one witnessing, as well plenty of tracts being handed out. Just fulfilling my Lord's commands. Thanks again.

Thank you for handing out the tracts. I just got in my last order from Fellowship and it took under a week. You may well get them in time. I periodically order the tracts so that I won't run out.

Traveling is right about tracts,carry and leave them everywhere.They are great for introvert,s like me who dislike confrontational evangelism. Be sure you have a church name on em in case whoever reads it is serious. Be carefull doing it on the job thou,I nearly got fired for leaving a tract in an elevator w/a camera on my delivery route. Another point is when you find someone else,s tract,take the time to call the number and thank/encourage the hero for leaving it.Read that tract you find to see if it,s jw literature or worse,then pull it and place it where it belongs,in the circular file.
