I think the use of paper track booklets with the Gospel printed on them is a horrible, skewed idea that makes Christians look like distant, unrelatable people. It is not a substitute for sharing the Gospel in person. And I would have to ask why we fear man more than God, that we would let a booklet do the talking instead of putting ourselves in the hot seat. We need to show that we care enough to deliver the message in person instead of remotely. The Gospel belongs on our lips... not only on paper. Let each of us question our hearts and see that out of our love for God, shall we not share what we have that gives us hope?
Number two... Heaven isn't a place for people who are afraid of Hell. It's a place for people who love God. This booklet is written in a critical, condescending style that belittles and cracks on people who have fear and anxiety about their fate. The whole reason we "get saved" is not to save ourselves, but because we see who the real God is and we want to return His love. It's not about us!
