What Place Do Gospel Tracts Have in Evangelism Today?
Can gospel tracts still be helpful today? “Gospel tracts have a bad reputation, from the notorious Chick tracts to fake one-hundred-dollar bill tracts that surprise greedy souls with a five-step gospel presentation on the back.

So such tracts have no place in their bookstores or on their resource tables.”

Discover the Joy of Imperfect Creativity
“Hustle culture surrounds us. Every day, the world encourages women to turn our hobbies and creative endeavors into financial gain.

Someone who writes poetry is still a poet, even if she never publishes a poem. What makes us creative is not the world’s opinion of our art but the truth that we are all created beings.”
