I used to carry around the "Mystery of human life" for the unbelievers, and the "Rainbow booklets" (pastel-colored adaptations of Lee's NT messages) for the believers. Compared to the "Chick Cartoon Tracts" I thought I was doing quite well.

Eventually I realized that everybody has something to say. And I also realilzed that when I began to listen to the unbelievers, I noticed that they began to pay more attention to me, as well. Then, whatever word was in my heart came out, and could be just as living (gasp!) as Lee's carefully polished messages.
