Jack Chick is getting slammed for the conspiracy stuff in his tracts, but a lot of his work is very powerful, especially the ones calling people out of drugs, or out of sin and into repentance. His prodigal son tract brought tears to my eyes. Great stuff! And, yes, “pure Americana.”
If a tract stays out of the tinfoil areas, it does better, that is agreed.
Well said. His basic Gospel tracts were solid.
He used 23 frames to get the basic message across. He was not teaching deep theology.
We can't know how many people turned to Jesus as a direct result of Jack Chick's tracts but I'll bet the number is huge...I don't believe I have met another Christian who as a young person did not happen to read a Jack Chick tract before becoming a Christian...No doubt Chick was planting the seeds that lead to salvation...
