    I was 17 and totally unchurched all my life. I was an atheist in my youth. I was given a Gospel tract by a friend. It was just me, the tract.....and the Holy Spirit. I accepted Christ b/c of the Word of God presented on that very simple tract and starting going to church. I went to Christian colleges and a Seminary. I have passed out thousands of tracts over the decades.
    So answer to the question....YES they are effective.

    If I print off 1000 tracts, even knowing the vast majority will end up on the floor or in a dustbin, and only One person receives what is written, and eventually come to saving faith in Christ, then I can assure you that tracts are effective. No matter how many reject the word, if only One is saved then it is totally worth it. Being disabled I do not get out much, and I indeed feel I am not doing my duty as a christian. But in creating tracts that my Wife or my Brothers in Christ can share with others, or leave them in discrete places, then even I am doing something constructive for God's kingdom. We can not use business minded percentages when we consider salvation over the effort invested. It is not about the majority that walk away. It is always about that One aching heart that yearns for Christ but does not yet recognize its plight.

    I want to share Christ with them, but it seems that they think that I'm this "holier-than-thou" judgmental Christian (idk how much of that is my fault and how much of that is them projecting their opinion of Christianity onto me). so that makes it even harder to get through to them

      The greatest obstacle to witness is to be judgmental, you are not Christ and Christ is still the Saviour. As much as it is in your power be friendly with them. It is natural not being able to witness to them but your Christian character matters most.
      If you can't, your persistent prayer for God to arrange for their salvation is a powerful strategy.
      My prayer for you is that you will not be an obstacle through your life style

      may God give you the strength but remember that Jesus calls us to be a salt and a light in this world (Matthew 5:13-16)! So by your behavior, show them Jesus who lives within you :) When you try to talk about God with them do so with gentleness, respect and love. Ask God how and when you should share it with them. Have hope that God is with you as you do so. “The Holy Spirit will give you the words to say at the moment when you need them.” (Luke 12:12)
      And remember “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.” 1 Corinthians 3:6-8. Tho we share the Gospel only God is able to save, so don’t feel down if they don’t immediately come to Christ. But trust that God loves them and wants to save them and keep loving them as well. Stay blessed😁

On the way out, she stopped us and whispered that she'd written a note...and the connection with us was immediate!

      You are absolutely definitely right!!! Praise God. Keep giving out tracts.
      We must all be ready for the rapture, it is any day now! Jesus will snatch us away. I am ex-LGBT, and I know that I would go to hell if I continued in it. I also know that my divorced and remarried parents will die and go to hell if they don't repent and leave the adultery. For now, my Mom is a believer who goes to church and thinks that she and my Dad are going in the rapture. Her pastor is also divorced and remarried. It's a big lie from the devil that has MANY deceived.
      What does the Bible say? Loving Jesus means loving His Word. BUT from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; and they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
      Mark 10:6‭-‬12 KJV
      And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
      Luke 16:14‭-‬18 KJV
      Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
      Romans 7:1‭-‬3 KJV
      And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: but and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
      1 Corinthians 7:10‭-‬11‭, ‬39 KJV
      “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.”
      1 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬
      “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”
      Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭19‬-‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬
      This is honestly what the Bible says. The road is definitely narrow. If people want to repent from this, they have got to leave the adulterous relationship altogether and get that divorce to get out of it.
      Hoping people will get born again now, before it’s too late! Maranatha!

    Tracts also allow us to spread the gospel more widely. We can put them on the bus, train, in people's houses, in shops and many places.

Tracts can be a good foundation for other types of evangelism.

What are you going to say to those people...and most importantly, God ? Remember...Jesus healed a man from a very long illness, in other words, a miracle. The only thing the Pharisees and others cared about was that he was (wrongly) healed on the Sabbath. They didn't care at all that something good and miraculous happened to the man. Don't fall into that trap.

    I say tracts are good, and the excited baby christian can use them, However, the baby Christian needs to be nutured & should begin to read scripture, I used tracts and had some success but the baby Christian should be warned that he may encounter angry hateful atheist & perhaps a exit strategy for these people. I remember the 1st time I encountered 1 of these and it literally shook me & my faith to my core. I would say it's ok to share with friends of baby christian but cold calls or street evangelism should have a mature brother with him to take-over. I never knew people hated GOD the way this guy did and the mention of GOD and Jesus got him going, luckily I was being descipled by a church staff member or I may have folded my tent and went home in utter defeat, it did scare me and I am not so sure if he didn't have some sort of demonic influence on him. I never spoke to the guy again, nor did I want too, this guy was scary quoting genesis backwards like man created GOD in his image...you get the point. Why get so mad at a God you say doesn't exist.? I was only there to help my friend replace the clutch in his car, I know I didn't deserve the wrath I got. This was the 80's I can't imagine it's gotten any better.

      There is no best plan. Any method that works for you as an individual is best. In truth when I first found God my plan began thus... John. then all four gospels, then all the new testament, then the old testament front to back, all in my first week. Then I read the whole canon again three times in a row. lol. Now of course I can be in any number of books in any one day, dependent on the subject I am studying. If you like more of a structure though, why not try One book from the new testament, and one from the old, every single week. With One day each week dedicated to Psalms or proverbs.

      I say this respectfully and kindly....but remember this statement, "it's not about you". You can overcome your social anxiety with practice and constantly making the effort to put yourself "out there". The Great Commission and God's power is greater than your anxiety. So many of our fears are simply focused on ourselves, not God. Tracts are perfect for you. God used a tract to lead me to Christ. I was totally unchurched. Somebody had to go out of their way to give me a tract. God did the rest. Be a sower.

      Psalm 11:5 says "The Lord tests the righteous, but the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates." And then after that it says that upon the wicked He will rain coals and fire and brimstone and a burning wind will be the portion of their cup. And it continues saying that the Lord loves righteousness. So God's words towards those who are wicked are pretty severe and saying that He "hates" them shows His heart towards unrepentant sinners who love violence. Praise God for His mercy and grace towards us He has saved because none of us deserve it!

      He hate sin yes, not the individual but he hates the fact that someone would be unwilling to repent knowingly or unknowingly. You have to understand God is Holy and Pure so yeah he detest sin and can't be around it. So that's why he asks us to repent so he can cleanse us. It's not a matter of him loving us,he does and gave us his son for us.But now it's up to us to believe in his son Jesus who died for all of our sins and repent. Hope this helps love you brotha and God Bless.
