WORD OF TRUTH RESCUE

My big brother Ralph designed and wrote a little Bible tract many years ago, the front of which you can see here(click on the picture for a better view). The relevance of the design is primarily based on his life as a fireman/EMT for 27 years. He began his career as a volunteer in a small rural community, and eventually became a paid fireman. As a Christian, he became extremely burdened for people that are dying without Jesus, and thus, condemned to a devil's hell. The key verses on the cover are from Revelation 14:11,Revelation 26:15, and John 8:32. He invisioned himself as a fireman driving the truck named Word of Truth Rescue, and shouting to the sinner going down the wrong path to hell, hopefully in time to spare him from the lake of fire. While this little tract is very dated(prior to the time of computer graphics), and to some it many seem even a little "corny"; nevertheless, it has been used by God to save many souls. It is out of print now, but I was always touched by the compassion that pours out onto its pages; compassion for lost souls who would be otherwise be eternally seperated from God.
I have attempted to duplicate it here for you, although formatting and scanning were a little bit of a problem. Check the next journal entry for the content of the tract. Ralph and his wonderful wife Rita have been married since 1958; they are both retired now, and live in their mountain retreat called "The Refuge"; a beautiful retreat for missionaries, evangelists, and pastors. It is their calling to minister to these men of God.
