2012 tract

The tract has a high degree of presentation. The font is a very good choice in my opinion. Your thoughtfulness in seeking provocation with the cover will no doubt spur the person with the tract to read on and they will find a very clear presentation of the gospel and call to trust Christ. Well done.

What will you do with the left overs in 2013?

The Word of God is a “left over”?

I guess if the world does not end in 2012 you can stamp “Told you so” on the back?

The tract has a clear presentation of the gospel and call to believe on Christ. As to the targeted audience, though its design appeals to a contemporary event, its message, again, is never “left over”. This is no different than a message from the pulpit that deals with a contemporary context and a biblical response.

You can modify this tract to say 2011 or May 21, 2011 which is the Harold Camping rapture/end of the world as we know it day and give it out to piggy back on their advertising. Good gospel presentation.

May God bless your labor in evangelism.

Oh, the evils of hoop skirts! Maybe I’ll preach against them this Sunday? I’ll use the same text as our Brothers did two hundred years ago. It will be spot on!

Near the end, “Bibles amazing prophecies” should be “Bible’s amazing prophecies.”

Ellipses (…) are never needed at the beginning or end of a quote. Twice you place them at the beginning of a quote.

Before your first quote, there should be a comma after “The Bible says”

Also, references should go after the closing quotation marks but before the period. So, “shall be burned up” (2 Peter 3:10).

About two-thirds of the way down, after “Two thousand years ago” there is a period. There should be a comma.

Yeah, thanks for the ellipsis information. But I do have a follow-up question, are they acceptable at the beginning of a quote in order to convey to the reader that you are not attempting to take the quote out of context since some quotes can be used with the accusation by some that the quoted material has been used without acknowledgment to a greater context? I suppose I could Google this.

[Alex Guggenheim] Yeah, thanks for the ellipsis information.

Generally speaking, no. It is understood that all quotes are partial, and it is the reader’s responsibility to be aware of that fact. In a few fields that require close textual analysis, such as poetry, where the number of syllables and the arrangement of words on the page matters, they allow beginning and end ellipses.

Thanks. I did find some material online to re-familiarize myself with the standard use of ellipses.
