There's nothing ordinary about our Gospels. You may have seen, or even used, tracts and other kinds of publications to share your faith. Perhaps you've used Gospels from other sources. If so, you might be asking yourself what makes our products different.

Why are the Gospels from The Pocket Testament League so effective? There are a number of reasons, the result of many small details that work together to make our tools work so well for you.

Innovative cover designs

Our Gospels are produced in a variety of cover designs to meet different needs you may encounter. If you go to a sporting event, you can bring a sports-oriented cover with you. If you visit a NASCAR race, you can take our motorsports cover to share with someone you meet. Women respond well to our "Perfect Love" cover, so take that with you if you're on your way to a bridal shower. Young people find our "Stories that Count" cover especially meaningful. New covers are constantly being considered.

And they aren't just ordinary, run-of-the-mill covers. We put a great deal of time and energy into selecting the right images and designing our covers to meet the needs of the intended audience. In some cases, we'll even use focus groups or surveys to get feedback on cover design choices to see how audiences react to them. We'll ask people to tell us which cover is the design they would most be inspired to give to someone, and we'll ask which cover people are most compelled to read if they were to receive it from a stranger.

The complete Gospel of John

No words of man can be as effective for evangelism as the Word of God. In addition to cover designs, we also have the entire book of John, in different translations of the Bible. Choose from the traditional text of the King James, the easy-to-read translation of the New International Version, the up-to-date clarity of the New Living Translation, or our Spanish translation. Each one is issued in covers that reflect different interests of the anticipated audiences. When you give someone a Gospel with a cover design related to a personal interest of theirs, it creates a strong desire to open the book and see what's inside, providing an even greater opportunity for people to discover the wonderful message of God's grace.

Key verses related to new life in Christ are marked in bolder text so they stand out clearly. This also helps our members find those verses and point them out in one-to-one sharing discussions.

Plan of Salvation and Decision page

Along with the text of the book of John, our Gospels include a comprehensive Plan of Salvation. This is an entire section describing with diagrams and Scripture verses the essence of a salvation decision. We provide a suggested prayer, and steps the new believer should take following a decision for Christ.

Our Gospels even feature a "Decision" page on which those who have made a decision for Christ can record the information as a reminder of their decision. The interactive process of filling in the details helps to make the decision more complete and creates greater conviction to live for Christ.

Follow-Up Opportunities

One of the most important aspects of effective evangelism is to provide a way for new believers in Jesus Christ to follow up on their decision, so that they can grow in their faith. We offer a free four-part written correspondence course to accomplish that. A form is included in our Gospels to sign up for the free course, or people can sign up online.

We also provide a special feedback form for people who have accepted Christ using one of our Gospels. When completed, these people get an E-mail with more follow-up information to take their faith in Christ to the next level.

Sharing your newfound faith is also a vital part of your commitment as a Christian, and what could be more natural than joining The Pocket Testament League and begin giving away the very Gospels that led to your own salvation decision? As members, new Christians can take advantage of our daily Pocket Devotions messages that walk through Scripture verse by verse to build a deeper understanding of the value of God's Word. Our powerful Evangelism Boot Camp program is designed to help teach Christians how to share their faith.
