Tracts
Three tracts have been produced by The Good Book Company for evangelistic use by churches and individuals. Priced 25p each they are:-
Always Winter but never Christmas by Tim Thornborough
Aimed at adults and older teenagers, it explores the metaphor of Narnia’s perpetual winter as a picture of our own spiritual poverty, until the King arrives.
Meet the real lion by Jenna Kavonic
An evangelistic tract for children and younger teens explores the concept of Aslan the lion, who died in the place of the rebellious Edmund, to point to the true lion of Revelation 5:5-9 who died for rebels and rose again to rule the world.
Beyond the Wardrobe by Alison Mitchell (former RBK Schools’ Christian Worker)
For children and younger teens, uses the description of Jesus in Philippians 2 to show that Aslan’s character is based on Jesus and that if we put our trust in him we can know him as rescuer, friend and king.
