The Wordless Book
I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior at age 6 via the Wordless Book.
My mother had a doctor’s appointment one morning and was unable to take me with her. She put me in the care of her good friend, Pearl.
Pearl was a wonderful Christian woman. She loved the Lord.
After my mother left for her appointment, Pearl asked me if I would like to hear a story. Naturally I said yes, for entertainment and for much craved attention!
She showed me a “wordless” book with different colored pages.
“GOLD is for Heaven and God wants us all to go there but…” as she turned to the black page, “we can’t because of our BLACK sins. Turning to the red page she stated, “RED is for the blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross for us”. She then turned to the white page and continued with the story, “and when we ask Jesus to forgive our sins and come into our hearts as Lord and Savior, our BLACK sins are turned WHITE as snow.
She turned back to the gold page and continued on, “When we die we can go to Heaven (GOLD)” and closing the pages, she showed me the cover and said “the color GREEN is for all growing things and we can GROW in the Lord.”
I accepted the Lord as my Savior right after the plan of salvation was presented to me using The Wordless Book.
Over 50 years later, these booklets are still in print and are available at any Gospel or Christian supply store or they can be purchased directly from Child Evangelism Fellowship®.
