Q: What’s behind the name, “Gospel Tract Society?”
A: While the name sounds old fashioned, it is — but at the same time, we haven’t been able to improve on it. Gospel means “good news.” It is the message of Jesus’ birth and death that is our only hope of getting out of this thing alive. A tract is like a “tract” of land, it is a portion or parcel of the whole message, and Society represents a group of people who share the same belief, calling or purpose. Thus, GTS is a group of people surrendered to the mission of sharing Hope, by the printing and distribution of portions of Biblical Teachings.

Q: Can I order your tracts online? I am searching for a catalog of everything you have available but can’t find one.
A: You’re right—we don’t have a complete list because there are so many (over 800). Sometimes we reprint “old” tracts as their subject matter becomes “new” again. Other tracts are retired over time as supporters’ interest in them may diminish or be replaced by newer titles. We categorize them differently as they apply to different subjects, and try to prayerfully customize orders when people request different titles. So we have found sample packs to be most effective.

Q: What do your tracts cost?
A: Like Salvation which is free for the asking, but came to us with a terrific cost. We provide tracts without charge, as we have since 1926, but the cost of keeping a printing plant and distribution facility is staggering. Many businesses charge for tracts, but as a non-profit ministry, we are unable to charge, so we continue to trust God for His provision — He has not failed us yet.
