The Search

A longer tract (47 pages) which explains the gospel using a modern Japanese parable of a young man on a journey trying to find his own way through life. Using illustrations and examples relevant in a Japanese context, the text is vividly illustrated with manga cartoons. Divided into four sections - God's Love, Our Condition, God's Response and Our Response - the booklet traces how the main character learns about sin, how it separates us from God and how God sent Jesus to reconcile us to him and to be with us always. It ends with the young man realising that true freedom lies in choosing to open your heart to God. He asks God into his life and continues his journey happily with Jesus by his side. The tract concludes with a prayer that could be used to ask God into your life. Vivid and relevant, this is an excellent publication for students and young people and could also appeal to older adults.
