In a world where young people are searching for truth, The Life Book has become a powerful tool for students to share the Gospel with their peers. Since 2010, Gideons have introduced this resource to pastors and youth leaders, and the response has been tremendous. More than four million
student missionaries have shared over 55 million Life Books—placing the hope of Christ directly into the hands of the next generation.
Asking for More
The impact of The Life Book is clear. Students aren’t just receiving these books, they’re actively sharing them.
Harry, a pastor in Kentucky, was hesitant at first, wondering if his students would hand them out. But, after giving them a small batch, he was amazed. “They actually asked for more, and a few wanted hundreds more because they knew some classmates might be interested.” Richard, a youth leader in Mississippi, started with 400 Life Books. They were gone in less than a week. “I ordered 300 more, and those disappeared just as fast,” he shared. “One of our senior youth and his sister asked for enough to give to the whole student body. That’s why I’m ordering 1,000 more.” A youth group in Indiana took time to study The Life Book before distributing it, and the students immediately connected with the handwritten-style notes and questions inside. Their youth leader shared, “My small youth group ordered just 100 Life Books. After two weeks, my students were begging for more!”
