The Reason Why, a gospel booklet written in 1913 by Robert Laidlaw, a New Zealand businessman, 50 years later had reached a worldwide circulation of 16 million copies in 30 languages. Thousands of letters poured into his office from around the world, letters like: “Have read your booklet. Your booklet has given me rebirth. As a result of the war I lost my left arm and my right hand is crippled. Am a refugee from the East and have no parents or relatives so my only hope is in the Lord Jesus Christ my Savior. —E.K.” Or this: “I have been reading The Reason Why which has been lent to me, and have just accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, after 26 years of church membership and nine years as deacon and officer. It has taken a long time, and I’ve been under conviction for a long time, but now it’s done: ‘I am my Lord’s and He is mine!’ —B. R.” Good tracts, graciously given and well prayed over, continue to be used by the Lord in conviction and salvation.
