We worked with Seedline to distribute over 250,000 copies of John and Romans
in New York City. They went like hotcakes at a lumberjack convention on
9/11.
Of course, the glossy cover with a picture of the WTC and the text 'In Loving
Memory to Those WHo Lost Their Lives' was the magnet -- but nobody threw them
down. Many read them. Many of those asked questions about the Gospel. Some
were converted. Only a handful rejected them out-of-hand.
I have a jpg of the cover if anyone is interested, once I find it (if I can
find it).
The lesson is similar to the one Jesus taught Peter: you have to know the
right side to throw out the net.
