A few years ago Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman made a movie that popularized the idea of The Bucket List in which they play a couple of terminally ill patients and make a list of things to do before they die. After doing some research it seems that this is a fairly popular popular concept. Many people think about and make bucket lists. And by asking them about their bucket list, you can easily swing a conversation to the spiritual.
Betty, her daughter and I exchanged a few messages kicking around the idea of making a tract based on the Bucket List idea. We wrote up the text. I researched some popular bucket list items. Marv at One Million Tracts did the artwork. A real team effort.
The Bucket List tract has been a popular addition to our tract line up. They are easy to hand out and to strike up conversations about things in the natural. I normally will asked people “what is on your bucket list” and then follow up with “do you think you will ever do any of those things?” Then I can easily swing to “so what do you think happens when you die?”
