What is a Wordless Book?
The Wordless Book is a tool to help you share the Good News of Jesus Christ! Famous London preacher Charles Spurgeon was first known to use it in a message to hundreds of orphans in 1866.

Where can it be used?
The Wordless Book can be used anywhere. Its size allows it to be easily transported. It is inexpensive, so it can be left behind. It is a gift that will remind your listeners of the Gospel truth.
When is the right time to present it?
The Wordless Book can be used in many different circumstances. Large groups, small groups, and one-on-one situations are just a few examples of its usefulness.
