This little comic booklet is known as a Chick tract. They are short evangelical gospel tracts, originally created and published by the late American publisher and religious cartoonist Jack T. Chick. Several Chick tracts have expressed controversial viewpoints. Most notably, Chick tracts express strong anti-Catholic views, as well as criticisms of other faiths, including Judaism, Islam, and Mormonism.
Chick tracts end with a suggested prayer for the reader to pray to accept Jesus Christ. In most of these tracts it is a standard sinner's prayer for salvation. In the tracts dealing with "false religions", the prayer includes a clause to reject these religions. Included with the prayer are directions for converting to Christianity, which is also repeated on the inside back panel along with steps to take should the reader convert to Christianity.
Chick publications has been designated an active hate group, and some Chick tracts have been subject to censorship and investigated for hate speech.
