Many do find it difficult to be bold in spreading the gospel, and Bible tracts do help; even if you just leave one for another to find. You never know when it comes to someone just when they need to hear The Word. Do you use them?

Yes we do in my family. My son passes out and leaves Bible tracts from CSE, my wife passes out tracts from Way of the Master Ministries. I use many different sources, I made my own up for my ministry on merchant ships. We have also made our own tracts for homeless people when we travel . You are correct. You never know when a tract will come into a lost person's life at just the right time & plant a seed that will save their soul. Sometimes we Chrsitians feel that we have not made a difference since so many scoffers scorn and rebuke our efforts at bringing people to Christ. We may be pleasently surprized when we enter into the Pearly Gates and find a group of people we helped get there waiting to thank us. but this will pale into insignificance when we hear our Lord say " Well done thou good and faitfull servant" God bless you and keep up the good work!

Don't you just love all the smart elect responses you've received for asking a simple question? I must have missed you asking for all smart elect Atheist to spew their ridiculous comments somewhere. I'd like to apologize for their rude and insensitive behavior, not all atheist are rude and insensitive, there are some good ones out there, don't judge them all by those who've answered here.
To answer your question ma'am, no I do not hand out tracks. I feel it's impersonal and cold, I also do not go around shouting about Jesus and how all sinners will burn either. If the opportunity comes to share Jesus Christ with someone then I will, but only when lead by the Holy Spirit and only when it comes up in a conversation. I love sharing Christ love for them with others but I see no need to shove it down their throats. We're merely called to plant the seed, and God will do the rest.

Rarely anymore. The ones that are out there that I have seen lack the personal touch.
Many try to say too much, and do not back up what they say...which is important when a person is seriously thinking about what they are reading.

I usually find those annoying things under the windshield wiper, they are really good for cleaning them. The ones in the public restrooms are a blessing, usually there is not enough toilet paper. The ones I find stuck to my front door, make wonderful paper to start my fireplace in the winter, and the grill in the summer.
Yes, I know I am being sarcastic, but, it would be a better place if they would quit spreading those things and used their time more christianlike and pass out sandwiches and soup to the hungry. Forget the prayer, they want food for the stomache to survive, seems God's words aren't enough to fill them up..

People like me are why many find it difficult to be bold in spreading the gospel.
I advise you to "find it difficult" too... as your kind of attitude tends to seriously annoy people like me.
Some old lady tried to "spread the gospel" to me on my way to work last week... so I accidentally-deliberately stamped on her foot in passing. If I'd had the time I would have done worse.

I dont and never would. I believe you have to earn the right to tell people about your faith. You know you have earned that right when they ASK you about it. Otherwise its viewed as pushy.
The bible says to have a ready answer for the hope that we have. To me that implies being asked a question.

Oh yes. I like to leave them in good places. In fast food places I will leave them in napkin holders, and in beer cases. I hand them out as well.
