At the Amsterdam50 worship gathering this past weekend, Bob Phillips referred to an old pamphlet from the early 1970s, which described life as a school which is meant to teach us about God.  On the one level, this pamphlet -- and let's be honest, the concept of a gospel tract in general -- can be pretty outdated, cheesy, and for some possibly even counter-productive to the message of Jesus.  But with this particular explanation of the "School of Life," I found a special sense of resonance.  To me, it seemed more witty than cheesy -- more clever than contrived.  And in the end, I think it gives a beautiful explanation of the life of faith.

So I asked Bob if he could send me an electronic version of the pamphlet -- originally developed by an organization called Jews for Jesus -- and he directed me to their website, where I was able to download a copy that I've adapted to share here.  Take a look below for the explanation of the School of Life...

So what do you think about this explanation of the life of faith?  Is it cheesy, or is it cool?  Does it resonate with you or not?  I'd be curious to hear what others might think of something like this...
