The gospel colors are a great way to lead a child to salvation.
First used by Charles Spurgeon in 1866, the Wordless Book has become a very popular tool used all over the world to explain the plan of salvation to kids using the gospel colors.
This method of evangelism has been so effective that there are now many variations available. One example is the Salvation Bracelet.
Wordless Books are not only extremely easy to use, they are also very effective in explaining the message of salvation through Jesus Christ.
This guide is based on our version of the book that has 2 gold spreads – one at the beginning, and another at the end. Instructions on how to make this Wordless Book can be found here.

Start by showing the child the Wordless Book.
Return to the first gold spread to begin sharing the message of salvation.
(Note that the second spread should be the dark page.)
Reveal the remaining colors as your presentation proceeds.
Here are some key points to cover as you present the gospel using the Wordless Book.
You may need to tailor your gospel presentation to suit the age of your audience.

Sample Prayer
Dear Jesus, thank you for loving me. I know that I have sinned. I have done things that are wrong. I believe that you died on the cross to take the punishment for my sins. Please forgive all of my sins and make my heart clean. Please come into my life and help me turn away from doing wrong. Thank you that with a clean heart, I can have a relationship with you now and will one day be with you in heaven. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Green reminds us of things that grow, like grass, leaves and trees.
After praying for forgiveness and for Jesus to come into your life, you now have a special relationship with him.
