The Digger & the Drunkard

A powerful, story-driven Gospel tract that uses real Australian history to open conversations about eternity and the hope found in Jesus Christ.

Overview

What does “eternity” really mean—and where will you spend it?

“The Digger & The Drunkard” tells the true story of two Australian men, one a war hero, the other a broken alcoholic, whose lives were marked by very different paths, yet both confronted with the same message: Eternity.

Through their stories, this tract points to the reality of eternity and the hope found in Jesus Christ, who came to forgive sins and give eternal life to all who trust in Him.
