Jack T. Chick was born in Boyle Heights, California, on April 13th, 1924. From early childhood, it was obvious that Jack had an ability to draw. He even failed the first grade because he was so busy drawing airplanes in battle. As he grew, Jack was constantly drawing, and honing skills that God would later use in a great way. While Jack Chick was alive, one news reporter claimed that he was likely the most widely read living author, based on nearly 900 million copies of his gospel tracts printed and distributed. The centerpiece of Jack’s 200+ gospel tract titles was, This Was Your Life, one of the most widely read gospel tracts in the history of the world. Jack went to Heaven on October 23rd, 2016, but before he died, he assembled a staff of likeminded believers who will continue the vision that God gave him.
