I have been working for several months on a website about the Good News Club at http://www.goodnewsclubs.info. It includes an extensive review of Good News Club's entire curriculum and "gospel" message, as well as the Good News Club's history. I also produced a Youtube Video about the Good News Club. The Good News Club materials include a torrent of invective aimed like a knife at a child's self esteem. They are told they were born sinful, and because of that, they "deserve to die" and "to go to hell." It is stunning that Good News Club has enjoyed a good standing with the evangelical community since its beginning, rather than being marginalized like Jack Chick's Chick Tracts. There isn't any difference; it's at least as bad.
