Journey into Life is a booklet about the Christian faith by Norman Warren, ending with the "sinner's prayer".[1] It was first issued in 1964.[2]
The booklet is written in very simple English. Major publishers initially declined it as naive,[2] but according to Jubilate Group it became "the world's best-selling evangelistic booklet... with worldwide sales of 30 million."[3] It has also been translated into many other languages.[2]
Although some find its style somewhat dated now,[1] others still recommend it prominently.[4] A revised edition, also by Norman Warren, was published in 2005.[5]
Warren also wrote a follow-up tract for people starting out as a new Christian, The Way Ahead.
Chris Green, vicar of St James' Church, Muswell Hill, refers to a PhD thesis being written on the influence of Journey into Life.[6]
The tipping point in my encounter with Christ was Norman Warren's booklet Journey Into Life – it was clear, convincing and challenging and I opened the door. I think I have given away thousands since.
–J.John[7]
