Weird Tract Number 34: "He Lived Life In The Fastlane Until . . ." by Dave Spurgeon

Troy Davis writes:

This seven-page pamphlet published by the Charity Baptist Church of Dayton, Ohio is the testimony of Dave Spurgeon, a Vietnam-era Army veteran who took a turn and fell in with a motorcycle gang. Dave's friend was killed by a rival motorcycle gang in a hit that was intended for him. He later got into deep doo-doo with gun and drug charges hanging over his head but he straightened out his life and found the Lord. This tract is well-written and isn't particularly weird. In fact, the only thing odd about it is the cover photo of the pre-conversion Dave looking like a roadie for The Allman Brothers Band. Not a bad read.
