Weird Tract Number 58: "How Big is God?" by Oral Roberts

Troy Davis writes:

I previously wrote about Oral Roberts and his self-serving "seed-faith" theology when discussing the museum's booklet by Roberts on the subject. This three-page ho-hum tract by Roberts is mentioned only because of its great cover graphics. It can be summed up with the following shopworn platitudes: 1) God is the source of all power; 2) God is bigger than your afflictions and problems (this is a key component of Roberts' supercilious "health-and-wealth" gospel); 3) Roberts wants the reader to embrace a "bigger God."

Note: Roberts' first name has been the subject of a number of juvenile jokes; here are some Oral Roberts jokes by professional comedians.
