'''The Assignment''' is a religious tract written by [[Jack Chick]]. It was originally printed in 2004, and remains an in-stock title. It is listed on their website under the subject "Basic Gospel" and also tagged as "Spiritual Warfare".
The tract tells of the upcoming death of Charles Bishop, a non-Christian, on November 22 at 3:10 AM of a massive coronary. Both the angels and demons are planning their strategy. Two people have the possibility to reach Bishop before his death: Tim Dobbs, his assistant (who is a very weak Christian), and Cathy Hillman (a friend of Bishop's daughter, and who is a very strong Christian).

Both the angels and demons are planning their strategy. Two people have the possibility to reach Bishop before his death: Tim Dobbs, his assistant (who is a very weak Christian), and Cathy Hillman (a friend of Bishop's daughter, and who is a very strong Christian).
Dobbs is quickly removed from the picture, being intimidated by his wife. Cathy is distracted temporarily by a fellow male student, but the student quickly shows his true nature.

The final scene shows Bishop dying, with the demons remarking "it was a close call -- but '''''we''''' got him!"
