His works are featured in "Chick Tracts," inexpensive [[comic book]]s designed to be left in public places and to reach out to people who might be passing by.  A major theme in his tracts are emotionally wrought portrayals of God's perfect love for his children alongside somewhat more violent images, like homosexuals writhing in agony while being burned alive in the streets of [[Sodom]] and [[Gomorrah]].<ref>http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1052/1052_01.asp</ref> Chick tracts take a Fundamentalist approach to the Bible, with an emphasis on the act of becoming saved. Also, Chick tracts emphasize that becoming saved is something that can be done at any time during one's life, whether that person is a small child or a death row inmate minutes from execution.  He is also a member of the [[King James Only]] movement, which believes in the superiority of the KJV over other English translations of the Bible.

Some recurring themes include non-Christian characters being converted at the end of the tract, Chick's belief that the Roman Catholic Church is a tool of Satan, battles over human salvation between angels and demons, arguments for evolution being presented by old, aggressive and quick to anger teachers, the use of an 'accept Christ' form at the end of tracts, and suggestions of demonic influence in even comparatively minor events such as the creation of TV series [[Bewitched (TV Show)|Bewitched]].

Some recurring themes include: non-Christian "wicked" characters being converted at the end of the tract (while more "moral" non-Christian characters reject Christ; at the end the "wicked" character enters Heaven due to his/her conversion, while the "moral" character enters Hell due to disbelief), Chick's belief that the Roman Catholic Church is a tool of Satan (no fewer than 20 tracts promote this view, along with a full-length book and a series of six full-length comics defending Alberto Rivera, a controversial and supposed former Catholic priest), battles over human salvation between angels and demons, arguments for evolution being presented by old, aggressive and quick to anger teachers, the use of an 'accept Christ' form at the end of tracts (followed by Chick's belief that one should study the Bible--the KJV, of course--to better know God), and suggestions of demonic influence in even comparatively minor events such as the creation of TV series such as [[Bewitched (TV Show)|Bewitched]].
