The Christian Life Card is a personal work tract written by Reuben Archer Torrey. Its first publication date is unknown, and it had at least three publishers. A version of it is reprinted in Traits and Tracts of Torrey.

As early as 1893's How To Bring Men to Christ, Torrey was recommending that after a worker leads someone to Christ, he should "be sure to give him definite instructions as to how to succeed in the Christian life." Torrey notes, "It would be well to give these instructions in some permanent form to the one whom you have led to Christ. You can write them out or get a little tract called "The Christian Life Card" published by Jno. C. Collins, Bureau of Supplies, New Haven, Conn. This contains them and some other matter." (p. 102)

By 1901's How to Work for Christ (in the chapter Some Hints and Suggestions for Personal Work), Torrey is still recommending "definite instructions" in "some permanent form," and now adds that he is the author of such materials: "For this purpose two tracts have been written by the author of this book, one called "The Christian Life Card," and the other "How to Make a Success of the Christian Life." Either of these can be secured from the Bible Institute Colportage Association, Chicago."

A version of the Christian Life Card published by the Bible Institute of Los Angeles is reprinted with original pagination in Traits and Tracts of Torrey. It was a 5-page booklet, apparently about 3 inches by 5 inches, available for 15 cents per dozen, $1.00 per 100.
