The tortured face of a young killer, one of seven boys on trial for a brutal murder, started country preacher David Wilkerson on his lonely crusade to the most dangerous streets in the world. Violent gangs ruled by warlords, drug pushers and pimps held the streets of New York's ghettoes in an iron grip. It was into this world that David Wilkerson stepped, armed only with the simple message of God's love and the promise of the Holy Spirit's power. Then the miracles began to happen...The Cross and the Switchblade is one of the most inspiring and challenging true stories of all time. It has sold millions of copies throughout the world and has been made into a feature film.

    A story both frightening and inspiring.

    This is a replacement book for one I lost in a flood. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the character of the original (different cover picture and no red edging to the pages), but it has the story so I can refer to it again. Rev. David Wilkerson's work with the gangs of New York and the drug addiction associated with them is immensely inspiring - how one man from an ordinary background can make a difference in an environment which is alien to him. I first had it read to me in Bible Class (following on from Sunday School) around 1963/64 when I was 12/13. I remember hanging on every word.

  • Amazing Christian Classic Book Worth Buying Today

    Amazing Classic Christian book that I read years ago and borrowed it to a friend, who forgot to returnit. Bought it agin recently and was amazed how much of the boo k fascinated me to this day. Its about a PASTOR reaching out tol Youths who live in GANGS that fight each other. He approaches them and gets anger from most of them, but evertually he breaks through by offering his TRUST and his LOVE of Jesus Christ to everyone. He not only SAVES mant from death, but has several who freely help himto convert more to Jesus. He has several who became PASTORS to save others in New York from prison and death. I can wholeheartily recommend yoiu to buy a copy. AMEN.
