The dramatic and inspiring true story of a small town minister called to help inner city kids everyone else believed were beyond hope... David Wilkerson was just a young preacher in the Pennsylvania hills when he was stunned by a new calling from God: go to New York City to speak to seven young gang members on trial for murder. But something much greater was to come. Once in New York, David was inspired to stay for a lifetime of helping troubled teenagers get free of drugs and crime. With the word of God in his ears, he founded an inner-city ministry still known as the Teen Challenge to change their paths and alter thousands of lives forever. The Cross and the Switchblade is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the potential for change-an unforgettable tale that will leave you inspired, uplifted, and forever changed.

My husband owned this book many years ago, and lost it during a move. So I decided to go on a quest to find the book that he spoke SO highly of. And I found it while on Alibris! I was over the moon and ordered it the day I found it. It arrived ahead of schedule, which was an awesome surprise for my husband! And the book was brand new! I LOVE Alibris, and I will shop here often and recommend the site to all of my friends and family!

The Uncomfortable Fifties
I think this book is valuable more for what it implies about US society in the fifties than for its methodology to deal with problems. If one compares the nascent criminal landscape of the fifties, seemingly confined within the socio-economic ghettos of the times with what authorities encounter nowadays throughout society, we realize that there is no real difference. It's just a matter of degree. The good old days are merely old and their "good" exists in there being fewer casualties per hundred than there are today.

This is not a new book and not a new message. But it 's fresh and powerful and full of encouragement that any life can be changed when submitted to the Lord Jesus Christ. The fact that the author is still active and successful in this dynamic ministry attests to the validity of the message. Many lives continue to be transformed through the Teen Challenge centers all over teh U.S. To God be the glory.
