David Wilkerson (1931–2011) was a renowned Christian evangelist, the founder of the addiction recovery program Teen Challenge, and the senior pastor of the nondenominational Times Square Church in New York. He wrote more than 30 books, including the bestselling The Cross and the Switchblade and Knowing God by Name.
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.
Book received is in ancient condition. First used book I've ordered for myself. Have ordered multiple used books through Amazon, for my husband. His books have always came in good condition. I read this book, back in 1974, and it changed my life. Was excited to see I could order a "used" version, to reread. Surprisingly, this IS the 1974 version (thought by the picture that it was a more current publication). While the story is still good, the condition of the book was not as I expected. Brittle, yellowed pages, that crumble as I read. The last few pages keep falling out, and I have to shove them back in to finish the book. There actually was a little "mini" calendar of 1974 stuck in the book, when I received it. It surprised me, and I felt a sense of "deja vu" when I first opened it, but the quality of the pages really aren't what I was expecting.A saga After reading an abridged version of The Cross and the Switchblade, I was eager to hear how this movement had continued. I got my answers and also the answers to some of the threads left hanging in the first book. It's basically chronicling that unfolded with the Teen Challenge movement and how Wilkerson's life went on. For me it was not so riveting as the earlier days but I came away with appreciation for the humanness of the author in all his struggles and attempts to follow the leading of his God.Excellent Book What an amazing book. I am familiar with Teen Challenge but not its history nor David Wilkerson. This book is a fascinating read. I really felt David Wilkerson did a great job of conveying the feel of 1950's inner city New York. The grime, the gangs, the drugs, all come together under the watchful Holy Spirit of God to bring hope to these amazing people who started this great organization. This book should be read by anyone, not just those who are of Faith. I couldn't put it down!
