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. Review: Awesome book! Great for teens as well as old people. - I loved this book when I read it as a pre-teen and ordered it for my grandson. I wanted to look it over (without breaking the binding) to make sure it was the same book, but I couldn't put it down! I still love it 50ish years later! So now I either have to buy another one for my grandson, or give it to him as a hand-me-down, instead of a wrapped gift! This true story is engaging because it elicits a range of feelings: Suspense, curiosity, compassion, sadness & joy (I got a little teary a few times) amazement, and the wonder of God. Review: Awesome and Encouraging Account - This book gives an awesome and well-written account about the faithfulness of God. I love that it is a true story and that there are people alive today to testify to the power of the Holy Spirit’s transformation of their lives. I have never cried so much reading a book. The fact that Teen Challenge and Times Square Church are both still around and thriving reinforces the importance of this work. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #16,234 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #57 in Religious Leader Biographies #120 in Inspirational Spirituality (Books) #253 in Christian Inspirational | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 3,530 Reviews | ## Images ![The Cross and the Switchblade - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71h8GGZkY7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome book!
