"This is one of the most exciting true stories of a hell-bent sinner "Nicky Cruse" who took over the New York subway and was facing severe court charges until David Wilkerson (whom I met and worked together once) left his comfortable life to obey God and bright the LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL, of the LOVE OF CHRIST, to this gang member and his associates.
It's sad, it's funny, and it will rock your religious socks off, and leave you with the real meaning of what SALVATION really is all about.
"This book is like my grandfather. It's full of amazing stories, but it's pretty dated and a little, well direct.
BUT...the story in insanely powerful, and God used it to speak directly to me about something very specific when I was reading it. Plus, it's jus tone of those classic things the older generation knows, and it's good to dip into their culture now and again.
"David Wilkerson takes himself into the gangs of New York to bring the young people Christianity and a better way of life during the late 1950's and early 1960's. Not sure how his techniques would work on the streets of 2009!"
"The Cross and the Switchblade tells the story of gang members in NYC in the 1970s and how they were affected by David Wilkerson's ministry. It shows how God's love can transform people's lives as many of these young adults left their lives of violence and crime to follow Christ. While Wilkerson's beliefs my be a bit too charismatic for my liking, this does not diminish my admiration for his work or this book."
