A great testimony!,
By Jorge Barbarosa "the_bassist" (the back 9) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cross and the Switchblade (Mass Market Paperback)
Witnessing to people for many years, this book has sent a powerful message out to all who have taken the time to read it. Believe it not, this book used to be required reading in many High Schools across America. I found this book on the Washington Monument (Mall) grounds July 4th in the very late 60's or very early 70's (I can't remember exactly) after the police broke up a very large demonstration against the war in Viet Nam. The place was littered with many items left after a "hippy vs police" riot broke out, and as the police deployed tear gas and battled the demonstrators up Pennsylvania Avenue. It was an exciting day, but it also proved to be a day which my eyes were truly opened to the power of Lord... after I started to read the worn copy I had found in the mud. I couldn't put it down. This book opened the eyes of my understanding in so many ways, and started my path towards the recovery from the battlefields of southeast asia, from the struggle to survive in the brutal climate of war. From the conflicts of doing my job as a warrior, and seeing the death and destruction of lives all around me, knowing that the bullets and bombs were not enough. I was a shell of what I should have been at 25, a survivor a fighter, enduring the ravages of the human race and coming out physically capable but mentally tormented. This book started my comeback, my recovery, my search, my seeking and showed me an open door which, once I entered in, I was given my life back. I can never forget that, I can only praise God for the revelation.

The humble beginnings of a story still being written.,
By
This review is from: The Cross and the Switchblade (Mass Market Paperback)
The Cross and the Switchblade, by David Wilkerson is an amazing book. Though written decades ago, the story is still being written. God has shown one humble man how to rely on Him, and what a wonderful harvest and hope there is for His kingdom. In the millenium we now face, in which churches are dead, religion is dead, and hate is rapant as much in homes as on the streets, this reading offers solid evidence that Christ is still a great miracle worker. David Wilkerson is not a skilled writer, but the work that Christ has written in him has proved a masterpiece. To see what God is still doing in the ministry founded in The Cross and the Switchblade, visit teenchallenge.com.

Simple things can confound the wise,
By The Traveller (BC Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cross and the Switchblade (Mass Market Paperback)
If you are looking for a profound theological treatise you may want to pass on this. If you want an inspiring real life story, dig in.This is a simple true story of a country preacher who obeyed God and went way outside his comfort zone to rescue drug addicts and gang members in the streets of New York. His faith in stepping out launched a movement that is still with us today, Teen Challenge. This movement has seen an unparalled recovery rate amongst addicts. It is still based on the premise that faith in a living God can transform anyone's life. Relatively recently I spoke with a friend of mine from 1974 who was a male prostitute junkie and a mess when I first met him at Teen Challenge. He is still clean. Another friend from the same era who was an acid head (abuser of LSD) today pastors a church.
