Product Description

Review

'A book to stop you in your tracks.'―Liverpool Daily Post

Truly inspiring ... a wonderful book.―Nicky Gumbel, Holy Trinity Brompton

Jackie Pullinger has helped to turn a city around and has saved lives, all because of the compassion that she's received from Jesus. She is clear and straight up in the way that only someone who is actually doing what she says can be.―Mike Pilavachi, Soul Survivor

'One of the most dramatic Christian autobiographies ever published'―Church of England Newspaper

'Anyone less likely to go tripping into the vice dens of the notorious Walled City could not be found. Maybe her ignorance saved her ... or her courage.'―Daily Mail --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

About the Author

Jackie Pullinger has been founder and director of St. Stephen's Society, Hong Kong, since 1966. Though the society began and continues to grow in Hong Kong, it also serves in countries surrounding Hong Kong, as well as the Philippines and Thailand. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat story.
By David Marshall on Feb. 17 2000
Format: Paperback
Chasing the Dragon is well-written and fast-paced, and offers a little of everything: cops, robbers, farce, trajedy, an argument or two, and most of all, lives changed by the Gospel. Jackie has led a remarkable life, but wears her experience lightly, with a sense of humor. Having lived in Hong Kong, visited her church and known people who worked with her or become Christians through her ministry, the book was especially interesting to me.
I once traveled around Asia to do research on forced prostitution and AIDs. I hope others will follow her example, in the leading of the Holy Spirit, because there is a great need. In my opinion, this kind of ministry may be one of the key cross-cultural evangelistic outreaches of our time, and this book would be valuable to anyone trying to understand either the past or the future of missions. Many of the most successful Asian evangelists I have met were once drug addicts or criminals. This book might also be a good book to give to a non-Christian friend or to a Christian police officer who has become cynical and forgotten how God can change lives.
One caution: I think readers should beware of a "one-size-fits-all" attempts to emulate the exact ways in which God's spirit works in other peoples' ministries. Jesus should be the pattern for all of us. But like he said, "The fields are ripe to the harvest. Pray the Lord of the Harvest to send out workers."

5.0 out of 5 starsJesus the Dragon Slayer
By Meg Perkins on Nov. 26 1999
Format: Paperback
This is an amazing book. Jackie describes how she lives purely by faith, not supported by any missionary society or church, and works fulltime amongst the poorest of the poor and the most wicked of the wicked in the ancient Walled City of Hong Kong. Jackie's ministry is to the drug addicts who "chase the dragon" and the Holy Spirit comes with power and healing to rescue them. Jesus is the Dragon Slayer!
I am a Christian Psychologist and I have recently applied to work as a Prison Chaplain. I think God directed me to read this book so that I would know that the Holy Spirit is wanting to help the drug addicts in Australian prisons too.

5.0 out of 5 starsGod's Grace Poured into a Willing Vessel
By A Customer on July 27 2000
Format: Paperback
I read "Chasing the Dragon" about 16 years ago and then I went . I saw first hand the spirit of the contents of this book and what was written between the lines. It is about having "hard feet and a soft heart" that is what Jackie always says. It is a wonderful story of a place of concentrated darkness and in that 6 acre place more people's lives were touched with God's love and grace, more lives changed and brought to Him than any other 6 acres in all of Hong Kong. It is where darkness and light clashed and the miracles happenned. It's God's grace and love at work in the midst of broken despised people.

5.0 out of 5 starsThese signs will accompany those who believe!
By A Customer on July 3 2003
Format: Paperback
Jackie is a significant word to the modern day church and world. If we will simply do the simple things God asks, regardless of how foolish it may appear, God will move on our behalf.
Jackie stands as a beacon of God's faithfulness and joy as He demonstrates His profound love and purpose for the poor, the devastated, the broken, the destitute, and the lonely!
You will find yourself weeping and caught in the passion of a heart that has been caught up by her love for Her Savior... would that we had the same passion in each of our hearts... this world just might actually be changed!

5.0 out of 5 starsWe think we're sold out for Christ until we meet Jackie
By Peter Roselle on April 20 2000
Format: Paperback
This book is very convicting. The book allowed me to follow her into humanity's sewer system - by herself without money or support but with loads of belief in the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.
Jackie inspires me by her example. "And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'(Matthew 25:40)
My thanks go to Jackie for walking the walk.

5.0 out of 5 starsSecond time I've read it--and I love it just as much!
By P. Vick on Nov. 27 2011
Format: Paperback
This is such an inspiring true story of how one person lives
out what Christ teaches. My faith and hope shot up both times I
read it--and I couldn't put it down.

Well written,very real, very moving. What God can do with people who believe
what He says, is amazing and wonderful. What God can do in the most
impossible and desperate situations is worth telling others about.

5.0 out of 5 starsWho said following Jesus was boring?
By David Marshall on Feb. 9 2000
Format: Paperback
Chasing the Dragon is well-written and fast-paced, and offers a little of everything: cops, robbers, farce, trajedy, an argument or two, and most of all, lives changed by the Gospel. Jackie has led a remarkable life, and her sense of humor is evidence that her success hasn't gone to her head. I've met her twice. The second time, God used our meeting to speak to me in an unexpected and round-about way, of which she was not even aware.
There certainly is room for others to follow her example by reaching out to drug addicts and prostitutes. In my opinion, this may be one of the key cross-cultural evangelistic ministries of our time. Many of the most successful Asian evangelists I have met were once drug addicts and criminals. God has delighted in using the weak things of this world to confound the strong, as Paul put it. And the need is great, especially with the spread of AIDs. Christians going to the mission field might pray about ministry to drug addicts and prostitutes. Dragon might also be a good book to give to non-Christian friends.
One caution: I think readers should avoid a "one size fits all" attempt to emulate the precise ways in which God's spirit used her ministry. Jesus should be our primary pattern, not Jackie Pullinger or anyone else. Author, True Son of Heaven: How Jesus Fulfills the Chinese Culture (d.marshall@sun.ac.jp)
