The Cross and the Switchblade

This story about a country preacher who is drawn to New York to lead gang members to Christ inspired me to reach out to inner-city gangsters in Los Angeles in the ’80s when gang killings were at a peak. David Wilkerson’s boldness and compassion for men who threatened his life encouraged me to trust Jesus and follow him. I found that His perfect love truly casts out all fear. You will be encouraged as well to go out to the lost, regardless of their background, and show the Father’s heart.
