The Cross and the Switchblade

The dramatic and inspiring true story of a small town minister called to help inner city kids everyone else believed were beyond hope.... 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.
