"One fateful night in 1958, a skinny country preacher named David Wilkerson opened a copy of LIFE Magazine to a picture of seven teenage boys on trial for murder.
As he looked at their desperate faces, a sudden conviction possessed him that he must go to New York City - where he had never set foot to help these youngsters.
The trip opened David's eyes to problems he hadn't known existed, problems that were defeating the best human wisdom, the most determined human efforts.
A quarter of a century later THE CROSS AND THE SWITCHBLADE continues to inspire as the story of the triumph of faith over the forces of evil.
There is nothing vague about the power of the Holy Spirit as it is experienced in this battle."
This book has been a text book to millions in the practiced application of Christian belief to problems of daily living that face us all."
