When David Wilkerson moved to New York in 1958 to confront the gangs who ran the streets, he was armed with only a cross and his faith. Using the Word of God and a bit of tough love, he dedicated his life to helping some of the most dangerous men and women of the street escape the destructive spiral of drugs and violence and find new life in the Gospel.
The founder of Teen Challenge, an organization committed to weaning addicts off drugs, as well as the Times Square Church, a non-denominational church of 8,000 members and still a safe place for those battling sins and addictions, Wilkerson was a hugely influential force for good in the city of New York.
Now readers can enjoy the rest of the story of Wilkerson's life and ministry, as told by his son Gary. Readers will be inspired and strengthened in their faith as they read about a man who trusted God to provide in even the most dangerous of circumstances, who carried forward the vision God gave him without looking back, and who saw in the eyes of the drug addicts and gang members what others failed to see-Jesus Christ.
