desertcart.com: The Cross and the Switchblade: 9780515090253: Wilkerson, David, Sherrill, Elizabeth, Sherrill, John: Books

Review: Awesome book! Great for teens as well as old people. - I loved this book when I read it as a pre-teen and ordered it for my grandson. I wanted to look it over (without breaking the binding) to make sure it was the same book, but I couldn't put it down! I still love it 50ish years later! So now I either have to buy another one for my grandson, or give it to him as a hand-me-down, instead of a wrapped gift! This true story is engaging because it elicits a range of feelings: Suspense, curiosity, compassion, sadness & joy (I got a little teary a few times) amazement, and the wonder of God.
Review: Incredibly Inspiring History Made Alive - I recently realized I had never read this book, but only watched the movie. I was truly inspired by it, from start to finish. There were many times it touched me deeply, reading about the lives of young people which were suddenly and miraculously changed. I was also inspired by the simple faith described, as David sought to obey God, stepping out into the unknown, trusting God, and working with young people in very difficult situations. The root problem of "lonesomeness ", described by one of the youths, is very much a problem today; even with internet "connections", I believe people are lonelier than ever. The good news is that we who Believe can offer hope.
