The story of one man's mission to the gangs of New York, Mr. Wilkerson describes the hardships involved in reaching the teens. From being threatened with death, thrown from a courtroom, and laughed at by the kids he was trying to reach, the hand of God was always at work.
An encouraging read to any Christian and an interesting one none the less, I was blessed by this book. ( )

A very good Christian book. A bit mature but all in all it is inspiring and I really liked it. Makes me feel like going out on the mission field! ( )
