Apparently it has become a classic for those American Evangelicals who like a certain amount of violence porn and police procedural in their tales of missionary efforts in the inner city. It was not to my taste, as at the age of 18 my memories of a working class neighborhood clashed with the mindset displayed. i read my Bantam paperback copy in April 1963, so this site has only reprints listed. ( ) This is a truly moving and powerful story and I think it will affect each reader differently. What really spoke to me was the fact that David kept 'putting the fleece before the Lord' and was blessed abundantly when he did this. It has encouraged me to consider praying out loud more and to not feel shame or embarrassment about praying for things. After-all in order to receive we must ask. no reviews | add a review
