About this listen

 David Wilkerson, a man on a mission, stepped onto some of the world's most dangerous streets armed only with the simple message of God's love and the promise of the Holy Spirit's power. Then the miracles began to happen.

Led by incredible faith, Wilkerson left his country pulpit in 1958 for the streets of New York City, where a murder trial of seven teenaged boys churned society's antipathy toward them. Even Wilkerson was bewildered by his sense of compassion, but in spite of doubt, he followed the Spirit's prompting to help the boys.

This is the amazing story of his journey, and of the mighty power of God to accomplish the impossible. One of the most inspiring and challenging true stories of all time, it has sold millions of copies throughout the world and has been made into a feature film.

David Wilkerson was a brave man for venturing into the drug dens and ganglands of New York but what a difference his bravery made! David turned lives around in Jesus name! Nothing is impossible in His name! This book was amongst the 'included with Audible' list. So glad I came across it. I highly recommend it!

I read this book probably about 35 years ago. What an amazing and wonderful witness. I've no idea what drug addiction does to you. But the miracle of God is the only hope for addicts.

Wonderful witness
