4 stars INCREDIBLE 2009-12-11

Reviewer: Jean Valjean

A truly inspirational book of one man's unwavering faith and reliance on God. Everyone should read this book at least once!

5 stars Encouraging! well... for me it was... Step Out in Faith 2009-11-05

Reviewer: Isaac

Faith...

I loved how David and his wife stepped out in faith
to pastor a church with no fleshly benefits...GoD rewarded them...

Then again, after the church started doing well,
things were good, another step of faith is required...
and again both him and his wife Trust GoD and great things are done in Jesus Name

If you haven't read it... read it!

5 stars The Cross and the Switchblade 2009-04-27

Reviewer: Kathryn S. Rogers

I read this book as a teen. When my son needed something to read for school, I offered him the book, "Run Baby Run", a book about gangs and one person in particular who struggled to leave that lifestyle behind. He very much enjoyed it, so I bought this book as an adjunct. "The Cross and the Switchblade addresses the same issues of life on the streets, and those whose hearts have hardened as a result of their difficult life experiences. In an effort to reach out to those associated with dangerous gangs and drug infested areas, and to try to soften their hearts with love when all they have known is disappointment, neglect, racism, poverty, etc., a ministry of christianity is established, opened for anyone who desires to change their lives or to see their community become a safe havens instead of a hell on earth.

5 stars A Great Testimony to the Power of God 2008-05-23

Reviewer: Richard A. Hopping

This book is based on a true story. A true testimony to the power of God. The kind of transforming power still available today. The impact of this true story has continued to touch and change lives forever. The movie is also very powerful if you get the chance to view it. Thank God for men and women who continue to listen to God's voice in a time that many naysayers say the sitution is hopeless.

5 stars One of the best books I've ever read. 2008-04-07

Reviewer: Trish

Just saw that there is an old movie, with Pat Boone, made from this book.
Don't know how the movie will be yet. However, I like to give good reviews for books that deserve them and many years after having read this one - which I had virtually forgotten til today - I still see it as one of the most profound witnesses to what a life in Messiah should reflect. Amazing story. It will bless you and humble you.
