David Ray Wilkerson was an American Christian evangelist, best known for his book The Cross and the Switchblade. He was the founder of the addiction recovery program Teen Challenge, and founding pastor of the non-denominational Times Square Church in New York.
Wilkerson's widely distributed sermons, such as "A Call to Anguish", are known for being direct and frank against apostasy and serious about making the commitment to obey Jesus' teachings. He emphasized such Christian beliefs as God's holiness and righteousness, God's love toward humans and especially Christian views of Jesus. Wilkerson tried to avoid categorizing Christians into distinct groups according to the denomination to which they belong.
Wilkerson was killed in a car crash in Texas on April 27, 2011.
As my first book is a daily devotional, I feel especially suited to write this review. This book was gifted to me and was very special, as David Wilkerson is one of my few heroes of the faith. He had a fiery, yet simplistic way of stating the facts and the Truth in a way no one else really ever has... he was gifted with directness and holy boldness. This book is a testimony to his life lived in service to a Holy God and a loving Saviour, imbibed with wisdom and direction from the Holy Spirit. It is a wonderful book filled with the passion and love of God only David Wilkerson could offer. This book is a blessing to all who read it.
A great daily devotion that’s an encouraging reminder of who God is, how much we are loved and that our walk isn’t in vain. He is faithful. His promises are true.
