A true story that changed a generation. The Cross and the Switchblade tells the remarkable account of David Wilkerson, a young Pennsylvania preacher who felt called to the dangerous streets of New York City in the 1950s. There, he encountered gang members, drug addicts, and troubled teenagers—and brought them the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. This powerful testimony of faith, courage, and God's transforming love has inspired millions and remains a timeless reminder that no one is beyond the reach of God's grace.
