Summary
Amazing story about a man who heard God's clear, specific call on his life and followed it against all odds to bring Christ and hope to the inner city gangs. David Wilkerson's obedience is an inspiration. His life points to God's ability not his own. Like many of the old and new testament heroes he was not qualified in any way to do the job God called him to do. He just took the steps of faith and God did all the rest.
