Wilkerson's story is one of faith, courage, and redemption. Born into a poor family in Pennsylvania, Wilkerson felt called to the ministry at a young age. After graduating from seminary, he took a job as a pastor in a small town church. But his heart was always with the lost and hurting, and he soon felt led to work with the gangs of New York City.

In 1958, Wilkerson moved to Brooklyn and started working with the Teen Challenge program, a ministry that reached out to drug addicts and gang members. At first, Wilkerson's efforts were met with hostility and rejection. But he refused to give up, and eventually he began to make progress. One by one, gang members started to turn their lives over to Christ. And as they did, the violence and crime in their neighborhoods decreased.

"The Cross and the Switchblade" is a powerful testimony to the power of God's love and grace. Wilkerson's story shows that even the most hardened hearts can be changed by the gospel. It is a story of hope and redemption that will inspire you to believe that anything is possible with God.
