The
change in the life of notorious gang leader
Nicky Cruz, as shown
in the film, prove to be wonderfully lasting in real. Nikky
continues today to reach young people around the world with the
same life-changing message of the gospel of Jesus Christ that
delivered him from violence and despair.
And what about the
skinny preacher, David Wilkerson, who braved the meanest streets
of New York to tell desperate and drug crazed youth that there
was a better way? Now, three decades later, he is still at it
with a ministry based in Times Square that is still changing
lives and offering genuine hope to countless souls who had given
up on life.
Now in over 25 languages, The Cross and a
Switchblade, starring Pat Boone and Erik Estrada, is one of
those rare films that has shown its unique power to connect with
the deepest hope and fears of youth around the world. It remains
today one of the most compelling stories of love, grace, and the
truth that no one is ever so far gone that they cannot find a
way out.
