Published in 1963, it chronicles Wilkerson’s daring ministry in the 1950s among the violent street gangs of New York City. His courageous efforts to reach out to disenfranchised youth and offer them hope and redemption through faith struck a chord with readers across generations. The book’s raw, unvarnished portrayal of gang life and Wilkerson’s unwavering compassion made it a groundbreaking work in the Christian nonfiction genre. This 1993 edition, with its signs of frequent reading, invites collectors and readers alike to immerse themselves in this gripping narrative that inspired a 1970 film adaptation and cemented Wilkerson’s legacy as a pioneering urban missionary.
