David Wilkerson förutsäger inte bara en ekonomisk tillbakagång, utan beskriver också ett allt varmare klimat, ökad psykisk ohälsa och flera utmaningar för den kristna kyrkan.

Korset och stiletten är den sanna berättelsen om hur landsortspastorn David Wilkerson grundar en kristen församling bland New Yorks gängkriminella. I en tid när verkligheten för många av stadens unga präglas av gatuvåld och utsatthet visar Gud genom Wilkersons arbete på kärlekens väg bort från drogmissbruk, rädslor och rivalitet. I centrum står den fruktade gängledaren Nicky Cruz. Efter flera våldsamma inledande möten med Wilkerson förstår Cruz att Gud har andra planer för hans liv – kärleken är starkare än hatet, och Gud är kärlek. Wilkerson inser snart nödvändigheten av drog- och alkoholavvänjning för stadens missbrukande tonåringar och grundar Teen Challenge i ett anspråkslöst kontor på Staten Island, söder om Manhattan. Tillsammans med Cruz får Wilkerson sedan se hur Gud förvandlar människor i New Yorks mest utsatta ytterområden. Korset och stiletten är en av de mest spridda kristna böckerna någonsin. Genom åren har den tryckts i stora upplagor, översatts till fler än 30 språk och även filmatiserats.

Viisautta arjen valintojen ja haasteiden keskelle Jumalan sanasta."Ottakaa vastaan minun ojennukseni, älkää hopeaa, ja tietoa mieluumin kuin hienointa kultaa. Onhan viisaus parempi kuin helmet, eivät mitkään kalleudet vedä sille vertaa." Sananlaskut 8:10,11Jokainen lupaus ja sananlasku kuuluu sinulle - jokaista pilkkua ja pistettä myöten. Tutki niitä rukoillen ja usko, että Henki avaa sinulle niiden syvimmän merkityksen. Älä koskaan epäröi käyttää näitä raamatunjakeita miekkana, joka murtaa Saatanan linnoitukset.Joskus jokin yksittäinen jae saatttaa tulla hyvin todelliseksi sinulle. Siitä tulee "sinun jakeesi - sinun sanasi". Siitä tulee yhtä todellinen kuin jos Jumala itse olisi tuonut sen sinulle henkilökohtaisesti. Älä pelkää omistaa sitä itsellesi Hengen valaistua sen sinulle.Kehotan sinua painamaan mieleesi niin monia jakeita kuin mahdollista, sillä tämä on Jumalan viisautta, joka sinun sydämeesi kätkettynä tuo sinussa jatkuvasti esiin jumalallisia luonteenpiirteitä.

MIKSI, JUMALA, MIKSI?David Wilkerson uskaltaa olla täydellisen rehellinen avautuessaan Jumalan ja lähimmäistensä edessä käsittelemään kristityn kokemia uskon ja elämän kriisejä - joista monet valitsevat vaieta. "Kasvojen pelastaminen ihmisten edessä ei tuo apua. Tässä kirjassani käsittelen heikkouksien tuskaani, samalla osoittaen tietä Jumalan todellisen avun vastaanottamiseksi."

Founder of Teen Challenge Shows How to Overcome Persistent SinsThis is David Wilkerson's capstone teaching, poured out from a heart that discovered the power God has given his people to triumph over sin. Through Wilkerson's expert ability to blend teaching with personal application, he shows that the key to defeating life-controlling habits is found in one thing: the new covenant God enacted with his people.In today's era of pop psychology, most Christians battle temptation and sin through self-help techniques or gritty self-will. Even Wilkerson, through decades of ministry that led hundreds of thousands to salvation and deliverance, struggled to know true peace as he battled his own "besetting sins." Determined to find victory, Wilkerson came to grasp the stunning reality that the vast love of God provides the spiritual resources believers need to obey his every command.Gathered from some of his most prominent sermons, this is one of Wilkerson's most powerful teachings--one that will redeem countless lives into the life-giving experience of purity.
