David Wilkerson by Gary Wilkerson

"David Wilkerson" by son Gary Wilkerson is a thorough biography about the author of "The Cross and The Switchblade". It chronicles David's upbringing in a strict Pentecostal home, laying the foundation for the man he would become. The book carefully outlines David's beliefs and thinking as he grew up and most particularly emphasizes David's call from and walk with God throughout his life. The story is told chronologically and is clearly written. The book was challenging simply because of its subject, who walked with God boldly and decisively. David Wilkerson's personality was strong, and the narration of his life story was interesting. Biblical truth as David saw it was clearly communicated. This book was, however, overly long--300 pages. Only if you are extremely interested to know about David Wilkerson will you find the whole book interesting. If you are mildly interested, you will find it repetitive and long, as it seems to tell the same stories repeatedly. I would only recommend this book to those who are fascinated by David Wilkerson. I received this book for free in exchange for my unbiased review through the Thomas Nelson BookSneeze Program.
