David Ray Wilkerson was an American Christian evangelist, best known for his book The Cross and the Switchblade. He was the founder of the addiction recovery program Teen Challenge, and founding pastor of the non-denominational Times Square Church in New York.
Wilkerson's widely distributed sermons, such as "A Call to Anguish", are known for being direct and frank against apostasy and serious about making the commitment to obey Jesus' teachings. He emphasized such Christian beliefs as God's holiness and righteousness, God's love toward humans and especially Christian views of Jesus. Wilkerson tried to avoid categorizing Christians into distinct groups according to the denomination to which they belong.
Wilkerson was killed in a car crash in Texas on April 27, 2011.
Considering this book is already ten years old, it speaks a lot of truth to what is happening right now in our country of the US. Perhaps after the decades of warnings Mr. Wilkerson gave us based on the Word of God, God took him up at the best time before seeing most of his Vision coming true, though he saw a lot of it in the works anyway. This was very accurately stated and backed up by the Bible. It was short and a good read.
David, touches on many prophecies concerning Israel which in many instances mirror America. He prohesied many events though he does not claim to be a prophet. He is warning us of impending financial, what he calls "Financial Holocaust", as well he warns us of what God has forcast in His word is going to come to pass and we had better heed God's warnings and prepare ourselves for the terrible events to come for God will do what He has said he will do. If we repent we will escape the terribleness of that day. You will be in awe as you read this book.
Interesting, and definitely contains some valuable insights. The reader needs to look beyond overly-specific prophecies by the author, but if you can get past that, the general insights about how God works are valuable. I was particularly interested in the comparisons to Sodom. Our nation and culture is shockingly similar...
