People who have read the unforgetta-
ble best seller, THE CROSS AND THE
SWITCHBLADE, often ask its author,
David Wilkerson, what has happened
since its publication in the early 1960s.
Their gratifying interest in his story and
his ministry has prompted him to bring
his many readers up-to-date with a fitting
sequel-and BEYOND THE CROSS
AND THE SWITCHBLADE is just the
book we ve all been waiting for.
Here is a nostalgic look back at memor-
able characters from the original book
and a brief review of what they re doing
today. We are treated to a behind-the-
scenes look at the making of the movie
version of THE CROSS AND THE
SWITCHBLADE, starring Pat Boone,
and find that, surprisingly, the venture
brought fame but not fortune.
The publicity accompanying the book
and the movie turned the skinny preacher
from Pennsylvania into a reluctant celeb-
rity, and eventually forced him to with-
draw from the rat race for a while. Only
then was he able to place things in their
proper perspective-waiting upon "Holy
Ghost timing," as he puts it-thus renew-
ing his person-to-person ministry that had
been temporarily sidetracked by other
commitments. The past decade was filled
with many ups and downs for the entire
Wilkerson family, and David frankly re-
counts it all: his wife Gwen s gallant bout
with cancer, his brother Jerry s now-
conquered battle with alcoholism.
