The Cross and the Switch Blade has been viewed by an estimated 50 million people in over 30 languages in 150 countries, according to World Film Crusade.

Originally a book written in 1962 by pastor David Wilkerson with John and Elizabeth Sherrill.

It tells the true story of Wilkerson’s first five years in New York City, where he ministered to disillusioned youth, encouraging them to turn away from the drugs and gang violence they were involved with.

The book became a best seller, with more than 15 million copies distributed in over 30 languages.

In 1970, a film adaptation was released, starring Pat Boone as David Wilkerson and Erik Estrada (in his screen debut) as Nicky Cruz, the teen gang member whose life was transformed by Wilkerson’s ministry.
