Stories of Faith and Radical Obedience

For a classic story of redemption and courage, The Cross and the Switchblade by David Wilkerson is a must-read. It chronicles a country preacher's move to New York City to minister to gang members, demonstrating God's power to change the most difficult lives.

If you are looking for an incredible story of survival and forgiveness, Unbroken (The Young Adult Adaptation) tells the life of Louis Zamperini. While famous for his time as a WWII prisoner of war, his ultimate story is one of finding Christ and the strength to forgive his captors.
