Chasing the Dragon
Jackie PullingerPaperback 2006-02-16
This is the compelling true story of how one woman, armed only with her faith in Christ, dared to bring the transforming message of God's love to Hong Kong's notorious 'Walled City' - a lawless hive of drug addiction, prostitution, and fear.
Publisher Description
Until it was pulled down, the Walled City was Hong Kong's most foreboding territory. It was a lawless place, dominated by the Triads, and which the police hesitated to enter. Strangers were unwelcome. Drug smuggling and heroin addiction flourished, as did prostitution and pornography, extortion and fear.When Jackie Pullinger set sail from England in 1966 she had no idea that God was calling her to the Walled City. Yet, as she spoke of Jesus Christ, brutal Triad gangsters were converted, prostitutes quit, and Jackie discovered a new treatment for drug addiction: baptism in the Holy Spirit.
