Jackie Pullinger Boeken

A major new edition of one of Britain's bestselling Christian books of all time. To mark the 21st anniversary of Chasing the Dragon, which has sold more than a quarter of a million copies around the world, Jackie Pullinger has written two completely new chapters to update the stories of some of the lost people to whom she brought the compassion and saving power of the gospel. 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. A place of prostitution and pornography, extortion and fear. When Jackie set out from England she had no idea that God was calling her to the Walled City. Yet, as she spoke of Jesus Christ, amazing events started to occur...

This is a photographic account of Jackie Pullinger's work in Hong Kong which through interviews provides a gripping portrait of the drug addicts, prostitutes, Triad gang members and society's outcasts who live in the Walled City. It describes some of the most incredible stories of people she helped through the Holy Spirit. Today, the drug addicts who came off heroin painlessly are ministering to others. They go out from Hang Fook camp, "Camp of the Blessing", to families, street sleepers and back to the Walled City where those on drugs come to find Jesus. The author has been in Hong Kong for 21 years, working with the poor and drug addicts, and is the author of "Chasing The Dragon". Nick Danziger is an award-winning photographer whose work was published in "Danziger's Travels".

V Hongkongu leží "Obezděné město", místo bezpráví, kde vládnou gangy, bují tu obchod s drogami, lidské životy ovládá závislost na heroinu. Angličanka Jackie Pullingerová zasvětila svůj život zdejším narkomanům. Od r. 1968 riskantně pronikala do hongkongského podsvětí. Svým působením pomohla stovkám narkomanů, aby opustili dráhu závislosti a zločinu. Její práci se dostalo mezinárodního uznání.
