Chasing the Dragon 60th Anniversary edition
About this ebook
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.
Sixty Years on and millions of people have read Chasing the Dragon, the remarkable story of God's power at work. And the adventures continue today - this reissue celebrates six decades of Jackie's work with a new foreword by Pete Greig.
