Riassunto:

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...

Recensione: Jackie Pullinger has helped to turn a city around and has saved lives, all because of the compassion that she's received from Jesus. She is clear and straight up in the way that only someone who is actually doing what she says can be. (Mike Pilavachi)

One of the most dramatic Christian autobiographies ever published (Church of England Newspaper)

Anyone less likely to go tripping into the vice dens of the notorious Walled City could not be found. Maybe her ignorance saved her ... or her courage. (Daily Mail)

A book to stop you in your tracks. (Liverpool Daily Post)
