Summary: Who said following Jesus was boring?
Comment: Chasing the Dragon is well-written and fast-paced, and offers a little of everything: cops, robbers, farce, trajedy, an argument or two, and most of all, lives changed by the Gospel. Jackie has led a remarkable life, and her sense of humor is evidence that her success hasn't gone to her head. I've met her twice. The second time, God used our meeting to speak to me in an unexpected and round-about way, of which she was not even aware.
There certainly is room for others to follow her example by reaching out to drug addicts and prostitutes. In my opinion, this may be one of the key cross-cultural evangelistic ministries of our time. Many of the most successful Asian evangelists I have met were once drug addicts and criminals. God has delighted in using the weak things of this world to confound the strong, as Paul put it. And the need is great, especially with the spread of AIDs. Christians going to the mission field might pray about ministry to drug addicts and prostitutes. Dragon might also be a good book to give to non-Christian friends.
One caution: I think readers should avoid a "one size fits all" attempt to emulate the precise ways in which God's spirit used her ministry. Jesus should be our primary pattern, not Jackie Pullinger or anyone else. Author, True Son of Heaven: How Jesus Fulfills the Chinese Culture ([email protected])

Summary: Jesus the Dragon Slayer
Comment: This is an amazing book. Jackie describes how she lives purely by faith, not supported by any missionary society or church, and works fulltime amongst the poorest of the poor and the most wicked of the wicked in the ancient Walled City of Hong Kong. Jackie's ministry is to the drug addicts who "chase the dragon" and the Holy Spirit comes with power and healing to rescue them. Jesus is the Dragon Slayer!
I am a Christian Psychologist and I have recently applied to work as a Prison Chaplain. I think God directed me to read this book so that I would know that the Holy Spirit is wanting to help the drug addicts in Australian prisons too.

Summary: These signs will accompany those who believe!
Comment: Jackie is a significant word to the modern day church and world. If we will simply do the simple things God asks, regardless of how foolish it may appear, God will move on our behalf.
Jackie stands as a beacon of God's faithfulness and joy as He demonstrates His profound love and purpose for the poor, the devastated, the broken, the destitute, and the lonely!
You will find yourself weeping and caught in the passion of a heart that has been caught up by her love for Her Savior... would that we had the same passion in each of our hearts... this world just might actually be changed!
