"Two Ways" is the story of Bronx pastor Sal Sabino, once a notorious leader in the drug trade of upper Manhattan, now an aggressive soul winner who has led many of his former colleagues to Christ and has them actively doing the same. Pastor Sabino candidly opens his life to scrutiny. The plot is gripping and there are points at which it’s hard to see how hope could have emerged at all from this life of ever-deepening despair, much of it brought on by willful persistence in violence and addiction. By the time the author tells of God’s dramatic intervention, readers will have felt a little of what it was to struggle through life stuck in a web of evil in the world and sin in his own heart. The title is taken from the words of Jesus in Matthew 7:13 and 14: "Broad is the way that leads to destruction...and difficult is the way that leads to life. Being hailed as this generation’s The Cross and the Switchblade. Two Ways is already in its third printing in the Spanish-language version Dos Caminos. (Editorial Vida).

About the Author:

For the past fifteen years, God has been using Pastor Sal Sabino to set captives free and then set them loose making disciples out of gang members, drug dealers and many other lost and hopeless people in his adopted hometown of New York City. As a leader in the drug trade, he was notorious. To the benefit of many, he is just as notorious as a pastor and community leader. He’s been called "One of New York’s most beloved pastors" by Univision’s morning show "Despierta America" and his work has been reported in major newspapers in New York and Washington, D.C. Originally from San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Repuiblic, he grew up in Washington Heights, where he has planted a thriving congregation based on cell groups. More than 200 cells care regularly for more than 2,000 souls. The church – Heavenly Vision Christian Center – is active in compassion and evangelistic outreach in upper Manhattan and the Bronx. In addition, Pastor Sabino, who holds a bachelor’s degree from Berean Bible College, and his wife Kenia travel the U.S. and Latin America preaching the gospel.
