The Bridge is an unusual novel about life in the inner
city. The characters–cab drivers, dishwashers, cooks,
laundry workers–illustrate a part of modern American
life not usually found in Christian fiction.
Although one or two incidents in the book may seem
excessively violent, the overall drift of the story is
about the tenderness and simplicity of one awkward young
man who discovers Jesus Christ and tries in his own
limited way to live for Him. His brutal murder is not
the result of his failure to be a Christian, but rather
a great victory for the cause he espoused. As the blood
of the martyrs was the seed of the early church, so his
blood becomes seed for the spread of the gospel in his
immediate surroundings.
