Description

Run Baby Run by Nicky Cruz and Jamie Buckingham remains a compelling read even 30 years after its first publication. The book begins with Nicky Cruz's childhood, which was overshadowed by spiritualism in a Puerto Rican home. This led to a harsh and violent adolescence as Cruz became the leader of one of New York's toughest street gangs.

The narrative is filled with chilling scenes of knife fights, torture, and murder, all of which dominated the life of a young man who was proud and feared on the outside, yet inwardly running scared. These fears and loneliness came to light when Cruz encountered preacher David Wilkerson, who played a pivotal role in leading him to open his life to Christ.

The book details this incredible conversion that astounded all who knew him. Through Run Baby Run, readers journey through Cruz's transformation and redemption, making it a timeless testimony of faith and change.
