Interpretation Conducive To Books Run Baby Run

I hate to do this to another classic, but I have to be honest. This was an extremely popular book in Christian circles when I was in my teens (the 1990's.) I read it several times back then and as a relatively new believer probably would have rated it highly. I wondered if my perspective had changed so got hold of a free copy and re-read it now, well some of it. There is no doubt that the story itself is an incredible working of God's power in the life of gangster Nicky Cruz through His servant David Wilkerson. I remember also reading The Cross and the Switchblade which tells the story from Wilkerson's point of view. There is also a film which I watched once.... However, this time of reading, I was appalled by the gratuitous violence and the graphic descriptions of it. I stopped reading at the point where the gang deal with a failed recruit by stabbing him in both armpits. I appreciate that the turn-around in Cruz' life was more miraculous due to the level of depravity he had reached and that that is one of the reasons why the details have been included. But, reading it now as a (hopefully) more spiritually mature adult, it is truly sickening. I can't believe I read it as a teen and wasn't unduly bothered by the violence. I reviewed Street God last year with a one star rating due to the author appearing to glorify sin in his testimony. (http://christianmissionaryuk.blogspot...) Honestly, there is little difference between the two books in terms of the graphic nature. Street God probably contains a lot more detail of drug abuse but Run Baby Run has sexual details that shocked me and that I didn't recall from my first reading all those years ago. Either I have become a legalist as I have grown older in which case feel free to disregard my review or sanctification is actually changing me albeit slowly and I can no longer tolerate things that would have been acceptable to me in the past. The Bible suggests it is probably the latter... I can't recommend this book, it is full of graphic violence and some sexual content as well as shortened versions of bad language.

Appraise Out Of Books Run Baby Run

Fascinating story of Nicky Cruz who was once the leader of a New York gang and then found Christ at a Dave Wilkerson event. The book takes the reader from Nicky's young days in Puerto Rico to the streets of New York to California. Despite having some overlap with the book "The Cross and the Switchblade," the book is well worth reading itself as any "duplicate events"are presented from a different perspective.There is some graphic violence and descriptive drug use.

Run baby run, a brilliant thrilling book of the true story of Nicky Cruz. Nicky cruz writes of his life from poor and isolated in his satanic childhood home in Puerto rico, to notorious gangster in New york then finally turning to God, giving up his life to the One and Only God, the Lord Jesus Christ. I being a Christian all my life have always loved Jesus with all my heart. But upon reading this book it strengthened my faith and belief in Jesus immensely. This amazing story tells of how

This book is a very good book it has a lot of action and excitement. It is about a teenage boy who grow up in Brooklyn and has to deal with gangs and drugs and weapons and girls. He joins a gang called "Mau Mau" then it becomes very big and he becomes a leader. Later on in the years he becomes a christian and try's to tell all his friends and former gang members he marries a beautiful puerto rican girl and they live as Christians to gather. Nicky Cruz himself is also puerto rican.

Ive read this book so many times I dont think I could ever forget it. From humble beginnings as a poor kid growing up in Puerto Rico, to a lonely teen living on New York City streets, to a redeemed man of faith looking to provide the same hope that was offered to him, Nicky Cruz truly transformed his life and made something beautiful from ashes. Some of the moments are very hard to read, gruesome and violent and difficult to wrap your head around, but so necessary in order to grow that hope that

This book is the autobiographical account of Nicky Cruz. Originally hailing from Puerto Rico he was sent to New York as a teenager. There he had no-one so he turned to the gangs. It wasn't long until he was elevated to gang leader thanks to his fearless ways. But later came a man with three words for him that did scare him:`Jesus loves you!' Three small words that change Nicky Cruz's life for ever!However the change was not easy, there were struggles along the way and friends were lost as Nicky

One of the best books I have ever read. Even after several re-reads this book still leaves me speechless. This is the story of Nicky Cruz, a misunderstood teenager from Puerto Rico who finds himself the leader of one of the most notorious gangs of New York, the Mau-Maus. Struggling with the lifestyle of a warlord, fighting gangs, killing, stealing, drugs, sex and much more. He stumbles upon a preacher, David Wilkerson. Soon Nicky's eyes are open and his life goes down a different path.This

Cruz may have some good and inspiring stories to tell, but he adds too much circumstance under the auspices of divine intervention. I think in Latin American this kind of story telling is accepted, but in English speaking America, this comes across as patronizing. Mike Warnke's /The Satan Seller/ is in this same genre, but it takes knowledge outside the text to see the inconsistencies.Another thing that would have made this book better is if Cruz concentrated on a few stories in detail, rather
