Summary: A Story of One Mans Self Discovery
Review: A very compelling story: A Nicky Cruz autobiography of growing up without knowing the true meaning of the word "Love". Growing up in the streets of Brooklyn, struggling and battling to survive, his fiercest battle is with his innermost demons. He is able to discover with the help of a preacher that everyone is worthy of God's love no matter how much evil is in their past. I first read this book about 25 years ago at 13 years old and the book still to this day has a impact on me. I'm going to refer this book to my son of 15 years so that he can read this story of great inspiration.

Summary: A lifetime of influence.
Review: First read some 25 years ago, this is an account of touching reality - a harsh environment of tortuously limited survival odds. That Cruz escapes is testament to the persistance of his religious preceptor. As compelling a message, however, is the strength Cruz found within to turn from his familiar and disturbingly comfortable existance. Therein lies the true purpose - it is less a bible thumping exercise than an exemplar of spiritual power. I have read the book on countless occasions and, though not deeply religious, have often drawn on it's dynamism. As with other critques, I believe that as a tale of hope, though it may not convert, it might at least reform.

Summary: excellent reading material
Review: I have read this book years ago,when I myself was a teenager.After reading it,I was also lucky enough to see Nicky Cruz himself in person.I couldn't believe that a person his size could also have been one of the toughest sob's in the ghetto.I found his story very exciting and very moving.I am very anxious to find his book and read it again.I would also like to have my children read this book.It is a story that every family should have in their house and one that every family with teens should read.

Summary: This book will challenge you!
Review: I read "Run Baby Run" when I was in my mid-teens, and the book had an incredible impact on me. Nicky's story of redemption from a life of sin and crime in the inner city of New York, and the story of the man who God used to bring Nicky to Christ, shows how the power of God is able to change any heart. It also gives the reader a glimpse into the life a young person lives in the inner city, surrounded by gangs, drugs, prostitution and poverty. The book is well written and impossible to put down! I came away with a new awe for the awesomeness of God and with a desire to reach out to those who are hurting, hopeless and in need of a Savior. I still read this book periodically to remind myself that there is a world that needs to hear the gospel and that nothing is impossible with God!

Summary: What every teen should read!
Review: I read this book about six years ago, when I was 13, where I had a paperback copy, which was blue... Now after all this time If ever I am asked, which was the greatest book that I have ever read. "Run, Baby Run" is by far, one of the best. I would recommend this book to all teenagers, so they are made aware of the difficult life of drugs and violence and yearn to avoid it at all cost.
