Run, Baby, Run

Rating:
Summary: Run Baby Run is inspiring
Review: I read this book several times while still in school. I was lucky enough to see Nicky Cruz speak on a couple of occasions, and found his story fascinating. I found it exciting where it needed to be and uplifting as well. It is an amazing story and sheds light in a dark area. His story is from decades ago, but now more than ever, it is useful. Today's gang-obsessed youth could really use a book like this in their lives. Even without the religious themes within the book, the messages of hope and positive change are important.

Summary: Great book!
Review: I read this book when I was a teenager (I'm almost fify now). Since I haven't reread it, I can't remember many of the details of the book. However, I do remember this book greatly impacted me in three ways. One, it showed why young people join a gang. Two, it showed how brutal gang life is. Three, it showed how Jesus can transform anyone, even a hardened gang member, if he or she will only ask Him to come into their heart. I believe everyone will benefit from reading Nicky's story.

Summary: One of the greatest books I have ever read
Review: I recommend this book to any reader and nonreader because i am sure they will all enjoy this book. I have just recently finshed reading it (I only wished I had read it earlier)and wanted to know more so next best thing was to read David Wilkerson's book's (the little skinny preacher) that did wonders for Nicky. It is just incredible how the Holy Spirit works wonders through someone else. I do hope Nicky will write another book, (or has he,I like to know)(as I am in Downunder and get second hand news)as I would like to know lots more.

Summary: A very powerful story-
Review: I was glued to this book from the very beginning. It starts out at a fast pace, and hardly ever slows down. The story is told first hand of how a a teenager running wild on a one way street to the electric chair was transformed and went on to witness to those still caught in the trap that he so narrowly escaped

Summary: A prominent member of a gang meets Jesus...
Review: In 1995 I fell in love with a strongly believing girl and she gave me several books to read. "Run, Baby, Run" was one of them (it was written in Czech) and one should admit that I enjoyed the book. Nicky Cruz's gang was really very violent, fighting with policemen often and many people there were drug addicts. But a preacher introduced Nicky to Jesus Christ one day and then everything changed...

Summary: very good, down to earth reading - where's the film?
Review: It's an excellent read, a book that you find hard to put down once you start to read, a book that makes you feel that you are with Nicky all the way. I have purchased this book a couple of times and when I tell friends they then ask me to lend them my copy and I then do not get it back, I have now got a 3rd copy on order from my local book shop, and this one I will keep if I can get hold of it.

Summary: Great Story However Dated.
Review: Kinda like the West Side Story. They use to knuckle up and had some bravery and honor. Cowards just shoot today. A great testimony of the Life Saving changing power of God who became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ.

Rating:
Summary: A truly inspiring true life story
Review: My older sister told me this book changed the way she looked at everything as a teenager, so I got it from her. On the first page I was hooked, and I couldn't put it down. This book combines heart-pounding suspense with the revelation of God's love for ALL of his children. It also shows how even a little man can go and do the impossible, like the pastor that saved Nicky Cruz. This is one of the best books i have ever read, and I do not say that lightly. I strongly recommend it for any christian.

Summary: Run Baby Run
Review: People may not be able to change but Jesus can change hearts. Even though many people did not suffer through the same background as Mr. Cruz, but many are just as lost and separated from God.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away, behold all things have become new. 2 Cor 5:17
