Run Baby Run, by Nicky CruzRun Baby Run is the autobiography of an inspiring Christian, Nicky Cruz, who did not always serve the Lord. Nicky grew up in Puerto Rico, where his mother and father were spiritualists. His childhood was harsh and lonely and he was convinced that no one loved him. Nicky felt alone in the world from a very young age, which caused a deep hatred to grow within him. By the time Nicky was 16, his parents could no longer handle him and sent him to live with his brother, Frank, in New York. . When Nicky arrived in New York, he was scared and even more alone. Speaking limited English, Nicky went to his brother's house and stayed there for a while. Soon after, Nicky got in trouble at school and left his brother's house. Nicky lived on the streets. He quickly became active in gangs and eventually became the most feared gang leader in all of New York. Just as things were starting to look hopeless for Nicky, a skinny little pastor named David Wilkerson took on Nicky's gang. David told Nicky that Jesus loved him. No one had ever said this to Nicky before, and it affected him deeply. Nicky decided to live his life for Jesus and leave his gang life. The following year, Nicky left for California and enrolled in a Bible school. There he met a lovely woman named Gloria whom he later married. After finishing Bible studies, he started Teen Challenge where he grew up in Brooklyn. He took many gang members, drug dealers and homosexuals off the streets and brought them to Christ. He turned his life around and lived steadfastly for the Lord. Love was a major divine principle that deeply affected the characters in Run Baby Run. Nicky Cruz felt like he needed love his whole life. Eventually, God's love was shown to him through David Wilkerson and it changed his life. Nicky was able to pass this love on to others and it touched so many hardened hearts. If this glimmer of love had never entered Nicky's life, he would never have transformed into such a man of God. Nicky would never have brought so many others to Christ without the love of God. Another divine principle that was at work in this story is faith..
