Interpretation During 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.

Assessment Based On Books Run Baby Run

I really enjoyed this book and read it twice. I would read it again. It is very well written and it's a page turner. For anyone who likes Cross and the Switchblade, this is the book for you.The bulk of the book is about Nicky's experience in the gang called Mau-Maus. Truthfully, the kid was a terror and that's putting it mildly. The stage is set. Nicky was a ruthless violent thug, the police were scared of him and he was pretty much immune to reprisal. Enter David Wilkerson, skinny preacher.

Run Baby Run is a very honest, riveting autobiography about a man with a lot of hurt, anger and pain turning away from his former life as a gang member and drug user to follow Christ. He is very honest and humble as he tells his story from the beginning as a scared, angry boy living in Puerto Rico with his parents who were famous in their community for using witchcraft, to his teenage years living in New York with his brother, becoming a gang member and so on. He leaves nothing out or hides

I received this book from my grandmother years ago. Quit possibly a few years after my Papa passed. I wanted it because it was old and falling apart, and the cover looked intriguing. I was into collecting books then. I've had it for at least 14 or 15yrs. I had never read it, but kept it for sentimental reasons. Due to some life changes it became part of my need to read and then discard pile. I no longer collect books, just keeping those that bring joy. Again, I picked up the book from my

Must read! Get the book, Run, Baby, Run.And coming soon see the movie, Thousand Pieces The Nicky Cruz Story Nickys conversion was depicted in the 1970 film The Cross and the Switchblade starring Erik Estrada as Cruz and Pat Boone as David Wilkerson.

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
