Run Baby Run, by Nicky CruzRun Baby Run is the autobiography of an inspiring Christian, Nicky Cruz, who has not always served the Lord. Nicky grew up in Puerto Rico, where his mother and father were spiritualists. His childhood was hard and lonely and he was convinced that no one loved him. Nicky felt alone in the world at a young age and this caused a deep hatred to begin to grow within him. When Nicky was 16 his parents couldn't handle him anymore and sent him to live with his brother Frank in New York City. . When Nicky arrived in New York, he was scared and even more alone. Speaking limited English, Nicky found his way to his brother's house and stayed there for a while. Before long, Nicky got into trouble at school and left his brother's house. Nicky lived on the streets. He soon became active in gangs and eventually became the most feared gang leader in all of New York. When things were starting to look hopeless for Nicky, a scrawny little preacher named David Wilkerson confronted Nicky's gang. David told Nicky that Jesus loved him, no one had ever told Nicky that before, and it affected him deeply. Nicky decided to live his life for Jesus and leave the gang life. The following year, Nicky left for California and enrolled in a Bible school. While there, he met a lovely woman named Gloria who he later married. After finishing his Bible studies, he started Teen Challenge where he grew up in Brooklyn. He has brought many gang members, drug dealers and homosexuals from the streets to Christ. He changed his life and lived strongly for the Lord. Love was an important divine principle that profoundly influenced the characters in Run Baby Run. Nicky Cruz felt like she needed love her whole life. Eventually, God's love was shown to him through David Wilkerson and it changed his life. Nicky was able to pass that love on to others and impacted many hardened hearts. If this glimmer of love had never entered Nicky's life, he would never have developed into such a man of God. Nicky would never have brought so many more people to Christ if it were not for the love of God. another divine principle that was at work in this story is faith..
