Run Baby Run by Nicky Cruz

A raw, first-person memoir about a Puerto Rican youth who rises to notoriety as a violent gang leader in New York, recounting brutal street fights, crime, and the hatred that shaped his life until a dramatic encounter with a preacher and the message of Christian forgiveness leads him to reject violence, embrace faith, and devote himself to ministry and outreach; the story traces his inner struggles, the social conditions that spawned gang culture, and the transforming power of redemption to remake identity and purpose.
