Run Baby Run: Life-Changing Testimony Of A New York Gang Leader by Nicky Cruz
Nicky Cruz’s heart had turned to stone when he was only three. His mother nicknamed him the “son of Satan,” and he was severely abused, both physically and mentally. After moving from Puerto Rico to New York, Nicky became the leader of a notorious street gang — the Mau Maus. He turned into a violent street criminal before he was eighteen.
David Wilkerson, a skinny preacher from Pennsylvania, reached out to him with relentless love. He said, “Nicky, Jesus loves you,” and this simple message opened the door to a new life for Nicky Cruz. Run Baby Run, now a classic that has sold over 12 million people, tells his exciting story with gripping openness.
Billy Graham wrote, “The story of Nicky Cruz is remarkable. It has all the elements of tragedy, violence, and intrigue, plus the greatest ingredient of all: the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”
Nicky’s personal challenge to young people today, his thoughts regarding teen violence, and a helpful and practical action plan for concerned parents ensure that this classic testimony will continue to change the lives of our young people.
“Run Baby Run is a thrilling story. Thousands of troubled young people have read this story and turned their lives over to Christ!” Jamie Buckingham, co-author.
Nicky wants you to know the truth of the life-changing words that penetrated his heart when he was a violent young man who abused others, alcohol, and drugs: “Jesus loves you!”
The Journals of Jim Elliot edited by Elisabeth Elliot
Jim Elliot was part of a team of young missionaries murdered in Ecuador in 1956 by the Auca Indians to whom they were witnessing. At the age of 29, he left behind a young widow, a baby daughter, and volumes of personal journals written over many years.
In 1978, Revell published the complete and unabridged journals, edited by his widow, Elisabeth, and the journals have stayed in print ever since. And it is no wonder Jim Elliot was an intelligent thinker and strong writer in these personal, yet universal, musings about faith, work, and love. The Journals of Jim Elliot is a wonderful account of the life of a man who yearns to know God’s plan for his life, details his fascinating missions work, and loves Elisabeth first as a single man, then as a happily married one.
The Journals of Jim Elliot will intrigue fans of Jim and Elisabeth Elliot, readers interested in missions, and young people struggling to find God’s plan for their lives.
