Nicky Cruz's classic testimony is still a compelling read 30 years after its first publication. A childhood overshadowed by spiritualism in a Puerto Rican home preceded a harsh and violent adolescence as the leader of one of New York's toughest street gangs. Chilling scenes of knife fights, torture and murder dominated the life of a young man proud and feared on the outside, but inwardly running scared. His fears and loneliness were brought to the surface through an encounter with preacher David Wilkerson, who led Cruz to open his life to Christ - an incredible conversion that amazed all who knew him.
In the forty years that have passed since coming to Christ, Nicky Cruz has ministered around the world, speaking to hurting people in all walks of life. He has reached thousands of inner-city gang members as he speaks to their need from his own experience.
