How did Nicky Cruz put Jesus' teachings into practice?

Answer 1

I first read Nicky Cruz's Run Nicky Run when I was in my early teens. It made a lasting impression on me and I still remember the book vividly as an adult. There was no real magic except of course the Holy Spirit that turned Cruz's life around from a member of a street gang earmarked for early death to a life in service of the salvation of others. It took a young street minister and a sinful and dead-end life to turn young Cruz to the Lord. In turn, he was saved and went on to become a young street minister himself. No doubt Cruz has helped to save untold numbers of young people that he himself used to be.
