From Gang Warlord to Evangelist: The Radical Transformation of Nicky Cruz
The story of Nicky Cruz is a visceral journey from "prison, the electric chair, and hell" to a life of global ministry. Born into a family steeped in occult spiritualism and surviving severe childhood abuse, Cruz became the notorious warlord of the Brooklyn street gang, the Mau Maus. His life took a dramatic turn when a "skinny country preacher" named David Wilkerson introduced him to a love stronger than any adversary. Now 83, Cruz continues to share his guttural and authentic story of how the Gospel broke through the walls of his heart to create a "brand new creation".
