Title: Christian Propaganda
Review: I have a VERY hard time believing that many parts of this "memoir" are true. I am sure he had a rough time and was from a rough neighborhood but the book is littered with Christian speak and rings really inauthentic and manipulative to say the least. Nicky Cruz would have us believe that a minister came in to the ghetto and brought the heads of every gang to their knees in prayer on the street after preaching for just a few minutes, then somehow gets EVERY gang memeber in Brooklyn to attend a tent revival. Where are the people from The Smoking Gun, It smells like some major embellishing to me. Not to mention the writing style is dated and pretty sophomoric. There are alot of typos and grammatical errors and it pretty much feels like it's been written by someone who writes for The Watch Tower magazine.Hey I'm all for a good redemption story but this one just feels like propaganda, if you want to read a good gang redemption story, read a book called Monster.
Is the review positive or negative?
