Strangely enough, all the books that changed my life were novels. I wonder how many people here will say "The Bible", and "Nineteen-Eighty-Four".

Not sure i'd say the story of WW2 vet James Patterson

Sounds really interesting! Who's the author?

[Avicenna]

It's edited by Michael Ruse and Joseph Travis. It's a gem of a book.

Run baby run the Nicky Cruz story

[Jena-Min]

That sounds really interesting! What are its main themes?

[Iron_Man]

It’s about a street thug from Puerto Rico living in the streets of New York and he became a gang member to a very vicious violent street gang. Then a Christian preacher kept working and working on him until he finally got his head together and left the gang. His whole life turned around and he became a born-again Christian and got into the Christian preaching. I had written him as a child and he wrote me back twice
