Yes, I vaguely remember, during high school, reading that book by Nikki Cruz, "Run, Baby, Run," which involves his prior life as a Puerto Rican gangster running scared. In the book, if you read the story, you will know that eventually he gets saved, and turns his life over to the Lord, and stops running with the gangs, which is a good thing. Some people need to hear about how people's lives can be radically reformed for the better thanks to the Teen Challenge program, that anti-gang program which is so widely promoted in various books also written by David Wilkerson. So that's nice, although I never met him personally.
That is nice, although that has nothing to do with my life. I was never a gang member and do not know anything about that. From reading books to we learn enough to know that a mara (gang) is a bitter thing, although we already knew that anyway. But we do not have to go out and do that because we are literates. And the illiterates just do whatever the literates say.
