Mafias to Christ book recommendations?

[hishandmaiden]

I just finished Run, baby, run and enjoyed it very much. Are there other Mafia to Christ biographies or autobiographies which you can recommend?

I heard Joe Donato speak in the 1970s. He was in the Mob in California, second in command. This video tells a little about him and also mentions a book written about him.

He had a prison ministry and helped build orphanages.

P.S. Are you familiar with the book The Cross and the Switchblade? True story of a country pastor that goes to New York City to work with the violent street gangs.

They also made a movie about this story.

Stories of transformation, especially those detailing a journey from a life of crime to one of faith, are profoundly moving. Michael Franzese's "Blood Covenant" and Nicky Cruz's "Run Baby Run" offer deep insights into such radical changes. When I was drafting a piece reflecting on these narratives, I turned to buy essays papers for assistance. Their expertise in structuring and refining content ensured that my reflections were both coherent and impactful.

I noticed the video I posted above about Joe Donato isn't available now. So I'm posting another one for you. I heard Joe Donato speak in the 1970s.
