This book depicts the life of Cookie Rodriguez who had a rough life. She was tough growing up on the streets and had an attitude no one could conquer. She goes through many obstacles from gangs to drug abuse etc., but eventually overcomes those obstacles.

This book is a powerful book.
I first read it when I was 16yrs old at Teen Challenge it made me cry and the Demons didn't like it.
I am off heroin now with 3 children Jesus Christ set me free.

"Please Make Me Cry!" written by Cookie Rodriquez was one of the first Christian testimony books I read after first becoming a Christian back in 1981.

Cookie wrote her book in 1977 in the days when David Wilkerson, founder of Teen Challenge reached out to gang member, Nickie Cruz and others. Cookie eventually went on to graduate from Brooklyn's Teen Challenge.

This book had a profound impact on my life and I feel it is truly one of the greatest Christian testimony books written to date. It inspired me so much that I wrote one myself years later entitled, "Once Life Matters: A New Beginning".

I first read this book when i was 11 years old. Yah I know kind of an adult read. I fell in love with cookie and did not wantto return this book to the library. Over the years the story stuck with me when I finaly found the book in stock I was estatic I have told everyone at work to read this book its so good
