By: Greg Laurie, Ellen Vaughn

Narrated by: Nan McNamara

Length: 7 hrs and 35 mins

Publisher's summary

God has always been interested in turning unlikely people into his most fervent followers. Prostitutes and pagans, tax collectors and tricksters. The more unlikely, the more it seemed to please God and to demonstrate his power, might, and mercy. America in the 1960s and 1970s was full of unlikely people - men and women who had rejected the stuffy religion of their parents' generation, who didn't follow the rules, didn't fit in. The perfect setting for the greatest spiritual awakening of the 20th century.

With passion and purpose, Greg Laurie and Ellen Vaughn tell the amazing true story of the Jesus Movement, an extraordinary time of mass revival, renewal, and reconciliation. Setting fascinating personal stories within the context of one of the most tumultuous times in modern history, the authors draw important parallels with our own time of spiritual apathy or outright hostility, offering hope for the next generation of unlikely believers - and for the next great American revival.

Those who lived through the Jesus Revolution will find here an inspiring reminder of the times and people that shaped their lives and faith. Younger listeners will discover a forgotten part of recent American history and, along with it, a reason to believe that God is not finished with their generation.

Great history of early Calvary Chapel

This is a great read, it's a history of the late 60's and early 70's, popular political and social culture, as well as the Jesus Movement. The narrator is allright, though I was wishing it was Mr. Laurie, it wouldn't have sounded right with the perspective of the book. It's a lot of fun.

Good read!

Since I am from that era, I enjoyed reading Greg's story entwined with the history of the Jesus Revolution.

Churchianity.

I heard about the movie based on this book. I decided to read it before seeing it. I was born in the late 70s, raised in the church, and raised in the rural South. This book was thought provoking and convicting in many ways. I liked the historical aspects of the book that were woven into the story of our country’s latest Great Awakening. The ideas about enculturation and exclusion within faith bodies are things I will be praying about and pondering for the foreseeable future. Can we have another awakening? Absolutely. Am I prohibiting its arrival?

Inspiring

Great for all those of Faith. Great for renewing your faith. Finding out you are not alone. Never give up. Jesus is everything. Can’t wait to see Jesus

Love this book

I watched the movie and it’s the best movie I’ve ever watched so I wanted to read the book. This writing is very inspiring and gives me hope that I could get to experience a Jesus Revolution. I was a little girl when the Jesus Revolution was going on and with the help of this book I can remember a lot about it. This book has encouraged me.

Amazing

Amazing story that I knew very little of, despite being a teenager when the revolution began and grew to surprising proportions.

Excellent and Enlightening

This was one of the best books I've listened to. It not only taught me things I didn't know, it was exceptionally enlightening. 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Great listen

This is a great listen! I never realized all this went on in the 60-70’s.

Fascinating History of the Jesus Movement

An important contribution that dives into the rise of this subculture during a transitional period of American history, and explains the impact that is still felt today.

Absolute must read

Amazing book I couldn’t quit listening to it! Can’t wait for the movie our Church already filled one theatre room!
