Resumen del Editor
The Jesus People movement was a unique combination of the hippie counterculture and evangelical Christianity. It first appeared in the famed "Summer of Love" of 1967, in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, and spread like wildfire in Southern California and beyond, to cities like Seattle, Atlanta, and Milwaukee. In 1971 the growing movement found its way into the national media spotlight and gained momentum, attracting a huge new following among evangelical church youth, who enthusiastically adopted the Jesus People persona as their own. Within a few years, however, the movement disappeared and was largely forgotten by everyone but those who had filled its ranks.
God's Forever Family argues that the Jesus People movement was one of the most important American religious movements of the second half of the 20th-century. Not only do such new and burgeoning evangelical groups as Calvary Chapel and the Vineyard trace back to the Jesus People, but the movement paved the way for the huge Contemporary Christian Music industry and the rise of "Praise Music" in the nation's churches. More significantly, it revolutionized evangelicals' relationship with youth and popular culture. Larry Eskridge makes the case that the Jesus People movement not only helped create a resurgent evangelicalism but must be considered one of the formative powers that shaped American youth in the late 1960s and 1970s.

In 1969, in Capitol Records' Hollywood studio, a blonde-haired troubadour named Larry Norman laid track for an album that would launch a new genre of music and one of the strangest, most interesting careers in modern rock. Having spent the bulk of the 1960s playing on bills with acts like The Who, Janis Joplin, and The Doors, Norman decided that he wanted to sing about the most countercultural subject of all: Jesus.

Historia
Thelonious Monk is the critically acclaimed, gripping saga of an artist's struggle to "make it" without compromising his musical vision. It is a story that, like its subject, reflects the tidal ebbs and flows of American history in the 20th century. To his fans, he was the ultimate hipster; to his detractors, he was temperamental, eccentric, taciturn, or childlike. His angular melodies and dissonant harmonies shook the jazz world to its foundations, ushering in the birth of "bebop" and establishing Monk as one of America's greatest composers.

Rob Schenck’s extraordinary life has been at the center of the intersection between evangelical Christianity and modern politics. Attacked by partisans on both sides of the aisle, he has been called a "right-wing hate monger", the "ultimate D.C. power-broker", a "traitor", and "turncoat." Now, this influential spiritual adviser to America’s political class chronicles his controversial, sometimes troubling career in this revelatory and often shocking memoir. He reflects on his path to God, his unconscious abandonment of his principles, and his return to the convictions that guide him.

In the 1950s, a young Indianapolis minister named Jim Jones preached a curious blend of the gospel and Marxism. His congregation was racially mixed, and he was a leader in the early civil rights movement. Eventually, Jones moved his church, Peoples Temple, to northern California, where he got involved in electoral politics and became a prominent Bay Area leader. But underneath the surface lurked a terrible darkness.

The year that changed everything for the Beatles was 1966 - the year of their last concert and of Revolver, their first album created to be listened to rather than performed. This was the year the Beatles risked their popularity by retiring from live performances, recording songs that explored alternative states of consciousness, experimenting with avant-garde ideas, and speaking their minds on issues of politics, war, and religion. Music journalist and Beatles expert Steve Turner investigates the enormous changes that took place in the Beatles' lives and work during 1966.

In late 1971 John Lennon left London behind and moved to New York, eager to join a youth movement rallying for social justice and an end to the Vietnam War. Lennon was quickly embraced by radicals and revolutionaries, the hippies and Yippies at odds with the establishment. Settling in Greenwich Village, the heart of Manhattan's counterculture, the former Beatle was soon on the frontlines of the antiwar movement and championing a range of causes and issues.

On New Year's Eve, 1970, Paul McCartney told his lawyers to issue the writ at the High Court in London, effectively ending The Beatles. You might say this was the last day of the pop era. The following day, which was a Friday, was 1971. You might say this was the first day of the rock era. And within the remaining 364 days of this monumental year, the world would hear Don McLean's "American Pie", The Rolling Stones' "Brown Sugar", The Who's "Baba O'Riley", Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven", and more.

The age of the rock star, like the age of the cowboy, has passed. Like the cowboy, the idea of the rock star lives on in our imaginations. What did we see in them? Swagger. Recklessness. Sexual charisma. Damn-the-torpedoes self-belief. A certain way of carrying themselves. Good hair. Interesting shoes. Talent we wished we had. What did we want of them? To be larger than life but also like us. To live out their songs. To stay young forever. No wonder many didn't stay the course.

As Glenn Altschuler reveals in All Shook Up, the rise of rock 'n roll--and the outraged reception to it--in fact can tell us a lot about the values of the United States in the 1950s, a decade that saw a great struggle for the control of popular culture. Altschuler shows, in particular, how rock's "switchblade beat" opened up wide fissures in American society along the fault-lines of family, sexuality, and race.

Flashback to my earliest days as a believer.
God's Forever Family captures a unique time in American Christianity - the triumphs, the failures, the merits and the flaws. I loved this book, and it honestly made me long for the simple days when it was all about Jesus - no politics, no hype, no performance based expectations. Jesus loves me, God's judgement is coming, Jesus is coming soon! Simple faith for a very difficult time.
Seems like we need a new Jesus movement!

Nostalgic and informative, but poorly performed.
Having lived through the Jesus People Movement in my high school years, this book brought back, refreshed, and filled the gaps in my memories of a period that, in retrospect, defined me. Though I was saddened to relive the demise of the movement, the legacy of those incredible times continues to inspire me to this day. I was amazed to realize just how much of my half-century of lived experience since high school was a result of the Jesus People Movement.
Unfortunately, I found the reader to be unprofessional and unprepared. His mispronounced reading of proper names of well-known places was inexcusable. Much of what happened in this book took place in Marin County, California (not MARin), an incorrect pronunciation that was repeated over and over again. I can't even duplicate the sound salad he repeatedly tossed out for "Koine," the language in which the New Testament was written.
A running theme of the book was the story of Calvary Chapel. That name appears dozens and dozens of times throughout the text. Sometimes, he pronounced it correctly as "CALvary." Mostly, he pronounced it, "CAValry." The former is a place in Israel; the latter is a military group of horsemen.
The misprounced words were so ubiquitous and annoying, I stopped listening and just bought the physical book to finish reading it.
Overall, this is a well-researched and well-written book. Do yourself a favor: read this book--but don't listen to it.

Why couldn't they check the pronunciations?
The book was just as good as I expected. The narration would've been fine, if the narrator hadn't continually mispronounced names of town and cities, as well as numerous words that would be absolutely common in Jesus People culture. (Words like "koinonia," "agape," "Maranatha," "Shekinah," etc.) I wish someone had checked the pronunciations before they released the final recording.

A Groovy Happening
Would you consider the audio edition of God's Forever Family to be better than the print version?
If your life was touched by this movement or the music, you'll enjoy the story. It was an easy listen for me. So much so that I didn't mind running a few extra errands.
What did you like best about this story?
I was amazed at the depth of research the author provided to give us a detailed backstory of the Jesus Movement. This is not a light-weight, quick read.
What three words best describe Michael Butler Murray’s voice?
If you're from the West Coast, you'll have to forgive the many mispronunciations of places (Marin County, Spokane) as well as Bible words (Agape, Koinonia). It's not a big deal but over the course of a book it was distracting. It actually made me wonder if this was a text to voice production.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Don't do it! It's already been done and the results are always cheesy.

Reader needed to do research
Calvary Chapel not Calvery Chapel. The reader continually read this word incorrect throughout the book.

Fantastic book; Flawed Narration
What did you love best about God's Forever Family?
I knew almost nothing about the Jesus People Movement before listening to this book, which I was interested in after seeing it recommended as Christianity Today's Book of the Year a few years back. It was a fascinating history, tracing the origins, evolution, and sustained impact of the Jesus People Movement.
What other book might you compare God's Forever Family to and why?
A similar history of American evangelicalism that I found interesting was Molly Worthen's "Apostles of Reason"
What didn’t you like about Michael Butler Murray’s performance?
While I would recommend the book strongly, I found the narration frustrating, mostly because several words were consistently mis-pronounced. Most notably (because the Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, California is one of the key institutions upon which the book focuses), the narrator consistently pronounced "Calvary" (as in, where Jesus Christ was crucified) as "Cavalry" (as in, soldiers on horses).
Other words were mis-pronounced as well that betrayed the reality that the narrator was not familiar with the content of the book.

Very good book, marred by narration
Well written, manageable history, with deeply incompetent pronunciation. Though clear and well paced, there were so many words mispronounced - from names of towns to common Christian terminology to everyday words - I was glad to be done with it. Fortunately the book held my interest. Don't use the narration as a guide for how to pronounce words.
The text itself is engaging, and the reader had decent rhythm. I felt the ending was a bit but abrupt, and expected more detail on the long term influence and gradual petering out of the movement. Still a worthwhile read, if you can get past the bewildering reading. If this subject is of interest to you, the narration will not stand in the way of your enjoyment. I listened with ease at 1.5 x.

Incredible detail about a very important movement
Incredible detail about a very important movement! I learn a lot about a great, historic moment in Christianity, that unless you lived it, you would miss.

Solid research. Decent writing. Dismal reading.
Larry Eskridge is an excellent historian. His research was thorough and his presentation engaging. The only problem with this audiobook is the lack of professionalism in the reader. He did not do his homework in learning pronunciations. He obviously is not for familiar with evangelicalism. The most egregious and grating example is his oft repeated mispronunciation of Calvary. Without fail, he pronounces it cavalry. Biblical names and even the names of books of the Bible are often mispronounced.
