Jesus Revolution

How God Transformed an Unlikely Generation and How He Can Do It Again Today

By: Greg Laurie, Ellen Vaughn

Narrated by: Nan McNamara

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 listen

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

Thank you

Thank you for helping me understand the generation my parents belonged to better. I was born in 1974. This book gave me a better understanding of the “whys” of the good, bad and ugly of Christianity that I grew up in during the 80s and 90s. As a Gen Xer I naturally struggle with cynicism… plus here in 2023 it’s the age of cynicism, I suppose… I want to be open to a revolution if it would be real and not controlled & fabricated by narcissistic leaders.

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!

Great listen!

As someone who started going to a Calvary church in college it was really neat to hear about its origins. We need Jesus, plain and simple. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, your beliefs or anything else. You are a child of God and Jesus wants that relationship with you.
