Jesus Revolution

Jesus Revolution
How God Transformed an Unlikely Generation and How He Can Do It Again Today
(Baker, 2018)

WHO: Greg Laurie, senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship, and Ellen Vaughn, a best-selling author and former VP of executive communications for Prison Fellowship.

THEY SAY: “The Jesus Revolution is not just a one-time, dramatic upheaval. It is also the process of an ongoing relationship with God.”

THE BIG IDEA: While recounting stories of the Jesus Movement, particularly from the personal perspective of Greg Laurie, this book also offers parallels with the time we are living in now.

THE PROGRESSION:
This book is broken into chapters that detail the history of the Jesus Movement with personal insight, humor and purpose.

“In a weary, chaotic, selfie-satiated culture, we need a big, ravishing, transcendent, and transformational vision of who God really is.”
