Prologue: plunging in -- What was it and why does it matter? -- A black-and-white decade -- The wonderful world of color -- The pastor who downscaled -- The bi-in, the summer of love, and a nudist vegetarian hippie -- Miracle in the Middle East -- 1968: and the wind began to howl -- When Nitro met Glycerin -- Meanwhile, in Malaysia -- Magnificent desolation -- The long and winding road -- The adult in the room -- Jesus magic -- Life as usual, inside the revolution -- No bare feet allowed! -- "Yes, that Jesus!" -- Love story -- Billy Graham's good vibrations -- The church of stone -- If you can explain it, then God didn't do it -- Hippie preachers -- Malaise and the me decade -- Tea or revolution? -- Burning it down -- Muscle memory -- Desperate enough -- Cultural Christianity is dead: rest in peace -- Mere revival -- Epilogue: plunging in, all over again -- Acknowledgments -- Notes.
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 readers 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." -- Amazon.com.
