5.0 out of 5 stars From someone who was there during it all..., April 26, 2004

By A Customer

I leafed thorugh this work and really started to weep because it really brought some great feelings back. This was such a great time to be a Christian. I grew up at Calvary Chapel, and really appreciated the faith that began way back when... so, anything that tells about that time, I am all for it. God bless those who perservered from 30 years ago and are still walking with the Lord.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating Journey, February 26, 2000

By	Jon Trott (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

As a current member of one ministry which came from the Jesus movement era, and as someone who observed the author's careful attempts at documenting that time, I can heartily recommend this book as an invaluable resource for both historians and those who merely "want to know how it was." The revival was messy, painful, glorious, and ultimately transforming for the American Church and beyond. "The Jesus Movement" captures both the sadness and the joy, following God's move through very frail and human vessels. Most highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great historical information on a transforming movement, June 30, 2000

By	Glenn M Cross (14895 Mykinda Place, Hughesville, MD 20637 USA) - See all my reviews

I have read David's work on the web and find it very detailed and now look forward to a hard copy. He provides great coverage in an exhaustive way on a movement from which I found the real Jesus in 1973, a Jesus of the Bible who has been with me and transforming me daily over these 27 years! I wish I still had my jean jacket with "Jesus Saves" embroidered on the back that I wore as an 11th grader in my high school. PTL!
