Description:
This book is a retrospective and model for the postmodern church for revival and reform containing actual primary source quotations from all those involved. It is a unique primary source history of Jesus Movement reflections and not just another secondary book. There is nothing like it available on this seminal, significant, and influential ministry.

Review Quotes: "In the 1970s, I experienced the love of God and the move of the Holy Spirit in the Charismatic Movement of the Catholic Church. As a Hispanic American of Puerto Rican descent, I recommend this book to millennial Christians of every color because the Christian World Liberation Front modeled interracial harmony and promoted a multicultural society."
--Martha Reyes, founder, The Hosanna Foundation
"As a child, I felt the presence of God attending Jesus Movement churches as believers poured their hearts out in worship edifying the community and softening the hearts of unbelievers. I wholeheartedly endorse this book as Jesus moved and sent a spiritual awakening in my life during the Jesus Movement that continues in my ministry today."
--Gemma Wenger, pastor, Gemma Wenger Ministries, Inc.
"I lived my life among the rich and famous until I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior during the Jesus Movement! After my conversion, I brought inmates in the Los Angeles County Jail to Jesus. I recommend this book because the Christian World Liberation Front members' testimonies of Jesus changing lives hit home."
--Jozy Pollock, author of Backstage Pass to Heaven
"I am an Academy Award-winning movie producer in Hollywood from an orthodox Jewish background. My career was going great, but my soul was perishing until I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior during the Jesus Movement. I am endorsing this book because the testimonies ring true."
--Aaron Ezra Mann, Academy Award-winning producer
