When Jesus Met Hippies: The Story and Legacy of the Jesus People Movement in the UK

Summary

Many books have been written on the Jesus People movement in the United States, but what about its impact in the United Kingdom?

By discovering the interaction between different characters and groups from across the Atlantic, experience an immersive retelling of the successes and failures that led to an enduring legacy. How did this new breed of Christians radically live out their faith and evangelize the youth of the United Kingdom in the 1960s and '70s? And how might it inspire fresh revival in the different yet equally chaotic era we live in today?
