Overview:
The 1960s and '70s were a time of upheaval and dramatic change in America. In the middle of protests, the sexual revolution, political intrigue, civil rights, and the rise of the baby boomer generation, God touched many young people in the Jesus Revolution. Also called the Jesus Movement, this work of God transformed hippies into evangelists and drug addicts into pastors and worship leaders. It serves as a reminder that no generation is hopeless and that God is always at work.
