Summary: A "Must-Have" Guide to the Jesus People Movement
Review: "David Di Sabatino's bibliographic guide to the Jesus People Movement pulls off something exceedingly rare in the musty world of academic reference works--it manages to be an exhaustive, 'must-have' for anyone looking to research the movement, even as it provides a thought-provoking, and--this is the really hard part-- entertaining sense of retrospection for those readers who were a part of the 'Jesus Revolution' in their youth. This is an indispensable guide to a phenomenon of recent North American religious history which is only now beginning to be recognized for its widespread and lasting impact upon evangelical Christianity"--Larry Eskridge

Summary: Fascinating Journey
Review: 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.

Summary: The Jesus People Movement: An annotated Bibliography
Review: From someone who was there, I found this to be right on and meticulously done. The author captured the essence of the Sixties Jesus Movement. I heartily recommend this book to any library, historian, or collector. The bibliography is a researchers' dream. Thanks to the author.

Summary: A "Must-Have" Guide to the Jesus People Movement
Review: 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!

Summary: From someone who was there during it all...
Review: 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.

Summary: Quite the compendium of factoids!!
Review: Wow!!This thing really has a lot of citations in it, stuff I didn't even know was going on during that time... and I was there for it! Well, for some of it, anyway. Great discography section. Love those tunes from Larry Norman and the Love Song band. This brought back some great memories. Can't wait until he actually puts together a written work. I emailed him a couple of times and he says he is taking his time working on it. Can't wait!
