Awakenings in America and the Jesus People Movement - Paperback

by Kent Allan Philpott (Author), Katie L. C. Philpott (Editor)

America's three great awakenings are well known and documented. Kent Philpott, a hippie preacher in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury District from 1967 to 1970, makes the case that the Jesus People Movement is also a genuine outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Philpott summarizes the main aspects of America's awakenings and notes both the good and the bad of each. Neither does he spare the Jesus Movement but looks at its dark sides, which he is certain continue to impact contemporary evangelical Christianity.
