This book sent me back to a memory of being in the First Baptist Church of El Segundo, CA (a beach city in Southern California) sometime in the early 70s, on a Sunday night. There were hippies and congregants, young and old, gathered in the center aisle between the pews, holding hands and singing a modern Christian song (was it "We are One in the Spirit" or "It Only Takes a Spark"? - I cannot remember.). All I know is that it is a warm memory of people coming together from different backgrounds: non-churched and churched, in worship to our uniting Lord. It still gives me chills: GOD WAS IN OUR MIDST.
Who knew it was a revolution? I just saw it as a taste of heaven.
I am in tears right now. Loved reading this book and being one of those non-churched people who came to Jesus in the process.
Praise be to our wonderful LORD.
Come, Lord Jesus.
(Going to see the movie in a few hours.)

WOW. I keep hearing about this movie and I didn't know it was a book, nor did I know it was about Greg Laurie until I read the blurb & review yesterday. Did you like the movie? Sunshine
Hi Sunshine!
Yes, I did like the movie. I cried through the whole thing. I think I am going to "freewrite" in a few after my spiritual direction appointment this morning. It was a lovely experience and took me back to the late 60s.
