Jesus Revolution - Greg Laurie and Ellen Vaughn review

-

Jesus Revolution by Greg Laurie and Ellen Vaughn tells the story of the Jesus Movement, a major revival that broke out in the ‘60s and ‘70s and strongly impacted the West Coast, especially the hippie culture of the time. The book is written mostly as a biography of Laurie and his firsthand experience with the revival, Calvary Chapel, and people like Lonnie Frisbee and Chuck Smith. It also gives an overview of the ‘60s and ‘70s culture and how it is really similar to today’s culture. I highly recommend this book. 

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 


Greg Laurie is senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship, with campuses in California and Hawaii. He began his pastoral ministry at the age of 19, leading a Bible study of 30 people. Today, Harvest is one of the largest churches in America. More than 5.6 million people have attended Laurie's Harvest Crusades since 1990, and more than 500,000 people have registered professions of faith through these outreaches. Laurie is the author of more than 70 books and his daily nationally syndicated radio program, A New Beginning, is broadcast on more than 1,000 radio outlets around the world. He and his wife, Cathe, have been married for over 40 years and have two sons and five grandchildren.


Ellen Vaughn is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and inspirational speaker who has written or co-written more than 20 books. Former vice president of executive communications for Prison Fellowship, she collaborated with Chuck Colson on a number of his seminal works. A senior fellow for the 21st Century Wilberforce Initiative, she also serves on the board of directors for International Cooperating Ministries. Vaughn and her husband, Lee, live in northern Virginia. They have three grown children and two enthusiastic but clueless dogs.

Possessing The Gates Of The Enemy - Cindy Jacobs book review

-

First published in 1991, Possessing The Gates Of The Enemy has come to be known by some as a classic. The new 4th edition has been revised and contains a study guide. This edition also has new forewords by Lou Engle and the late C. Peter Wagner.  In Possessing The Gates Of The Enemy Cindy Jacobs, a prophet and intercessor, chronicles her journey as an intercessor. She also explains what intercession is, how to intercede, and how NOT to intercede. Jacobs also writes specifically to pastors, prayer leaders and other ministry leaders in certain sections of the book. This book is written for anyone, whether someone with an interest in intercession or an experienced intercessory prayer group leader looking for ways to improve their group. I highly recommend this book.  I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.   Cindy Jacobs  and her husband, Mike, are the founders of Generals International, a worldwide ministry that works to ach
