Produktbeschreibung
Many books have been written on the Jesus People movement in the US, but what about its impact in the UK? When Jesus met Hippies tells the story of how this counter-cultural movement of Christians found its own expression in the UK, reshaping the lives of individuals along with the life and mission of the new churches it birthed and existing churches it impacted. Weaving in the interaction between different characters and groups across the Atlantic, successes and failures are retold and the enduring legacy considered. How did this new breed of Christians radically live out their faith and evangelise the youth of the UK in the 1960's and 70's, and how might it inspire a new revival in a different but equally chaotic cultural era?
Autorenporträt
Andrew Whitman was born in 1953. University introduced him to a hippy lifestyle, but in 1971, his siblings embraced Christianity. Drawn to a Christian rock musical in 1973, he found faith for himself. After a transformative encounter with Jesus, he immersed himself in the Bible and fellowship. His journey led to involvement in Campus Crusade for Christ, forming a Christian rock band, and ultimately, lifelong ministry.
