The Genesis of The Jesus Freaks

Jesus People is essential reading for anyone interested in the Jesus Movement that began in the late 1960's. Jesus People tells the story of the genesis of the Jesus Freak Movement and The Hollywood Free Paper in a straight forward, heartfelt way (a movement that resulted in the Vineyard and Calvary Chapel and countless other churches). The street language of the late 60's and early 70's is appropriate for telling this story as Koine Greek was for telling a similar story 2000 years ago. I was only 13 when I discovered Jesus Freaks in Old Town Los Gatos, California. And just like Duane Pederson describes in his book, one of these Jesus People with long hair and purple velvet bell bottoms walked right up to me and started talking about Jesus in the hippest most appealing way. There are some nice photographs too. Especially one of Larry Norman, the man someone (one of the guys in DC Talk I believe) called the "Original Jesus Freak." I did not give Jesus People five stars because I think it is a great work of literature. I gave it five stars because Pederson's active love and respect for the outcasts of the world is obvious on every page. And, in a mere 128 pages, Duane Pederson recreated for me the world of the Jesus People Movement that I remember.
