Jesus Revolution Bible Study Book

Discover a reason to believe that God is not finished with today's generation.

God has always been interested in turning unlikely people into his most fervent followers. Prostitutes and pagans, tax collectors and tricksters. The more unlikely, the more it seemed to please God and to demonstrate his power, might, and mercy. America in the 1960s and 1970s was full of unlikely people--men and women who had rejected the stuffy religion of their parents' generation, who didn't follow the rules, didn't fit in. The perfect setting for the greatest spiritual awakening of the 20th century. With passion and purpose, Greg Laurie and Ellen Vaughn tell the amazing true story of the Jesus Movement, an extraordinary time of mass revival, renewal, and reconciliation. Setting fascinating personal stories within the context of one of the most tumultuous times in modern history, the authors draw important parallels with our own time of spiritual apathy or outright hostility, offering hope for the next generation of unlikely believers--and for the next great American revival. Those who lived through the Jesus Revolution will find here an inspiring reminder of the times and people that shaped their lives and faith. Younger readers will discover a forgotten part of recent American history and, along with it, a reason to believe that God is not finished with their generation.

The story of Jesus cannot be contained in a history of 33 years on an ancient strip of land along the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. The group of 120 followers Jesus empowered transformed the world with the good news of redemption and reconciliation he preached. In this journey through the book of Acts, discover the leaps of faith taken by the early church to spread the news of the miracles they'd witnessed and the message they'd received. Their story carries us—his current followers—into our future. Their devotion and perseverance challenges us to step out in faith and make a difference in Jesus' name. We can experience Jesus' presence and power as the early church did, and be part of the ongoing movement to change the world with his revolutionary message. http://www.cokesbury.com/media/video/abingdonpress/LeithsInterview.asx

Canada has a destiny! This nation, founded on the principles of God, has been marked for a glorious end-time purpose. The time is now! We may look around and see the rise of evil, false gods, and blatant sin but God sees something different-He sees the fullness of time for Canada. A sound has been released by the Spirit of God, a call to action, a call to destiny, a call to revolution-a Jesus revolution! Natural revolutions are violent, bloody, and costly. A Jesus revolution is a revolution of love but it too is costly. There is no greater love than the laying down of one life for another. Christ did it for us and He invites us to join Him- to take up our cross and follow Him. The Church must arise! Canada's Jesus Revolution studies the prophetic significance of the book of Esther, using it as a guidebook for action. Embedded in the story are Kingdom strategies that map out ten distinct phases of transformation within a nation. In order for these phases to be activated there must be a catalyst: a fully awake, fully engaged, fully surrendered Bride who is willing to affect change from the inside out. God is calling forth such a Bride within Canada. He is calling forth the lovers, the servants, the warriors- He is calling forth the revolutionaries! It may be that you have come to the Kingdom for such a time as this!

Engage in the work of Jesus and His Church in new and exciting ways. In the book of Acts, we see God’s church growing and taking shape—setting itself apart from the culture of hatred and excess surrounding it and becoming a revolution of hope to a broken world. Today, we are writing the last chapter of Acts in our own lives… In this six-week Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Randy Frazee will guide you through this “revolution of faith.” You’ll trace the unlikely growth of the movement, as recorded in the book of Acts, from a marginalized man in Nazareth (Jesus), to twelve marginalized men from Galilee (the disciples), to the regions of Judea and Samaria, and ultimately to the ends of the earth—encompassing some 2.4 billion followers of Jesus today.
