Amidst the 70s War protests, Feminist "bra burning, Sexual revolution, Hippie rebellion, New Age infusion, and Drug abuse, there arose the **Jesus Revolution** movement! Instead of going along with the cultural motto, *Tune in, turn on, drop out*, there were heard shouts of *Praise the Lord!* and worship singing accompanied with guitars, in the city parks--as well as baptisms in the fountains! The phenom took over America so much that the **Face of Jesus** even made it on the cover of TIME magazine!
So, was this all just an adjunct to the hippie culture of the 70s, or was it a genuine break-away movement that became a life of its own? And since it was Christian based, did it benefit Christianity by producing lasting commitments to the principles of the Christian religion? That is, was there:
- a rise in church attendance
- increase in spiritual worship
- more charitable giving
- unity among the church family
- establishment of new church congregations
- respect for the older generation
- change in moral life-style
- greater desire to do Bible study
- established prayer life
Was this movement a genuine, religiously beneficial phenomenon for the Christian Church? Were existing denominations edified, as well as new congregations created that enlarged the Kingdom of God? What do the registry documents of denominations reveal concerning new membership?
