When Jesus Met Hippies
$21.16
Step into the mesmerizing world of the 1960s and 70s, where counterculture clashes, societal shifts, and spiritual quests set the stage for a transformation unlike any other. Embark on a captivating journey through ‘When Jesus met Hippies, ‘ a profound exploration that delves deep into the powerful ripples of the Jesus People Movement (JPM). Akin to a revival, a revolution, and a movement rolled into one, this movement turned hippies into unwavering followers of Jesus. Traversing over half a century, from the birth of the JPM to our modern era, this compelling book contemplates the enduring legacy of a heaven-sent revival that many believe had the potency to reshape faith and culture. Was it truly a revival, a spiritual awakening, or a singular movement with its own distinct identity? Step back to the colourful streets of post-war America where the JPM found its roots, led by once-hippie converts who took to the streets to share their newfound faith with kindred spirits. Set against a backdrop of a church grappling to relate to the evolving counterculture, this vibrant movement emerged, captivating headlines and hearts alike. Commune-style houses became centres of discipleship, and the fire ignited within the new believers, crossed borders, reaching Europe and beyond. ‘When Jesus Met Hippies’ adeptly navigates the multitude of perspectives that envelop the JPM. Was it a revival, steeped in centuries of spiritual tradition? Or was it a revolution, a profound upheaval of hearts and minds in sync with history’s awakenings? Scholars, historians, and participants all contribute, each vantage point revealing intricate layers. Even as the movement faded, its resonance persisted, adapting into new forms and inspiring missions that safeguarded its spirit. Zooming in, the book unravels intimate stories interwoven with the JPM – a mosaic of lives molded by its transformative power. Expanding to a wider lens, the American landscape unfolds, spotlighting the movement’s dynamic evolution. Simultaneously, across the Atlantic, a symphony of echoes blends with local melodies. ‘When Jesus Met Hippies’ beckons you to journey into history, to mull over a legacy that dared to redefine faith, culture, and community.

Act Like Jesus Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$13.99Original price was: $13.99.$9.97Current price is: $9.97.In this eight-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), pastor and author Randy Frazee explains there is a difference between simply believing something in our heads and allowing those beliefs to shape our actions and behaviors. It is not enough to think like Jesus . . . we must also act like Jesus. For this reason, once we understand what we believe, we need to yield to the direction of the Holy Spirit and allow him to lead us to those biblical practices that will bring about spiritual transformation in our lives. As we do this, the Holy Spirit will lead us to make these resolutions:
*I will worship God for who he is and for what he has done for me.
*I will pray to God to know him, find direction for my life, and to lay my requests before him.
*I will study the Bible to know God and his truth and find direction for my daily life.
*I will dedicate my life to God’s purposes.
*I will fellowship with Christians to accomplish God’s purposes in my life and in the world.
*I will seek to understand my spiritual gifts so I can use them to fulfill God’s purposes.
*I will give my resources to fulfill God’s purposes.
*I will share my faith with others to fulfill God’s purposes.Grounded in carefully selected scripture, Act Like Jesus is a churchwide discipleship program that will take you on a journey to become more like Jesus in your behaviors.

Jesus Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$12.99In this six-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), bestselling author Max Lucado explores the life and character of Jesus, helping participants become more familiar with the man at the center of the greatest story ever told. As Max explains in this study, for thirty-three years Jesus felt everything that we have ever felt: weakness, weariness, rejections. He got colds. His feelings got hurt. His feet grew tired. His head ached.
To think of Jesus in such terms almost seems irreverent. It is much easier to keep the humanity out of the incarnation. Clean up the manure from around the manger. Wipe the sweat out of his eyes. Pretend he never snored or hit his thumb with a hammer. There is something about keeping Jesus divine that keeps him distant, packaged, and predictable.
But we have to remember that by Jesus becoming human, God made it possible for us to see him and hear his voice. If we want to know what matters to God, all we need to do is look in the Bible to see what matters to Jesus. If we want to know what God is doing in our world, we need only ponder the words of Jesus. By learning more about the person Jesus was and is, we come to understand more clearly the people we were created to be.
Jesus will inspire group members to spend time at the foot of the cross and search the heart of the one who would rather die for them than live without them.
