About the Book
"A nationally best-selling author and pastor draws lessons of hope and transformation in the perils of excess, the agonies of repentance, and the wonder of redemption found in the life stories of several icons of pop music and rock and roll."--Publisher's description.Book Synopsis
A nationally best-selling author and pastor draws lessons of hope and transformation in the perils of excess, the agonies of repentance, and the wonder of redemption found in the life stories of several icons of pop music and rock and roll. From the author of Johnny Cash: The Redemption of an American Icon and Steve McQueen: The Salvation of an American Icon comes Lennon, Dylan, Alice, and Jesus, which traces the journeys, rise, fall, and sometimes the redemption of famous entertainers who were brought to their knees--a great place to look up and finally meet their Maker. Lennon, Dylan, Alice, and Jesusexamines wretched excess, self-absorption and miraculous redemption; the book is a raw, sensitive, and unforgettable journey of sex, drugs, rock and roll, and sweet salvation. Author Greg Laurie traces the lives of rock stars and entertainment figures and legends who wallowed in the decadence of both the high life and low life, as they alternately experienced Heaven and Hell on Earth. He travels with them into their demonic abysses and joyfully chronicles their ultimate ascension to their prodigal moments. Lennon, Dylan, Alice, and Jesuschronicles the birth of rock and roll in the mid-1950s to today, giving the book an all-encompassing study of pop music history. Through his personal memories, coupled with his carefully crafted observational research, Greg Laurie not only looks deeply into the hearts and souls of these unusual people but bids the reader to join him on a spiritual journey down the secluded halls of the music industry with the individuals who crafted modern-day masterpieces. Readers will enjoy never-before-published accounts of the biggest recording artists of our time and hear testimonies from rockers of the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and beyond. More importantly, every reader will find a deeper sense of God's presence, even in times of loneliness and desolation.About the Author

Fantastic! In his latest book, Lennon, Dylan, Alice, and Jesus, Greg Laurie does an amazing job of capturing the history and evolution of rock and roll while tying-in the larger questions of faith that we all ponder. For those of us who grew up in the 60's and 70's, it is a nostalgic walk down memory lane but adding fascinating research into the background of major rock stars and the history of the industry itself. For those who did not grow up in the era, it is a must read! Offering a rare and accurate perspective on a musical and spiritual movement of the time. This book entertains while bringing home the larger questions of faith and purpose in our lives. Revealing how even these huge rock stars struggled with these age old questions, helps put it all in perspective. Reading this book will inspire, entertain and educate but, most importantly, it helps us break through the noise of the world and tap into our higher purpose and calling.
