I enjoyed reading Lennon，Dylan， Alice and Jesus。 I learned things I had either forgotten or didn't know。 Pastor Laurie's book brought me back to my teen years in the late 60's。 I so enjoyed the music of the 50's-70's。 Heck， I never smoked weed but enjoyed Elvis， Dylan， and Alice C。， Chicago （my favorite）， Doors， Steely Dan，。。。 I glad that "seeds" were planted （Jesus Christ Superstar） and others。 I lived through Vietnam， Woodstock， and so much more and still I got saved in '75。 I attended a South I enjoyed reading Lennon，Dylan， Alice and Jesus。 I learned things I had either forgotten or didn't know。 Pastor Laurie's book brought me back to my teen years in the late 60's。 I so enjoyed the music of the 50's-70's。 Heck， I never smoked weed but enjoyed Elvis， Dylan， and Alice C。， Chicago （my favorite）， Doors， Steely Dan，。。。 I glad that "seeds" were planted （Jesus Christ Superstar） and others。 I lived through Vietnam， Woodstock， and so much more and still I got saved in '75。 I attended a Southern Baptist College （thankfully not The University of Saigon）and got to see Ricky Nelson in person （Who？） The book is a good read for anyone my age interested in learning facts and remembering these artists of the past。 Thank you Pastor Laurie for reminding me of those days。 I still love listening to the Oldies。 I do listen to Christian music as well！ LOLKevin Carr 。。。more

I have been a major fan of rock ‘n’ roll ever since seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show when I was young， and the book “Dylan， Lennon， Alice and Jesus” written by Greg Laurie checks all the boxes for me。 This book is not just about the lives， music， and spiritual journeys of Bob Dylan， John Lennon， and Alice Cooper。 It also discusses the struggles of members in other amazing rock groups over the years， including Buffalo Springfield， Grand Funk Railroad， Foreigner， Kansas and many others！ I have been a major fan of rock ‘n’ roll ever since seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show when I was young， and the book “Dylan， Lennon， Alice and Jesus” written by Greg Laurie checks all the boxes for me。 This book is not just about the lives， music， and spiritual journeys of Bob Dylan， John Lennon， and Alice Cooper。 It also discusses the struggles of members in other amazing rock groups over the years， including Buffalo Springfield， Grand Funk Railroad， Foreigner， Kansas and many others！ I also enjoyed the summaries of musicians and music over the decades from the 1950s to current time。After achieving great wealth and fame， many of these stars discovered an emptiness in their hearts that was not satisfied by their lavish lifestyles。 It was only filled by inviting Jesus into their lives and trusting Him。 Their newfound faith enabled them to enjoy the peace and tranquility of life with God。I hope other readers will enjoy this intimate view of the spiritual journeys of these musical geniuses as much as I did！ 。。。more

This book is well written with detailed research and documentation that authenticates the real life journey of John Lennon， Bob Dylan and Alice Cooper。 The book accurately depicts the real life struggles， addictions and excesses that brought these men to their senses and to their knees to question the afterlife， the Bible， Jesus and the truism of heaven。 Greg Laurie authenticates the lives of these men and how these talented superstars were heavily influenced by the Rock and Roll music industry This book is well written with detailed research and documentation that authenticates the real life journey of John Lennon， Bob Dylan and Alice Cooper。 The book accurately depicts the real life struggles， addictions and excesses that brought these men to their senses and to their knees to question the afterlife， the Bible， Jesus and the truism of heaven。 Greg Laurie authenticates the lives of these men and how these talented superstars were heavily influenced by the Rock and Roll music industry of the 1960s from childhood and how each rose to superstar status to ultimately find no satisfaction and an empty lifestyle。 Greg Laurie digs deep into their real life journey and how each step of the way， whether through family， friends， church or others， each person came to question the meaning of life and where it all ultimately leads， steering them all back to their spiritual center in Jesus Christ， the Bible and the Gospel message of salvation and eternal hope in Christ。 Great insights from Pastor Greg Laurie， who has done an excellent job researching these talented musicians and their real life journey， struggles， addictions， excesses and spiritual search for truth。 Highly recommended reading to any student of Rock and Roll music seeking to gain great insights into the Spiritual biography of Rock and Roll。 All the best to future readers seeking truth。 。。。more
