Publisher's summary

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 Jesus examines 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 Jesus chronicles 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 listener to join him on a spiritual journey down the secluded halls of the music industry with the individuals who crafted modern-day masterpieces.

Listeners 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 listener will find a deeper sense of God’s presence, even in times of loneliness and desolation.

really good… but….

very enjoyable but some of the info is incorrect such as Jim Morrison’s Father was an Admiral in the Navy and not a General

Great perspective

I enjoyed this. I was surprised at how many artists I knew of, had came to Christ. To hear more of their stories, their testimonies, was inspiring. Everyone can be saved and this book, gives many examples of how that is true.

So good!

I love hearing the details of the spiritual lives of these people! What a great way to share the good news of Jesus!

Great insight to our rock legends

This is a great book. I loved hearing about how the Lord changed or touched these rock artists lives. Like another comment stated, the narrator was good but I was expecting Greg’s voice. Excellent book !!

What an amazing book!

I learned so much about the history of rock music, and how many of these artists have come to Christ. Truly a very well written book and inspirational.

I wished Greg would of narrated the book.
