**Getting Saved from the 60s: When Counter-Culture Meets Jesus**
This fascinating sociological study dives headfirst into the wild collision between 1960s counter-culture and evangelical Christianity. Tipton explores how former hippies, radicals, and spiritual seekers found their way from psychedelic enlightenment to born-again faith, examining the moral transformations and cultural shifts that followed. It's a proper deep-dive into conversion experiences, cultural change, and what happens when the Summer of Love meets Sunday service.
Perfect for sociology students, religious studies scholars, anyone fascinated by the 60s cultural revolution, or readers curious about how dramatic life changes actually work. Tipton's academic approach keeps things grounded while the subject matter stays absolutely riveting.
This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks shows some gentle wear but remains completely readable – just like the cultural movements it describes, it's got character and stories to tell.
**Reader Reviews:**
*"Brilliant analysis of how people completely reinvent themselves. Made me rethink everything about cultural identity and personal transformation."*
*"Unexpectedly gripping for an academic book. The conversion stories are genuinely moving and the cultural analysis is spot-on."*
