"If you loved the movie, Jesus Revolution, you will find equal hope and inspiration in Becoming Jesus People, Vol. 2. These true stories feature 1970s wanderers and seekers who encounter Jesus for themselves, discovering freedom and love at a radical nontraditional church in Eugene, Oregon. The book also gives a poignant peek into the history of Faith Center's pastor, a man named Roy Hicks, Jr. This is a treat for all those who experienced that era, and a reminder for anyone else that God's work is never done."

“The testimonies in this book are very powerful, they transported me back to my own time in the 70s running a house that helped support young hippies in their new faith in Christ as was simultaneously happening in Eugene, Oregon as this book shares. Carissa has a talent for telling people’s stories. The collection she’s compiled in this book will encourage your faith and give insight to that historical move of God I have yet to see the likes of again. Young and mature alike will find an exciting read within this book’s pages and come away in awe of how God can transform any life.”

"Carissa Gobble’s first book, Becoming Jesus People, created huge momentum into Volume 2. Wow. I was in tears reading the Prologue of Carissa’s heartfelt appreciation of where God had planted her to be for such a time as this. You can clearly see the Lord’s footprint in her life all because of her “yes” to do such an undertaking as this one. She has brilliantly captured the stories of a movement in the past that catapulted us into the future we now reside in. The stories within this book will move you, touch you, change you, and bring you insight into where people were and where they are now. Becoming Jesus People, Volume 2, is powerful, and Carissa Gobble was entrusted by God to bring these stories from the unseen to the seen. Well done!"

“Employing the same interview approach she and Riley Taylor used in Volume One of Becoming Jesus People, Carissa Gobble has assembled another collection of delightful and powerful firsthand testimonies, this time involving people who were early disciples of Roy Hicks, Jr., pastor of Faith Center in Eugene, Oregon. Deriving from the early years of Faith Center, the testimonies, which include some of Roy’s story and the testimony of his wife, Kay, capture well the rich simplicity and core spiritual practices of those days.”

“While discussing the project of this book with a friend and reminiscing on those amazing days we experienced, she said it really can’t be articulated in words and that is true. That is why the style of writing Carissa takes in this book I enjoy because it is not so much about the accuracy of details but is told from what could be interpretation of the thoughts and feelings we went through being caught up in the only true revival in generations, in the U.S. anyways. Hopefully reading this can spark a hunger in our hearts to see God move again in this powerful way.”
