A masterful storyteller, James Wilson weaves ample historical and regional detail with intricate character development into a captivating tapestry. Part history book, part fiction, Generation is a fascinating look into the underpinnings of the Jesus movement in the tumultuous 1960s, and how the Holy Spirit, if we let Him, guides us through an often messy journey of discovery into His love and plan for us.

What a fantastic read! It is a very fast paced book with a lot of intriguing twists and turns. Nothing that happens is predictable by any means. I personally found this book to be very relateable, as what is going on today was happening in 1965. I can not wait for the second book in the series! Not to mention, I can't wait for this to become a MOVIE!!!!
