Acknowledgement

It has been an honored to work on this project and I couldn’t have done it without the people who have availed themselves to help me put it together. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to Dr. Jeannine Relly for guiding and helping me through every stage of this project. I would also like to thank Ruxandra Guidi for her comments and suggestions.

I would like to give a special thanks to the people who were involved in The Jesus Movement for entrusting me to tell their stories : Sandi Heefner, Steve Heefner, David Grisanti, Ken Ortize, Lambert Dolphin, Ed Weyman, Kathy Gilbert and Stephen Gilbert. Additionally, I would like to thank John J. Thompson for the history lesson on the Jesus Music and Mark Roberts for taking the time to share some of his experiences with me.

Lastly, I would like to thank Reverend Francis Banfro for introducing me to the Jesus Music and Bishop Henry Asare-Duah for encouraging me in everything that I do.
