Summary
"The summer that Clay Ford lived in Berkeley, the Jesus Revolution swept through its streets, transforming the lives of students, pleasure-seekers, and addicts. This event-filled journal brings to life that unforeseen awakening. Ford, on leave from seminary, was apprehensive, unsure he could function in the street culture or relate to the young, the lonely, and the disenchanted who found a haven in Berkeley. Yet, through work in a church coffee house off Telegraph Avenue, he drew close to the street people. Struck by their hunger for love, a need that street life did not fill, Ford offered Jesus as an alternative. ... Berkeley Journal reveals Clay Ford's own spiritual growth. The author describes the inner revolution that led him to Berkeley, where he was faced with lifestyles at odds with his middle-class upbringing."--Dust jacket flap
