  • "The PP Interviews:David Di Sabatino" by Michael Newnham. http://phoenixpreacher.com/cms/?p=3713
    "As for Larry, I have always been a fan of the man. His music has always been near and dear to my heart. In fact, I owe a great debt to him, as do a lot of people. His music provided the soundtrack to my early spiritual journey. For about 10 years that music was very important to me. I didn't really listen to him all that much after 1990, but when I started to turn my hand toward documentaries on this subject, he was a natural follow-up to Lonnie because of the degree of difficulty in telling the story." and ” Feel free to send me your documentary, book, painting or piece of furniture that artistically expresses your opinion." - David Di Sabatino

Accolades About David Di Sabatino

About David Di Sabatino's book "The Jesus People Movement: An Annotated Bibliography and General Resource" .

  • "With this compilation David Di Sabatino establishes himself as a leading bibliographer of religion in the 1960s, and his work sets a high bibliographic standard that will set the benchmark for a number of years."


Dr. G.E. Gorman FLA FRSA

  • "David Di Sabatino has been involved for years in collecting and chronicling the Jesus Movement. He came here to Jesus People USA and spent considerable time going through our archives and getting first hand accounts. This book is a result of those efforts.

The book starts out with an essay called "The Spiritual Sixties and the Jesus People Movement" in which he sets a framework for studying the Jesus Movement against the backdrop of the 1960s and 70s. The rest of the book is a very accessible bibliography of sources: General Resources, The Extremists (Children of God and Way Int'l), and then concludes with a Jesus Music discography. For the wider world outside of whatever enclaves may be left of the Jesus movement (like JPUSA, Calvary Chapel, and others) this is a great general introduction.

Now around the house here at JPUSA you might hear various criticisms like "How could he have left this album out of the discography?" or "The index isn't detailed enough!" But I think we'd all agree that as far as resources go, without swimming through our own library, this one is the most exhaustive available. And certainly the most organized. So if you're studying the Jesus Movement find this book. And keep watching David Di Sabatino. Maybe he'll have some more books coming out in the future. "
