The Legacy of John Lennon: Charming or Harming a Generation?

Multi-millionaire rock star John Lennon, killed at age 40, typified the blatantly anti-Christian influences of many rock entertainers. A dedicated socialist, he nevertheless had accumulated vast sums of wealth while promoting "progressive" social causes. When Lennon died, he left behind a cultural legacy bedded in paganism and wedded to hedonism. The Soviet Union mourned his passing. What is the truth about John Lennon? Was he, indeed, a champion of social causes? Or was he an enemy of traditional morality? David Noebel is convinced that Lennon's influence - though often touted in behalf of freedom, justice, peace, and love - has had a devastating effect on American youth and Western values. Noebel has collected an impressive body of evidence to support this position, and his sources extend beyond the expected circle of like-minded conservatives. Noebel quotes extensively from entertainers and secular media to expose the cultural threat engendered by this musical propaganda. "Do we want to live under a biblical code which combines love, sex, and morality?" challenges Noebel. "Or do we wish to replace this with a 'freer' moral code under which everyone is free to do his or her own thing? This is the crux of the matter. A choice between two lifestyles based on widely differing world views" --- from book's dustjacket
