One of the great revivals with the most people and the widest area of geography occurred in the Sixties and Seventies. I was fortunate to have been swept up in that revival and it continues to bless me and millions of others around the world.
If you were one of the people touched by the Holy Spirit during the Jesus Revolution leave a comment and let us know what happened. The Jesus Revival began in 1958 for me so I bloomed early, possibly because I am older than the Boomers. My Generational Cohort, called The Silents" goes from 1928 to 1945 and the Boomers came along after WWII in 1946.

Many of The Silent Generation were also touched by God but for some reason He chose to focus on The Boomers as His Chosen Generation, maybe because there are so many of you. (Some 77 million)
Here is a summary of the age cohorts:
