Greg Laurie: From lost boy to Jesus freak

"Lost Boy: The Documentary" features footage of Laurie's past and his conversion to Christianity during Southern California's Jesus Movement as well as music from the hippie era. It also shows Chuck Smith, founder of Calvary Chapel, leading thousands of young people, including Laurie, to Jesus Christ at that time.

"I can't change my past," Laurie said. "But I don't have to be controlled by my past either.

"God had a plan for me even though I was illegitimate because there are no illegitimate children in the eyes of God. No child is a mistake. I never had an earthly father, but one day, I discovered I had a Father in heaven."

"Lost Boy: The Documentary," presented by New Revolution Entertainment and Harvest Films, is available on DVD and is also in book form.
