...such electronic fashion did the current heir of Morocco's three-century-old Alouite dynasty bring home a chilling lesson to his subjects: any who rebel against him will be shot, perhaps without trial. Only two days before their deaths last week, the condemned officers had led 1,400 army cadets in an abortive coup while Hassan and 500 guests celebrated the King's 42nd birthday at a seaside party (see box).

Not so, however, for the vast majority in the Jesus movement. If any one mark clearly identifies them it is their total belief in an awesome, supernatural Jesus Christ, not just a marvelous man who lived 2,000 years ago but a living God who is both Saviour and Judge, the ruler of their destinies. Their lives revolve around the necessity for an intense personal relationship with that Jesus...
