Serve the People

“Serve the People is political satirist Charlie Lehman at his best. His main character, Martin Luther Klein, is a 1970s Berkeley, California ‘Everyman.’ Through the gritty lenses of Klein’s kaleidoscope-colored glasses, the reader captures a glimpse of a remarkable era of political and spiritual revolution. ‘Power to the People!’”


—Jeanne DeFazio, author, editor, and educator





“Charlie Lehman was a chief playwright and director for the legendary Berkeley Street Theatre ministry of the Christian World Liberation Front during the Jesus Movement. He brings those skills and the same vibrancy and fresh picture language to this exciting, hard-hitting story.”


—William David Spencer, author of Name in the Papers





“Lehman’s accounts in print now provide insights into the colorful, bazaar-like atmosphere of Berkeley and Oakland during the seventies’ Jesus, counter-culture, and anti-war movements.”


—A. James Bernstein, Orthodox Christian priest





“The story evolves well, as we join Marty on his everyday adventures as a process server. Having been a criminal defense attorney for so many years, I was jazzed to see the realism in his encounters. . . . I heartily endorse this heartfelt and delightful story!”


—Bernice Hernandez, retired criminal defense attorney
