Beatles, Bible, and Bodega Bay: A Long and Winding Road

The Beatles, the Bible, and Bodega Bay present two distinct portraits: the young man in London, standing atop the Apple building (and on top of the world!), as he watches the Beatles perform for the last time, and the older man on a remote Sonoma beach, kneeling and gazing out to sea, deep into the heart of his Creator.

This book has been recognized as a #1 Best Selling Beatles Book on Amazon.com and has been praised by senior editors as the #2 "Books About the Beatles" on the same platform, with the Beatles Anthology listed as the #1 title.

The book has received glowing reviews from various media outlets. Barnes&Noble.com's Kevin Giordano noted the "Lennonesque" quality of the author's soul-searching, with "astonishingly clear and vivid" tales. Amazon.com's Gail Hudson lauded the "writing talent and depth of personal story" that make this spiritual memoir truly captivating. The Fox News Channel described it as "a fabulous book about the Fab Four" that is both historical and a must-have.

Publishers Weekly, in its June 2000 review, commended the author for "eschewing the usual druggy histories of musicians" and delivering a book that is "more philosophical than tell-all," while still providing enough "tidbits to satiate any Beatle maniac." The Library Journal, in its August 2000 review, described the book as a "ruminative and ultimately very personal journey through a man's life and his personal relationships with each member of the Fab Four."

The Washington Post, in its October 2000 review, praised the account as a "warm-hearted look at an exciting period, related by an observer who was often at the right place at the right time."

It is important to note that the author, out of his personal relationship, respect, and loyalty to Apple and the Beatles, sought all necessary official and personal approvals from Capitol, Apple, and each of the Beatles, including Yoko on John's behalf. At the time of the original release, the author was informed that this book, outside of the Beatles' own Anthology, was the only one approved by them. Consistent with that same respect, there have been no changes or updates to the content; the thoughts and events presented are exactly as they were happening then, offering a unique insider's look at a time that will never exist again.
