The fifth best-selling Beatles book is a Christian one: The Beatles, the Bible, and Bodega Bay, by Ken Mansfield. The United States manager for Apple Records (the Beatles' label) tells about his wonderful times with the Beatles before they broke up. Then things slowly went downhill for him. Finally, in the mid-1980s he hit bottom.

During this time, he fell in love with a lady who loved him but loved Jesus more. Because he wouldn't follow Jesus, she broke off their relationship. Ken decided he had to meet this Jesus who commanded so much of her love. He did, and he fell in love with Jesus too. Ken makes it crystal clear that as grand as it was to be with the "Fab 4," they in no way compare to Jesus.

Ken writes of the time before he knew Jesus:

They (the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) are the authors of the map I needed for my journey. I needed a chart, a journal with clear directions, a log to refer to—a guidebook wherein their commands could speak to my wandering spirit. I needed a book so powerful that its very words could burn a living message into the absolute heart of my heart. I needed the irrefutable, holy Word of God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of the very seas I was lost upon! For the greater part of my journey that began the day I set sail from the rugged shores of Northern Idaho, I had none of these.

Unfortunately, Billboard magazine was my Bible; the record charts, my God; and prestigious positions, my purpose. The Holy Grail was a Grammy, and the best table at the Brown Derby the Promised Land.
