The Beatles, God, & the Bible
(Hardcover, 267 pages)
Not too many people know that John Lennon met Paul McCartney while at a church function, or that John was a choirboy. Nor do they know that at the height of their fame in 1965, all four Beatles professed to be atheists. Yet in 1980 John had moved from proudly stating that they were more popular than Jesus, to humbly saying. “I’m a most religious fellow . . . I was brought up a Christian and I only now understand some of the things that Christ was saying in those parables.” As a young man, George Harrison wrote, “I want to find God. I’m not interested in material things, this world, fame — I’m going for the real goal.” Later in life Ringo said, “For me, God is in my life. I don’t hide from that.” In the 1990’s Paul said, “I’m not religious, but I’m very spiritual.” He prayed for his wife when she was having trouble giving birth to their daughter, and his 2001 song “Freedom” spoke of freedom as “a right given by God.” He also said, “God wouldn’t have given us tears if He didn’t want us to cry.”
Little has been said of the spiritual side of the world’s most famous music group. The Beatles, God, & the Bible changes that with its unique and fascinating insight into the spirituality of the Fab Four.
Foreword by Ken Mansfield; executive at Capitol Records, and the first U.S. manager of the Beatles’ Apple Records.
“Once again I am amazed and overjoyed at Ray Comfort’s God-given ability to take the Gospel from the chapel and the lecture hall to the streets. This really is a book about the Beatles . . . This really is a book about the Gospel . . . This really is a book about the inescapable reality of God, eternity, mortality, and the person of Jesus Christ.” Paul Washer
“Ray Comfort is a dear friend of the AFA family. He is a man of wit, keen intellect and deep biblical insight, a combination that always makes his writing and other projects powerful, convicting and inspirational. Opening a window into the inner spiritual lives of the members of the Beatles – a once-in-a-lifetime, transformational group – is a brilliant idea. But that’s what we have come to expect from Ray.” Tim Wildmon, President of the American Family Association and American Family Radio

Audacity: A Novel
Paperback | 190 pages
Based on the movie by RAY COMFORT. Novelization by JULIA ZWAYNEPeter is an aspiring comedian encouraged by his friend Ben to perform at the local comedy club. But stage fright isn’t Peter’s only fear. When confronted with one of today’s most divisive issues, he feels compelled to speak, but can he? Challenged by his coworker Diana to defend his convictions about homosexuality and gay marriage, will he have the courage to stand for what he believes—even at the risk of losing a friendship? And how will he respond when faced with a harrowing life-or-death experience? Audacity uses a unique approach to address a very sensitive subject in contemporary society. Regardless of your views on homosexuality, you’ll gain fresh insights and a new perspective.
If you enjoyed the movie, you will love the book as it fills in the background of its leading characters. You will also find out why it was that Peter so struggled to do stand-up. Something happened in his youth that almost scarred him for life. You will discover why Diana was like she was, as well as the traumatic experience that brought Ben to the foot of the cross. However, this book wasn’t written to solve little mysteries or just for your entertainment. It was written so that you would have something nonthreatening to give to friends, family members, workmates, and strangers, that will bring them under the sound of the biblical gospel.
“I thoroughly enjoyed this fast paced easy read with a modern-day message for all of us! Ray once again doesn’t disappoint. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but now I really want to.”
“Peter and Ben have an incredible dialogue in the book, which is completely missing in the movie. Photos from the movie are included, as well as an insightful interview with Ray Comfort about his decision to make the movie. He responds to questions you may also be asking about Christians and homosexuality. I saw the movie first and then read the book, but now, with the added plot information, I want to go back and see the movie again.”
