The Beatles, the Bible and Bodega Bay presents two portraits: the young man in London on top of 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 on his knees looking out to sea and into the heart of his Creator.

MAJOR PRESS REVIEWS
Barnes&Noble.com (Kevin Giordano)
There is something quite Lennonesque about Mansfield’s soul-searching-his tales are astonishingly clear and vivid.
Amazon.com (Gail Hudson)
It is his writing talent and depth of personal story that makes this spiritual memoir rock.
Fox News Channel
A fabulous book about the Fab Four. It’s historical and a must-have.
Publishers Weekly, June 2000
Eschewing the usual druggy histories of musicians, Mansfield delivers a book that is more philosophical than tell-all. There are enough tidbits to satiate any Beatle maniac,
Library Journal, August 2000
This is a ruminative and ultimately very personal journey through a man’s life and his personal relationships with each member of the Fab Four.
Washington Post, October 2000
This account is a warm-hearted look at an exciting period, related by an observer who was often at the right place at the right time.
**********************************
*Because of Ken’s personal relationship, respect and loyalty to Apple and the Beatles he 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 of The Beatles, The Bible and Bodega Bay he was informed that outside of their own Anthology that this was the only book approved by them. Once again, out of that same respect there have been no changes or updates-the content before you is exactly the same as the original book. These are the thoughts and events exactly as they were happening then…a unique insider’s look at a time that will never exist again.
