Noted actor Bean reveals how he drank and snorted drugs, but was never quite happy--until he sniffed around, found religion, and became a recovering alcoholic. This is his story, aimed at those who are interested in recovery, but suspicious.

“Not long ago, I was guesting on a TV show. Between takes, I sat in my canvas chair, reading a copy of C.S. Lewis’ great book, Mere Christianity. I can’t tell you how many people, crew and actors alike, came over to ask me about it. There seems to be a hunger out there, even in the television business.”

“I didn’t want a Christian house to publish my little book. What I’ve written is aimed at folks are interested, but suspicious. They keep sniffing around, but are terrified of becoming Ned Flanders.”


Ned Flanders, for the culturally cloistered, is the too-nice-to-be-true Christian neighbor to Homer, Marge, & Bart on the Simpsons.

Some will find the language and some of the stories rough. Some may even be offended. Bean didn’t write the book for them.

To quote the author, M@IL for MIKEY was written for “the many who rarely set foot in a church but have a feeling deep down that Something created and loves them. MIKEY was written for those millions.

This will make a wonderful gift, and perhaps a way to start a significant conversation with someone you love, and want to share the good news with. But be warned, it is “an odd sort of recovery memoir. . .”
