Stephen Baldwin, youngest of the famous Baldwin brothers candidly shares how despite his success in the movies and television, it wasn't until he personaly experienced God's power that he found purpose and meaning in his life. An authentic look at the life of a Hollywood celebrity who turned to God to find true meaning in his life. 281 pages, hardcover from Faithwords.
Stephen Baldwin explains why he compares his new life of faith to jumping out of an airplane without a parachute and calls you to take the plunge.
Stephen Baldwin?actor, family man, born-again Christian. Through an impressive body of work, Stephen continues to be a popular and sought-after talent in the film and television industry. Stephen makes his home in upstate New York with his wife and two young daughters.
Mark Tabb is the author of twelve books including Living with Less and Out of the Whirlwind. He and his wife, Valerie, live in Knightstown, Indiana with their three daughters.
As the youngest son of six children, at the tail end of the (in)famous Baldwin
brothers acting family, Stephen Baldwin has never done anything by halves. In
this exhausting autobiographical report, Baldwin depicts himself as a wild,
fun-loving extremist who mended his ways after making a personal commitment to
Christ a few years back. Faced with his boldness bordering on fanaticism,
readers will either love or hate Baldwin's take on the Christian life. At the
outset, some may cringe at his recollections at being invited to the Playboy
mansion, and his former caveman mentality toward women will likely cause some
ire. Yet despite the audacious talk, Baldwin pointedly admits with some
measure of humility his current struggles to "live out" a genuine God-honoring
faith. He discusses how his new faith has affected his family, details the
life events that brought him to Christ and offers randomly presented musings
on marriage, prayer, purity, divine intervention and evangelism. If Baldwin's
intent is to rev up the blood pressure of Christian readers while
simultaneously challenging them to more courageous, faith-guided living, the
venture succeeds. But be warned: this is not a gentle chronicle but an almost
spastic spiritual memoir by someone on perpetual fast-forward. (Sept. 19)

Reviewed by Daisy (Covington,in), March 06, 2008 I have to admit I bought this book only to see what kind of strange religion this Hollywood actor was into. So you can imagine my surprise when I found he was into God I was so excited it only took me two days to read it and I found this website because I was looking to see what else Stephen Baldwin has written. Its exciting to see a true Christian in Hollywood. I pray he can save many of his co actors. Thank you it seemed like a real honest book. 5 out of 5 stars
Reviewed by Joanne Lamberson (Tampa, Florida), December 10, 2007 My family loves the authors' insightful, down to earth, and transparent account of the whole Christian experience. They speak for many of us with a honest and unafraid candor. We are buying this book for all the staff in our front office. It's a "hard to put down" favorite this CHRISTmas season. Well done fellas. To Our Great God & King Jesus be the Glory forever!!! 5 out of 5 stars
Reviewed by Jill (St. Cloud, MN), July 29, 2007 I would recommend this book to anyone - Christians and non-Christians alike. Baldwin lays out the truth of the Gospel in a very straightforward manner. His words are honest and convicting. 5 out of 5 stars
Reviewed by Denise (burlington CT), November 04, 2006 I just finished reading The Unusual Suspect by Stephen Baldwin. It is an excellent book and I even think your secular friends would like it. It's extremely entertaining and makes you want to go out and witness to everyone you know that doesn't know Christ! Write a review of The Unusual Suspect
