You know him from The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas and Biodome. “I feel like I have gone skydiving and I’m falling from the sky toward earth at 120 miles per hour,” says Stephen Baldwin now, anticipating the release of his new memoir about finding religion. “The wind is howling in my ears and whipping across my face. But somehow, I feel calm and at peace. I’m not afraid.… My prayer is that … you will be willing to take a chance, drop your guard, and enter into an experience like the one I’m having with God!” Having acted in some 65 films, Stephen Baldwin is less famous than his brother Alex. His new memoir, The Unusual Suspect: My Calling to the New Hardcore Movement of Faith, will be released Sept. 19 from Warner Faith. It recounts his Long Island childhood, his journey through “the bowels of Hollywood’s bright lights and huge temptations” and finally the story of how “Stevie B” — as the press release says — “converted to radical Christianity and how it has affected the Dynasty of the Baldwin family…. He is actively using his stardom to take his faith and inspirational messages to the masses…. Early comments [on] the book have ranged from outbursts of laughter, to anger, to complete disbelief that an ‘insider’ had the nerve to turn on the world that essentially gave him his platform and power. It carries the reader deep into the world of the Baldwin Dynasty and gives the first clear look at why this family is the ostentatious, fun and radical group that they are today. Baldwin will take the country by storm by driving in his CUSTOMIZED GM CUBE called the ‘Lord’s Lounge’ which boasts the cover of the book shrinkwrapped around the gnarly vehicle…. Be on the look out for baby Baldwin driving the CUBE to a city near you!”
