Mike Dee

Mike Dee is a devoted father, entrepreneur, and follower of Jesus Christ whose own descent into the "dark wood" led him to write his debut book, I Am My Biggest Stranger.

After facing seasons of profound loss, a car accident, homelessness, and the painful realization that he had become a stranger to himself, Mike embarked on a raw spiritual journey of self-discovery and redemption. Drawing inspiration from Dante’s Inferno, he reimagines the nine circles of Hell as a modern roadmap for confronting our inner struggles — lust, anger, greed, pride, treachery, and the quiet paralysis of "almost living."

Blending vulnerable personal stories — including nights in a homeless shelter, the ache of seeking validation from emotionally unavailable people, and the transformative power of surrendering to Christ — with practical reflection questions and exercises, Mike invites readers to face the stranger within and step into the life they were created for.

A passionate believer in the "chain of grace," Mike writes not as an expert on a pedestal, but as a brother walking beside you. His deepest prayer is that this book helps readers move from survival to purpose, from pain to legacy, and from feeling lost to abiding in Christ.

Mike lives in New York with his son, Mikey, and continues to pursue a life of alignment, courage, and contribution. He is grateful every day that the greatest journey is the one that leads us back to ourselves — and to the One who never lost us.
