Book Description

June 2001
An unabridged recording of a one-of-a-kind modern fable!

Need a lift?

The man was gorgeous, sitting astride his Harley Davidson, mysteriously parked on a moonlit strip of sand. At thirty-seven, Christine Moore had a world-class case of burnout: career blues, no husband, no children, an imperfect figure, and dimming expectations. "I'm going to show you a peace so beautiful, you'll probably forget what your life has been like up until now," he said. Who was this guy? "My friends call me Joe. Others call me 'God' or 'Higher Power.' You can call me whatever you're most comfortable with." Right.

But he knows everything about her, every one of her heart's desires. A sweet serenity settles over Christine. And so the journey begins, a triumphant odyssey of self-discovery that illuminates our souls. As we join one woman's inspiring quest for healing and life-changing truths, we discover six powerful precepts that offer the deepest peace and fulfillment we can ever know. Every woman longing to experience the joy of loving and of respecting her true self will find comfort, guidance and hope in the simple, profound secrets to an enlightened and enriched new life that Christine learns.

In the life-affirming tradition of The Celestine Prophecy, God on a Harley lights the way to a much-needed spiritual home.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In the tradition of inspirational fiction such as The Celestine Prophecy, Joseph F. Girzone's Joshua novels and the fables of Og Mandino, Brady (Band-Aides, Bullets & Booze) offers a whimsical tale of a journey toward spiritual fulfillment. Trauma nurse Christine Moore hates men, work and life. At 30, she had run as far and as fast as she could from boring New Valley Community Hospital and her lover, a doctor who refused to marry her. Seven years later, she is back where she started, only now the doctor is married to her worst enemy. Depressed, Christine hits the local bar, where she meets the very last person she expects: God Himself (aka Joe), and on a Harley, no less. God gives her six individualized commandments. Change comes hard for Christine, but change she does-new image, new apartment, new hours, new attitude-as she grows and opens her eyes and heart to life and new opportunities. The Lord's new commandments are so sweeping ("Drop the ego. Be real. And watch what happens"; "All things are possible all of the time") as to be practically useless to anyone looking for serious guidance, and Christine's transformation based on them is about as believable as her running into God in the first place. Moses, Brady isn't-but despite its simplemindedness, her tale is funny and enjoyable in a fairy-tale kind of way. Major ad/promo; simultaneous Simon & Schuster audio; rights: Stinson Literary Agency.

From Booklist

Disgruntled nurse Christine Moore, still single at 37, stumbles while leaving a bar. She is helped to her feet by a handsome hunk of a Harley rider who says his name is Joe but who is, well, God. He knows all about her, answers her questions before she speaks them, and criticizes and counsels her in a totally disarming way. Moreover, when Christine follows his advice--his "customized set of commandments" --her life improves. She starts dressing more comfortably and cuts down on cosmetics, moves near the beach and reduces her consumption, drops to half-time and discovers she loves her work, relaxes and becomes optimistic about life's possibilities. Finally, she finds a real man. Brady's theologized self-improvement fable is heretical in the good old American way: individualism and progress ("We're all always evolving, getting better. . . . Even me," Joe-God says) are the foremost articles of faith it inculcates. That will upset more conventionally religious readers but, Pocket Books hopes, appeal mightily to the Christian New Agers who've made The Celestine Prophecy a megaseller. Literary Guild main selection. Ray Olson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Are you tired of hurting inside and feeling unworthy of love, April 3, 1997
By A Customer
This is the best book I have ever read. I am not a reader. Itwas extremely easy to understand and so uplifting. I now have anotherset of commandments for taking care of me which is something that I thought I didn't deserve! I have posted the commandments around the house as a constant reminder. I have bought lot's of copies for family and friends. I hope Joan Brady writes more.

A great tape. The narrator is fabulous and really brings this story to life. I could listern to her for hours. I have bought 3 of these and gave 2 to my friends who also gave it a 5 rating. Entertaining as well as mentally stimulating. Especially for you women out there who would like to review your life with a new perspective! Highly recommend it!!!
