Heaven in High Gear is a sequel to the first God on a Harley. The story revolves around a stripper named Heather Hurley who lives high in LA in her condo and drives a BMW. She works out with a personal trainer to keep her body in top form and she judges all men she sees according to their physical form. Joe, God, arrives in her life when she visits her childhood home for a vacation with old friends. Heather is guided and instructed by Joe how she can have a better life, be happy and do what she really loves to do most, which is to write poetry and sing torch songs. In the end Heather learns to love herself and have the confidence and self-esteem to have what she wants, with Joe's help of course.

These books (God on a Harley and Heaven in High Gear) are not heavy duty reading but there's a message given that applies to all human's who need to have faith in themselves. The message that He does hear and He does help. I think the book is a worthwhile read. It's inspiring and hopeful.

Heaven in High Gear is a true sequel to God on A Harley...Joe is back, guiding the young woman he saw in the bar with Christine at the end of "God"...True to his word, he teaches her the guidlines that will change and enpower her life for the better...Great read, never pounding you over the head with scripture, yet getting the point across fully.

This book picks up where "God on a Harley" ends but yet it can be read and bring much joy and self-enlightenment even if the reader hasn't read the first book by Brady. In the book, God, as a biker, reveals himself to the main character and gives her the direction to find and love herself. God, aka "Joe" gives to her her own personal commandments. Very inspiring and uplifting. In the end, God must continue on to his next person for their own one-on-one meeting except this time, it's a....... Can't ruin it for you. If I could personally ever meet Ms. Brady, I would first thank her for helping me so much through her books and then BEG for the next sequel to "Heaven in High Gear".

I was a HUGE fan of "God on a Harley" - and so when I saw another title by Joan Brady, I scooped it up with much enthusiasm. However, that enthusiasm was quickly dashed when I realized this was simply a remake of the same story. But drawn out. Boring, and disappointing!

I enjoy reading metaphysical and spiritual books and found this one to be exceptionally enlightening. It is very easy to read and comprehend and have highly recommended it and will be buying copies for all my family and friends. I am looking forward to reading more of Ms. Brady's books.

Very good book. I didn't like it as much as God On A Harley but that ones hard to beat. It still made you think, feel and want more!

Heaven In High Gear surpasses the excellence of Ms. Brady's God On A Harley. This book like her first offering gives a different insight into the accepted views of spirituality and perceptions about who God is and how He moves in our lives. It speaks to anyone who has felt heartbreak, insecurity, or abandoned by the One Above. It is not preachy or theological, instead it is insightful and philosophical. It speaks as a soft reassuring whisper rather than a loud, in-your-face blare. Just as it should. It requires you to look inside yourself instead of forcing preconceived views down your throat.

Heaven in High Gear is not a book for people into serious theology. However, Ms. Brady does a good job of getting across the idea that God/Jesus is much more interested in us than in what we do or don't do. This is an easy-to-read book (I finished it in 2 evenings). Pick it up for a friend who needs a spiritual lift.

It's a must read book if ever you have thought God left you after a divorce.
