Product Description
Her cool sexy demeanor betrays nothing, but twenty-nine-year-old Heather Hurley suffers from major anxiety attacks -- her life in L.A. isn't going exactly as planned. Now, in a bar near her hometown on the Jersey shore, her future is about to change forever...."Your panic is your friend. It loves you and it's just trying to protect you. The man who spoke to her was gorgeous: long dusky hair, faded jeans and a black motorcycle jacket. And before Heather could brush him off, his arm touched hers and the result was electric: she felt her fear and anxiety drop away. Who was this guy? "I am who you think I am." Oh, God. "That's very good. It's about time we straightened out a few things in your life." His voice was like a sanctuary, a safe and lovely haven, and she felt enveloped by a cloud of serenity. So begins Heather's journey toward discovering her life as it was meant to be: filled with the true meaning of love and the magic of realizing her dreams. For every woman who longs to embrace her true self, heaven in high gear is proof that you can always find your way, as long as you trust your heart.

Very disappointing

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 totally disagree with the people who knocked this book.
It was a light, easy, enjoyable book to read.
Joan Brady does a good job creating traits & flaws in the lead character that we can all relate to and see in ourselves; therefore, God's personal commandments, in both books, are relevant & could be followed by all!

Sweet book! I really enjoyed it! I just wanted to make readers aware that the regular hardback edition is very large. It looks to be the same as the Large Print magazines I've seen!

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.
