Do You like book God On A Harley (1996)?
Christine Moore, a surgical trauma nurse nearing burn out, returns to New Jersey and to her long ago job. Believing that she has finally gotten over a bad relationship with one of the staff doctors, she braves running into him again. After the fateful encounter, Christine decides to go out for a drink and runs into Joe. Joe is only there to help her understand how to best live her life. For Christine, there are only 6 commandments and she seems to be a very quick learner.Very inspirational, not in a religious way that the title might imply. Everyone needs someone who believes in them and their right to be happy and content with their life. The life lessons in this book can be applied to anyone while the ideas, concepts and hopes can be a part of everyone. Joe gives another option for believing in God. This book encourages and enlightens without preaching with simple and light humor. This is a small book, a very quick and easy read with long lasting effects to anyone who takes it to heart.For some, the definition of 5 star rating is if you would re-read a book...... I re-read this book every summer and it never seems to loose the inspiration I enjoy from it so much.re-read dates are: 7/26/07, 8/23/08, 7/3/09, 7/2/10, 8/8/11,

This is one of those easy-to-read-books. Written with a lot of simplicity, which helps to get the message faster and fortunately run the chance to actually learn and apply it to real life. Even though its a bit predictable, the story accomplish the job. The main characters are not really endearing but this peace of work contains good, clear and very helpful messages that could help someone who's interested in reaching a personal self-improvement, deeply look into our actions, habits, attitudes or simply the way we "receive" what life gives us in every single minute of every single day. It can help you to change the perspective of your our own life, like it says: "LIVE every moment of your life, because they are all beautiful and you shouldn't wast them." or "When you truly know who and what you are, with strengths and weaknesses, then you wont have to spend more time and energy trying to be different (...) accept your defects and deepen on your virtues, and love all what you are".Its a book about happiness and love, but not romantic-love but GENUINE LOVE. Love yourself, love what you have having nothing and start forgetting "vital-now-a-days-things like your clothes, the mirror, a perfume, a bunch of food, alcohol or just the fact that we live caring too much on what people think and we are constantly trying to change ourselves to feel more "accepted".

I read this book at a time of crisis wherein I had no connection with faith and felt outcast by dogma but very much wanted to feel connected. A time when I was gaining a new conception of what g.o.d. might or might not be but all I had to go with was what I already knew. My spirituality has come a long way since but this book left it's impression at the time. The one thing I can recall is gaining some understanding, for me, that there couldn't be a one-size-fits all type of morality. The story itself is easy to read and sort of fun. Reading it at a time when I was open to moving into new spirituality and actually putting down a sort of agnosticism made it a memorable read. There is a Christian undercurrent in the fact that there is a character that represents an idea of god/jesus(?). I would caution against the (now) tired, played out idea that g.o.d. for any woman would be a dude on a modern day horse. Some vulnerable readers may tend to literalize that aspect, not a good idea. I wouldn't expect this to appeal to people looking for alternatives to Christianity, but are comfortable using that general frame of reference in this sort of book.
