About this ebook

After making an unexpected connection with God via his cell phone, one man embarks on an unlikely spiritual quest in this smart, savvy, rambunctious debut from Grammy Award-winning musician and New York Times bestselling author Rick Springfield.

"Why are we here? What is love? Is there a Loch Ness monster? Does God send text messages?" These are the kinds of questions Horatio Cotton, aka Bobby Cotton, asks as he sets off on an uproarious adventure to find his purpose in life. After serendipitously stealing a mysterious self-help book called Magnificent Vibration: Discover Your True Purpose from a bookstore, Bobby calls the 1-800 number scrawled inside the front cover, only to discover that he has a direct line to God—and that God likes to mess with him. Soon enough, Bobby finds an ideal companion for his journey—the breathtakingly sexy and exceedingly sharp Alice—and they set out to find some combination of spiritual and carnal salvation...and possibly save the planet.

Ratings and reviews

It's a far cry from what I expected after his first offering. Which reviled a very deep and dark tortured soul. In a sea of adoring fans one would think his life was nothing but happiness. I also purchased the audio book elsewhere online. Now Rick could of really went further and used another actor to play god. His friend Doug Davidson would of been perfect. Since the two have a great chemistry in comedy. If you were lucky enough to catch them. [Check YouTube] Back to my review, Rick is without a doubt a great writer. You can catch many inside jokes on his real life within the novel. As well bits of lyrics he used in his song catalog. He, like the rest of us are trying to find God and the meaning of life. The humor can be a little raw or juvenile to some. But it really makes the novel quiet entertaining and thought provoking. Bravo, hope it lands him a another go at writing a future novel.

Anything by this man has got to be good...he's got the "Human Touch"!

Great read
