Il romanzo riprende esattamente dove finiva "Dio su una Harley": Joe-Dio ha messo gli occhi su Heather, una vistosa spogliarellista che non crede in nulla. Joe le mostra il cammino verso un'esistenza più serena attraverso sette comandamenti "personalizzati" come, ad esempio, superare i traumi del passato, non badare alle apparenze, cercare sempre il lato buono delle persone, credere in se stessi e nelle proprie capacità. Heather, rinfrancata, smetterà di spogliarsi e diventerà una brava cantante, mentre Joe proseguirà il suo viaggio terreno a cavallo della sua Harley-Davidson.
