Publisher's summary

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 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.

Very engaging, enjoyed every chapter!

Rick certainly has a gift with colorful vocabulary. I enjoyed his narrative greatly. I actually caught myself laughing out loud several times. Keep them coming Mr. Springfield!

Excellent narration

The narration is appealing for the context of the story, and teen ages of the plot.

A little out there but a good read

I had no idea what to expect from this book. Usually my reads are books that could really be true as in not sci fi but this story really grabbed me and I had to instantly download the second book. I wish I had someone to discuss it with.

Colorfully written, entertaining, heavy ending

I really enjoyed this book, though it did take a little while to get into it. Rick has quite a talent with the use of unexpected, entertaining adjectives. I had some real belly laughs! There was definitely a deeper theme woven in between the humor. It was a helpful personification of God and His desires and character. I would definitely recommend it.

Go Rick!

If you could sum up Magnificent Vibration in three words, what would they be?

The future?

Who was your favorite character and why?

Horatio. It seems as if whatever Bobby does he can't get away from his past. It seems as if we all have that problem.

What about Rick Springfield’s performance did you like?

No offense, Rick, but I presumed that your creativity went toward music (which is a dumb prejudice of my own). However, Rick's creativity is multi-faceted.

If you could rename Magnificent Vibration, what would you call it?

Necessary Detour

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this book. I watched Rick Springfield hawking this book on my favorite daytime cooking show. I really liked his explanation that the story was a little "dark". It was. The book struck a cord with me. It seems as if the path that we choose individually and as a species is always off kilter. Whether you call it god, God, or destiny, we affect our futures. This story seems to bring that into contrast with our seemingly clueless wanderings in a new and original way.

Love it because it is Rick Springfield

But it was hard to get into, and I’m still not sure about it, but I read it because I like listening to him
