In a local pub, an offer from a stranger sets John Calvin’s life in a new direction — down Route 66 in a modified red ’66 Corvette with a beautiful videographer. The assignment, should the Community College psychology professor choose to accept it, is to stop at 66 sites along the route to pair a video clip with a summary of one of the 66 books of the Bible. The pay is good, the company captivating. But the assignment needles him. John Calvin has a secret past and is not the man his mystery benefactor, or his lovely companion, believe him to be. He is game for the trip down the Mother Road; he’s not so sure about the spiritual journey. With characteristic wit, allusions to pop culture from Sheb Wooley to Sheryl Crow and Easy Rider to Cars , romance, biblical relevance, and the red Corvette, this is a heck of a ride.
