Book Description

Publication Date: September 17, 2002

It is not by accident that you just picked up When God Winks. Whether you call it synchronicity or coincidence, what brought you to this book today is worth remembering. In fact, you may have suspected all along that there is more to coincidence than meets the eye. These seemingly random events are actually signposts that can help you successfully navigate your career, relationships, and interests. SQuire Rushnell shows us that by recognizing our "God Winks," we can use the untapped power of coincidence to vastly improve our lives.

The author applies his compelling theory as to why coincidences exist to fascinating stories in history, sports, medicine, and relationships involving both everyday and famous people including Barbra Streisand, Charles Schulz, Oprah Winfrey, Kevin Costner, Mark Twain, and Presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to locate and consider the crossroads in life, September 12, 2001

This review is from: When God Winks : How the Power of Coincidence Guides Your Life (Hardcover)

When God Winks ponders serendipity and coincidence, presenting the view that coincidence is actually a spiritual 'nudge' approving of direction and pointing out courses to follow. When God Winks is more than just a philosophical or spiritual analysis: it tells readers how to locate and consider the crossroads in life which offered new direction and meaning. Highly recommended.

This review is from: When GOD Winks: How the Power of Coincidence Guides Your Life (Hardcover)

This was an enjoyable book from the first page to the last. We all have moments of coincidence and this book puts into perspective that these moments do not "just happen"...putting the focus on God. I love the imagery of God "winking" at such a moment as if to say, "Hey there kid, I'm thinking about you right now." Now whenever a coincidence happens in my life, I find myself winking back to say, "Thank You, God...I'm thinking about You right now, too!" Very well written. Hats off to SQuire Rushnell for an exceptionally good book!
