Is It a Coincidence or One of God's Wonderful Miracles?
Submitted by Dr. Tunishai Ford
Many of our readers may not be aware of why I added the column " When God Winks at You." I would like to share why I was inspired to do it. I have a friend who gifted me with the book, "When God Winks at You" written by Squire Rushnell. The book was so inspirational that I found myself engulfed with the stories and it increased my faith. The book is about how God speaks to you through the power of coincidences. It is a collection of true stories of how God moved in people's lives; I call them unexpected miracles. I would like to share one of those unexpected coincidences or miracles with you in this issue. I hope you will enjoy it and it will inspire you and uplift your spirits and warm your hearts.
Mr. Rushnell was a man of notoriety well before he became an author, but writing books was a dream that he always aspired to fulfill and being on the Oprah Winfrey show was another great desire of his. The dream finally came true, so he thought, but it was during the time of 9/11 and Oprah changed and cancelled her guest line-up to give as much coverage to that horrific event.
Of course, Mr. Rushnell was disappointed and he felt that the opportunity to be on her show may not come for a very long time, if at all. He
eventually forgot about it and decided to get on with his life. After the 9/11 event died down and Oprah went back to her regular shows, and she did a show where she took the audience on a tour of her home. When she got to her bedroom, she went to her night stand and held up a book and said, "This is a book that I am reading right now---"When God Winks at You" by Squire Rushnell. Then she put it back on the night stand and continued her tour. When Oprah did that, Mr. Rushnell received an unexpected call from his publisher telling him what happened. Mr. Rushnell was astounded. Book orders were in such demand that the publisher could not keep up with the orders;
