"When God Winks: How the Power of Coincidence Guides Your Life" is a thought-provoking and uplifting book by SQuire Rushnell, which explores the concept of "Godwinks" - those seemingly coincidental events that carry deeper meaning and purpose. This book is the first installment in The Godwink Series, and it sets the stage for understanding how these moments of synchronicity can guide our lives.

Rushnell, a former television executive, brings a unique perspective to the subject of coincidences. He introduces the term "Godwink" to describe the moments when something seemingly random happens, but upon closer inspection, it appears to be a sign from a higher power. The book is filled with real-life stories and anecdotes that illustrate how these Godwinks can provide reassurance, guidance, and even change the course of one's life.

One of the strengths of "When God Winks" is its accessibility. Rushnell's writing is warm, engaging, and easy to understand. He presents complex ideas in a way that is relatable and often humorous. The book is structured in a way that makes it an easy read, with short chapters that focus on individual stories and lessons. This format allows readers to pick up the book and read a chapter or two at a time, making it perfect for those with busy schedules.

The stories themselves are the heart of the book. Rushnell shares numerous accounts of people who have experienced Godwinks, from everyday occurrences to life-changing events. These stories are both inspiring and comforting, as they remind readers that they are not alone and that there is a greater plan at work. Whether it’s a chance encounter that leads to a new job or a seemingly random phone call that reconnects old friends, each story illustrates the power of coincidences in guiding our lives.

While the book is inherently spiritual, it is not tied to any specific religion, making it accessible to a wide audience. Rushnell's message is one of universal faith and trust in a higher power, regardless of one's religious beliefs. This inclusivity is one of the book's strengths, as it encourages readers from all walks of life to recognize and appreciate the Godwinks in their own lives.

However, some readers may find the book's reliance on anecdotal evidence to be a drawback. While the stories are compelling, they are largely based on personal experiences and may not be enough to convince skeptics of the validity of Godwinks. Additionally, the book tends to emphasize positive outcomes, which might lead some to question what happens when Godwinks lead to less favorable results.

Overall, "When God Winks: How the Power of Coincidence Guides Your Life" is an inspiring and heartwarming read. It encourages readers to pay attention to the coincidences in their lives and to see them as signs of a greater plan. Rushnell's engaging writing and the relatable stories make this book a valuable addition to anyone's reading list, especially for those who are seeking a deeper understanding of the seemingly random events that shape our lives.
