Sophia Demas did not want to get married, have children, or write a book; the Universe, however, had other plans. In this penetrating memoir, Sophia examines the events in her life that at first seemed to be a series of coincidences, but upon further consideration were building blocks of the miraculous. The Divine Language of Coincidence chronicles the extraordinary events experienced by an ordinary woman, asserting that miracles are not only possible, but far more common than we may realize.

Mysterious angels who appear when you need them most, a dream that helped save a life, a voice from beyond the grave-these are just a few of the "coincidences" in the stories you are about to read. For some people, these are signs from a relative who has passed, connections to the "real world," showing that we are always loved. Joyce Kocinski has compiled a collection of stories that encourage you to notice the miracles around you that happen every day. The authors share their sometimes heartbreaking testimonies to inspire us and strengthen our faith. You may think of what path you are on in your life and how there are guiding hands to lead you along the way. You will be comforted and inspired by these stories including: -- A young mother who vows to trust God, quits her full-time job to stay home with her children and begins finding money in all kinds of unlikely places. -- A court-appointed children's advocate, inspired by a tragedy in her own life, who diagnoses a grave medical condition in a child and saves his life. -- A deaf woman awakened by an apparition of her mother who saves her baby's life. -- An ICU nurse contemplating suicide finds redemption through one of her patients. -- A woman rescued during a roll over car accident by an unseen angel.

'Raising your consciousness to the 'God Winks' that often go by unnoticed, and recognising them as tremendously personal, will affirm that your existence is not random and that you have a role to play in life's grand plan' Squire Rushnell Have you ever thought about someone who hasn't crossed your path or mind in years and then bumped into them? Are there such things as coincidences? Do they mean anything? According to Rushnell, 'coincidences, like winks from God, are encouraging signposts along your universal path.' In WHEN GOD WINKS he explains that a 'God Wink' is a message of reassurance that comes our way whenever we need it and that coincidences are the best way for God to establish a presence in our lives. Rushnell shows how to retrace crossroads (a new job, a death, change in relationships) that took us in an entirely different direction, showing how to map the turning points made by coincidences that have guided us throughout our lives. Best of all, WHEN GOD WINKS shows us how to create our own coincidences and turn wishes into winks. He explains his compelling theory of coincidences through a series of incredible stories and motivational writing on how coincidences play a role in all facets of our life, including career, love, history, medicine, entertainment, sports and politics with telling comments from Oprah Winfrey, Barbara Streisand, Mark Twain, Kevin Costner and other celebrities. WHEN GOD WINKS is a fascinating bridge to self-discovery.

In The Improbability Principle, the renowned statistician David J. Hand argues that extraordinarily rare events are anything but. In fact, they're commonplace. Not only that, we should all expect to experience a miracle roughly once every month. But Hand is no believer in superstitions, prophecies, or the paranormal. His definition of "miracle" is thoroughly rational. No mystical or supernatural explanation is necessary to understand why someone is lucky enough to win the lottery twice, or is destined to be hit by lightning three times and still survive. All we need, Hand argues, is a firm grounding in a powerful set of laws: the laws of inevitability, of truly large numbers, of selection, of the probability lever, and of near enough. Together, these constitute Hand's groundbreaking Improbability Principle. And together, they explain why we should not be so surprised to bump into a friend in a foreign country, or to come across the same unfamiliar word four times in one day. Hand wrestles with seemingly less explicable questions as well: what the Bible and Shakespeare have in common, why financial crashes are par for the course, and why lightning does strike the same place (and the same person) twice. Along the way, he teaches us how to use the Improbability Principle in our own lives—including how to cash in at a casino and how to recognize when a medicine is truly effective. An irresistible adventure into the laws behind "chance" moments and a trusty guide for understanding the world and universe we live in, The Improbability Principle will transform how you think about serendipity and luck, whether it's in the world of business and finance or you're merely sitting in your backyard, tossing a ball into the air and wondering where it will land.

Unbelievable! is a fascinating collection of weird and bizarre stories of coincidence.

This is the Third Edition of the book, first published in 2007. A whole new Part V was added, and the book was thoroughly scrutinized to update and clarify some points that required such. Unexplainable coincidences abound in the Bible and in biblical Hebrew. For example, the Hebrew words for "ear" and "balance" are derived from the same philological root. But it was only toward the end of the nineteenth century that scientists discovered that the human body's balancing mechanism resides in the ear. Coincidences in the Bible and in biblical Hebrew details scores of such incidents, including: - Words in Hebrew that show intent to convey a message - Coincidences in the Hebrew language that show intent to convey hidden information, and occasionally information that could not be expected to be known in biblical times - Passages in the Bible that convey or assume information or knowledge unlikely to have been known in biblical times - Other coincidences from Jewish tradition or Jewish history In this book, engineering Professor Emeritus Haim Shore discusses two types of coincidences - those that can be considered just that, and others that are subject to rigorous statistical analysis. Regarding the latter, altogether nineteen analyses have been conducted, with highly significant results. Simple plots that accompany the analyses clarify their meanings and implications so that no prior statistical know-how is required. Genesis creation story is also statistically analyzed.
