Great read

This book very simply describes the true meaning of what many people mistakenly call ‘coincidence’. Once people grasp this concept, the world will be a better place!

I found this book to be likable, but it was really a two-and-a-half STAR read not a solid 3. It read like a compilation of "Reader's Digest" essays submitted by subscribers. The author obviously spent alot of effort consolidating all the accounts and cobbling them together into chapters. This was really nothing NEW to me, as far as the subject matter is concerned.

The book seemed well organized, and I appreciated the decent editing. There was nothing PROFOUND or ground-breaking here, just many different accounts from lots of different folks about their personal experiences with "Synchronicity." I didn't find my beliefs altered significantly by this material. It felt like if the reader already BELIEVES in God, a Higher-Power, etc. existing behind the scenes and pulling strings then this will serve to REAFFIRM their faith.

However, the material presented did not feel compelling or convincing enough to convert a reader who does NOT already have faith. That's not to say there is anything WRONG with this book, and it is very positive, upbeat reading. The logic is lacking to form a solid argument that Synchronicity is nothing more than coincidence.

**I received a free copy of this book from a GoodReads First-Reads Giveaway = Thank you!!**

This book is a wonderful illustration of how we are guided and many times protected by an “invisible” force. Each story is filled with intrigue and the outcomes reinforce a trust of relying upon that guidance, however subtle. Events from the author’s own work as a healer and hospice worker are especially meaningful and inspiring.

While I appreciate the author's message, I did not feel like this was a well written book. It was too choppy and all over the place for my taste. I received this book through Goodreads First Reads.

Simply amazing

Thank you so much I'm learning that coincidences were truly a gift from God and nothing is a coincidence. Lol
