Those extraordinary little events in your life happen for a reason. A coincidence ... sometimes a silly little thing ... changes the course of your day or even your life. Is it chance, or is God communicating with you? When God Winks at You is packed with true stories demonstrating that God does communicate with us, making incredible things happen in our lives every single day.
As you read the riveting accounts of everyday and famous people, including Tim Conway, Rudolph Giuliani, Billy Graham, and Don Knotts, you will begin to recognize the godwinks in your own life, both past and present. Through these tangible signposts from God, you receive personalized messages that reassure you, stop you from worrying, chart your path in life, and help you to keep the faith.
"When God Winks at You reaffirms that there is absolutely nothing about you that He does not know ... your every hurt, your every desire. And that to me, is very comforting." - SQuire Rushnell
REVIEWS
“I have always thought of coincidences as being from God. When people would say "this was a coincidence or that was a coincidence", I'd say, " God orchestrated it to be that way. It happened like that because God allowed it to be so". It's interesting reading about other people's "coincidences" and hearing how they now realize that it was God at work. I would recommend this book to anyone...I really like it.” C.L. Johnson – 5 stars
“I love this book and intend to give it as Christmas presents to those I love enough to share God's presence with them. What a marvelous concept and how inspiring to know that He cares, always. This book is an encouragement to all, and I shall give a copy to two sweet ladies in the nursing home who need to know God is winking at them every day. I recommend this book to all ages.” Barbara Girga – 5 stars
“I am now on my 4th GodWinks book by SQuire Rushnell. As soon as I finished the first one When God Winks, I was so sad to be done with the awesome, inspirational, true stories that he wrote about that I had to order another one. I read When God Winks in Love, then this one, and am currently reading When God Winks - the Devotional. Each book explains his story and what God Winks are, but each book also has unique and special stories of God Wink experiences. Every one is a blessing, with every one I ask myself more and more...how could anyone NOT believe?” Wendy H. – 5 stars
Lover of BooksWhat if that "crazy coincidence" wasn't actually crazy at all?
You know those moments. You're thinking about someone you haven't seen in years, and they text you out of the blue. You take a "wrong" turn and end up exactly where you needed to be. You're about to give up on something, and then a random sign appears that feels almost too perfect.
SQuire Rushnell has a name for these moments: godwinks.
When God Winks at You is a short, warm collection of real-life stories that will make you rethink every "lucky break" you've ever had. Rushnell, a former TV executive, spent years collecting these accounts from strangers, celebrities, and everyday people . The idea is simple: coincidences aren't random. They're personal messages of reassurance from a God who sees you, hears you, and hasn't forgotten you.
Some stories will make you cry. Some will make you laugh. All of them will make you start paying attention.
Here are 5 things this book taught me about life, faith, and the moments we almost miss:
1. A "godwink" isn't about direction—it's about reassurance
Here's the part I loved: Rushnell says godwinks aren't usually signposts telling you where to go. They're more like a parent winking at you from across the room, a little nod that says "I see you. You're okay. Keep going" . When you're in a season of uncertainty, that reassurance can be everything.
2. Your life is full of winks you haven't noticed yet
Rushnell encourages readers to do an "archaeological dig" through their own past . Look back at the key moments: how you met your partner, got your job, ended up in your city. Chances are, there were "coincidences" along the way that felt random at the time, but looking back, they line up like breadcrumbs. Start noticing them, and you'll realize you've been guided more than you knew.
3. The stories will wreck you (in the best way)
One story that stayed with me: a woman named Stasia, daughter of the famous clown Emmett Kelly, was on a plane the morning after her father died. She was holding a newspaper with his obituary and an old photo of him smiling, the only known photo of him breaking character. The man next to her asked if she was okay. Turned out, he was the photographer who took that picture decades ago . Moments like that don't feel random. They feel like a hug from heaven.
4. Even "unanswered" prayers can become winks later
Rushnell shares the story of Rudy Giuliani, who had to drop out of the Senate race against Hillary Clinton after a cancer diagnosis. At the time, he asked God, "Why me, why now?" Sixteen months later, he was mayor during 9/11. God wasn't ignoring him, He was positioning him . Sometimes the wink doesn't make sense until years later.
5. You can start collecting your own
I started a "godwink journal" after reading this book . Once you start paying attention, you'll notice them everywhere. That random phone call at exactly the right moment. The person who showed up when you needed them. The song on the radio that answered a question you'd been praying. Write them down. They're proof that you're not alone.
This book is perfect for reading one story at a time, over coffee, with your Bible, before bed . It's gentle. It's hopeful. And it just might change how you see everything.
