Simply stated: prayer is a conversation between you and God, and oftentimes brings incredible and astonishing results. The outcomes are called "answered prayers." Yet, with no alternative word in the English language for answered prayer, readers have begun to fill the void with Godwink, which is now making its way into dictionaries. In The Godwink Effect, SQuire and Louise, husband and wife, make the case that Godwinks and prayer are inextricably intertwined. The first of seven secrets for more Godwinks is to pray. Moreover, when a Godwink occurs, like a pebble tossed into a pond, there are subsequent ripples that touch the lives of others. Typical of all Godwink books, this volume will be packed with amazing real-life stories about ordinary people, as well as some well-known figures, that reinforce the power of prayer in their lives and the Godwinks that followed.

Excerpt from Book The Godwink Effect SECRET #1 PRAY Godwinks and prayer are inextricably linked. When you pray more, you experience more Godwinks. The best prayer is intentional, but God occasionally proves He can hear your heart by answering unintentional or even unasked prayers. DOUBT In the beginning I was feeling uncertain. Who was I to be spouting this thesis about Godwinks? Im not a theologian, a philosopher, or a scholar. Im merely a TV executive. Just one of the guys who brought you Schoolhouse Rock. But then I came across a statement that gave me encouragement, a statement by seventeenth-century religious leader Sir William Temple: When I pray, coincidences happen. When I dont, they dont! Im not alone! I thought. Sir William lifted my spirits by validating my theory that Godwinks are connected to prayer. And this notion existed not just in my head but was held by others! Of course I now joke that I cant fault the knighted evangelist for failing to use the proper word--Godwink instead of coincidence. The word wasnt around in the 1600s. But I do enjoy paraphrasing Sir William: When I pray, Godwinks happen. When I dont, they dont. So, in partnership with Sir William, we would like to introduce you to the first of Seven Secrets to Gods Signs, Wonders, and Answered Prayers. The first secret, very simply, is . . . pray. When you pray, you clear the way for blessings that are waiting to be released. More prayer, more power. Less prayer, less power. Prayer is mysteriously related to the rate of Godwinks that flow into your life. YOUR COMMUNICATION WITH HIM Simply put, prayer is communication between you and God. You can talk to Him anytime from anywhere about anything, and you can talk to God much the way you would chat with a dear grandfather whom you admire and respect, who hangs on your every word, and who wants to know everything about everything youre doing, about what excites you and what concerns you. One difference between your grandfather and God, though, is that the latter can literally move mountains and earth to comfort you, protect you, inspire you, and guide you to where you need to go. GODS COMMUNICATION TO YOU God hardly ever speaks to us in an out-loud, human voice. It happens, but very rarely. Instead, sometimes you hear an inner voice that seems as clear and as distinct as the words to a song inside your head. Thats infrequent as well. More commonly, you feel a powerful inner sense that you need to do something--go check on the baby, watch that car thats coming from another direction, say something specific to a specific someone. For most people, however, the most frequent form of direct, person-to-Person communication from God happens through Godwinks. Why not? Why wouldnt God use a nonverbal and totally amazing way to communicate to let you know that its Him? As you develop the ability to see Godwinks all around you, youll see more and more of them more and more often. For Louise and me, it is now rare that we dont see Godwinks several times a day. INTENTIONAL PRAYER Intentional prayer is the best kind of prayer: you intentionally speak with God about a very specific need or issue. Thats what Kate Hughes did, and her astonishing story will touch most of us. One medical issue after another drained her bank account, tested her stamina, and gave her a stage on which to demonstrate that when you engage in daily intentional prayer, God listens to you. If you dont already agree, Kates story may change your thinking. Kates Godwinks and the Wedding Kate sat on the couch, opening mail. One envelope was plump and clearly of a high-quality paper. She carefully opened it. As if it were a precious treasure map, she held the wedding invitation with both hands. It was beautiful. The raised lettering, in script, announced that in about a month her son, James, would marry his fianc Details ISBN150112708X Year 2018 ISBN-10 150112708X ISBN-13 9781501127083 Media Book Pages 240 Publisher Howard Books Series The Godwink Series Imprint Howard Books Subtitle 7 Secrets to Gods Signs, Wonders, and Answered Prayers Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States DEWEY 248.32 Short Title The Godwink Effect Language English Series Number 5 NZ Release Date 2018-07-12 US Release Date 2018-07-12 UK Release Date 2018-07-12 AU Release Date 2018-05-31 Author Louise DuArt Format Paperback Publication Date 2018-07-12 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
