So I am a substitute librarian for the school district out here.
Yesterday Im at work and I suddenly rememberd a book I always wanted to read that an ex told me about years ago. I couldnt remember the name of the book but I remembered it was the true story of an Indian boy who was nabbed from his village, etc.
I searched all kinds of names I thought it may be like "Ishmael" "Isaiah" "Isaac" and no luck. So I gave up.
Today Im helping a little girl pick out a book in the kindergarten section (small picture books) and the book I was searching for is an adult sized novel.
A book hits my shoulder, like it fell from the upper shelves (again, all picture books) and I look down and the book that hit me was called Ishi. The book Id been searching for.
Did God just throw a book at me?

Yes. God came down from heaven to your library and dropped a book on you. Interesting story though. Hope you enjoy the book.

There is an author by the name of SQuire Rushnell, who talks about God Winks. It's when something occurs that appears to be too perfect for coincidence. You may want to consider that book after you finish Ishi.
Good luck!

Well, the statistical odds awesome. Perhaps God did just that. Most probably the library assistants did.
Anyway, I am curious, if the book hit you on the head on its sharp edge, instead of the shoulder...would you think differently?

If there is a lesson in that book that you need to gain closeness with God or come to some truth about yourself than I would say "yes". It is the fruit that something bears that will let you know if it is God or something else.
Good fruit= god
bad fruit=not so much
happy reading.

Yes.And when you get up tomorrow God wants you to write a 200 word essay on that book and God expects it to be turned in by Monday.

God once threw "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift at me. Weird.

Perhaps one of the Native American gods hit you with this book.

Were you asking God to show you the book?

If the content of that book aligns with Gods Word, maybe.\
If not, No
