Ever notice that there are times the universe is just not in a good mood? You miss your flight, and you realize that it is delayed by several hours. You drop coffee on your shirt, which saves you from a shirt-producing malfunction during work. Coincidence? Or something else?

Once, Albert Einstein said, Coincidence is the way God communicates anonymously. The idea burns in the background of “The Game In A Nutshell,” when Doc Flowers analyzes the idea of how seemingly unconnected events can, in fact, be God kicking someone.

We can call it God, destiny, or just simple good fortune but it is these moments that make us realize something profound in life: It is not just chaos. It has a pattern, a rhythm, and a superior power at work, even when we do not understand it.

This view makes daily disappointments an opening. It shows us to have faith in the process, to look beneath the surface, to hope where we would not expect.

Wonder how religion and reason come into collision in this ball of life? The pages of “The Game In A Nutshell” will give you a different perspective on the mysteries of the world and your own story in an entirely new way.
