During my jog today I stopped into the used bookstore which also has a Christian section and there I saw a complete set of books by Hannah Hurnard, published by Tyndale. It was still in its original jacket which held a set of 7 books by Hannah Hurnard. The books looked a little old too.
Then I saw a small white sticker on the front on which was handwritten: If you REALLY love God, you MUST read this: $19.95. I thought, wow, that must be the original sticker on there still, I wonder how much the set of books is?
So between the white sticker and Tyndale and the titles of her books, like Winged Life, and The Kingdom of Love, and so on, I took the set of 7 books to the front desk and I said, "It looks like the original sticker is on there for 19.95, but how much does this set of books cost?"
Then the desk clerk said, "I wrote that; but I wrote it in a mocking way", and then I said, "YOU wrote that???" And I added, "Well, you know, that is just the thing that attraced me. As far as I'm concerned, God made you write that like that, even if you were only kidding, so that I would buy the set of books".
He ended up giving me a discount of 20%, so I got the set for $17. But that was wild; God is amazing, isn't He? It was Winged Life--in the used bookstore.
