“We read so many accounts of freak accidents and rare diseases bringing misery into the lives of people who deserve better., That is why it was so refreshing, so soul-restoring to read these accounts of near tragedies that were prevented by human efforts, good will and caring.”

RABBI HAROLD KUSHNER, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People and Nine Essential Things I’ve Learned About Life.

“Coincidence studies is a newly developing science (and)… In Dr. Breitman’s engaging book, we become fellow travelers in his quest to examine the unknown, exploring chance, human attachments, and that intersection of brain, mind, cosmos and love.

"Dr. Beitman’s compelling, uncanny, and illuminating stories of coincidence penetrate mind and heart. This ground-breaking and powerful book challenges us to examine coincidences, and their relevance for meaningful human experience, with greater consciousness, and a heightened appreciation for their transformative potential.”
