I had just prayed, Oh God, please help me! I want to serve you, but I don't know how. I don't know what to do? ------ "WRITE A BOOK! " I was in shock. So, I stood silent, in wonderment. I was surprised that I had received an answer to my prayer. I didn't really expect to hear from God. Why should I? I was nobody, only a little dot on the earth. Why should the Great God of the universe speak to me?. Helen Goldie
About This Quote

How did this story get its title? The title makes it sound like the girl was praying for the Great God to write a book for her. However, that's not really what happened. The girl didn't somehow magically get the idea to pray for a book to be written for her. Rather, she did get an answer to her prayer, but it wasn't God who wrote her book. She wrote the book on her own.
