I was distributing books in Kumeu and stopped a cool looking girl, who said “no” straightaway and got into a car near where I was distributing. Shortly afterward a man joined her in the car, and he sat and watched me.<\/p>\n
\n I stopped a man with a few kids, who was in a hurry. He quickly grabbed a \u201cHiding in Unnatural Happiness\u201d and went into a dentist’s office. Then the man watching me got out of the car and talked to me.<\/p>\n
\n He turned out to be a Christian. He just wanted to ask me a question, which he said I should think over. He wanted me to reflect on whether what I was doing really brings deep satisfaction to my soul. I thought it was a good question, especially as it meant I didn’t have to engage in a long discussion on the street.<\/p>\n
\n A lady then walked out of the dentist’s office, looked around, came over to us, and asked me, “Are you the lady with the books?”<\/p>\n
\n She had seen the man come in with a book.<\/p>\n
\n “I see that book everywhere,” the lady said. “My friend had it on her coffee table, and another friend has one. I thought it looked really interesting, but didn’t know how to get a copy. Then this man walked into the dentist’s office with one, so I asked him, and he said you were out here with them. Can I get one?”<\/p>\n
\n After I explained about a donation, she popped off to the bank to get some cash.<\/p>\n
\n The Christian man, who was bewildered by the exchange, said he would leave me to ponder his question and got into the car with his girl and drove off.<\/p>\n
\n The lady came back with a donation and took her book.<\/p>\n
\n I reflected on the question he’d asked, and felt content and sure that what I was doing really brings a deep satisfaction to my soul.<\/p>\n
\n Your Servant,
