August 6th, 2003 A Christian Offender at the prison I work at came to me and wanted to know if I would like to look at a book that he had just ordered and read. I was really busy and told him that I already knew about what this book was about. It was about tithing. I was busy and I was not really interested in looking at it then. Later he came back and he just handed it to me. So I read the opening few pages quickly. It was really good to my surprise and I took it as a sign that I had to read this book. The version he handed me was the 2nd printing of it.

I went home that day and was sitting at the waterfall outside in my yard and I remembered the book the offender had showed me; "The Blessed Life" by Robert Morris. So I quickly went into the house and got on my computer and logged on to ebay.com; the large auction website where you can buy just about anything. I typed in, "The Blessed Life" in the search box and there was 1 copy for sale, just one and only one copy. But what struck me as odd is that there was exactly 2 days and 22 hours left on the auction for this book. When I saw that I knew I was going to be reading this entire book. I put in a bid. The auction would end on 8/9/03 at 2pm.
