This memoir explores extraordinary patterns that emerged across a lifetime — and what those patterns revealed about faith, love and the presence of God

HARRISONBURG, Va., Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Are the recurring patterns in a person's life merely coincidence, or could they point to something more? In "How Many Threes Are in Your Life?" (published by LifeRich Publishing), E. Spirit GreenWood III explores that question through a spiritually focused memoir built from historic and modern-day occurrences.

This expansive autobiographical account weaves together three generations of family history, personal experience, military service, enduring relationships, and moments, inviting readers to consider where coincidence ends and the possibility of divine intervention begins. Built around the recurring significance of the number three, the book draws its central inspiration from the triune God — Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. GreenWood traces patterns of three throughout his own life and from lived experiences passed down through his family, using them as a narrative framework for examining pivotal events, difficult choices, unexpected outcomes, and the lasting consequences of human actions.

Running through those stories is an unusual recurring motif: the number three.

GreenWood's interest in the pattern stems from his belief in the triune God. As he looks back on his life, he identifies threes appearing in people, places, circumstances and significant events. The pattern becomes both a narrative device and an invitation for readers to consider the recurring details in their own lives.

What initially appear to be individual stories eventually converge on the author's relationship with his wife, Miriam, and the challenges they face together. For GreenWood, the resulting case for miracles is not limited to one extraordinary occurrence. It emerges from the accumulation of people, decisions, developments and circumstances surrounding their experience.

"How Many Threes Are in Your Life? In my case, the answer is 'Many,'" GreenWood writes. "If you give the question thought, I suspect you will find just as many in your life. Whether it's your age, a pattern of threes you see on a clock, an odometer, or an address, and in names of places and things, it cannot help but make you smile at these reminders that God or his angels are always near."
