My miracle began last year. After having had routine ultrasounds for more than twenty years, something wasn’t right this time. I completed the usual tests in August 2008. The results of the mammogram showed no evidence of breast cancer. The results from the ultrasound showed fibroadenomas, not breast cancer. I returned to my doctor saying the lump was sore. He ordered a core biopsy which returned positive for breast cancer. An MRI of the breast was ordered and this confirmed breast cancer. If it had not been for my persistence, the breast cancer would have gone undetected. I am alive today after surgery and radiotherapy and am currently having chemotherapy. This is my miracle. ...

ByDr. michael kissane (REAL NAME) (Qld, Australia)- See all my reviews
I read the book on a recent plane trip and begun using the Expect a Miracle cards that Dr John has on the back page upon landing at the car hire place, the woman behind the counter told me she was unwell and really needed the Expect a Miracle card in her life, my little bonus other than seeing a spark of hope in her eyes was an upgraded hire car.

1You Can.... Expect A Miracle!,November 22, 2008

ByCheryl Liddy "Cheryl Gisborne"(REAL NAME) (Vic Australia)- See all my reviews
As Soon as I saw this title I thought I must read this book. It is a small book with a big impact not only about hope & humanity, but it shows that no matter where we are, or where we come from, life is a miracle. Life is what we make of it. Sometimes it takes bite size pieces to show us the way, others times things happen out of total surprise. I believe in "You can ... Expect a Miracle", no matter how big or small. This book reminds us all that it is important to keep believing, in others and ourselves. Congratulations John you do live a life of miracles.

1It just draws you in and lifts you up,November 16, 2008

ByGischiro(REAL NAME) ( Australia)- See all my reviews
"Expect a Miracle" is a easy read. Somewhat like the Chicken Soup books, each story builds you up, lifts your soul and you just want more and more. The stories are well written many with a gentle humour and short enough that you can easily fit in another one before you put it down. All too soon, the book is finished, and .... well I'm going out to get my "expect a miracle" cards printed so that I too can experience the hope and expectation that these little cards produce. Thank you Dr. John on occasion we get lost in this tired old world and forget that miracles do happen. We need to be reminded of the good stuff, and that's what this book does

1Expect miracles,November 16, 2008

ByMario Stefano - See all my reviews
You get what you really expect in life. Think want you want, say what you want and act for what you want. Expand your imagination and expect more from life. What was coined a miracle 100 years ago is frequently an everyday occurrence today due to technology. Our minds and imagination bring us more joy than technology. Your conscious thought will allow you to drive your future. Advance your brain to receive miracles. Read about them, ask about them find people that have experienced them. I see miracles everyday (big and small) since reading Expect a Miracle. Buy this book!

1YOU ARE A MIRACLE, ,November 12, 2008

ByDonald Mcdowall(Canberra, Australia) - See all my reviews
So many people run around looking for miracles when they don't realize that they are the miracle. Waking up each day is that start of that miracle. Going to bed knowing you have contributed to the good of man/woman kind is a great feeling. This wonderful book that Dr. Hinwood has authored inspires the reader to feel just this way. Every time you feel life is passing you by just pick up "Expect a Miracle" and read anywhere the pages open. You will find something to inspire you right there. It is small enough to carry everywhere and of such great value that you can give it to everyone you respect and want to help. I am very impressed with the positive stories about their lives and wonderful example that the Hinwoods are to the world. I look forward to more great collections of these stories

ByKathleen M. Lawson "chirokath(Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
An eclectic collection of fabulously fun, heartwarming, and inspirational accounts of the power of possibility and what we choose to focus on. This easy read is a terrific and lighthearted reminder that we can find a miracle anywhere, once we turn our focus and attention to them and build an expectant attitude. Often irreverent and always entertaining, this little gem is not a religious diatribe, but rather an invitation to embrace life and run with the possibility of a miracle in every day, for anyone!

1eThis little book can change your life if you let it,November 6, 2008

ByTrish Findlay(Brisbane QLD, Australia) - See all my reviews
By Trish Findlay (Brisbane QLD, Australia) - See all my reviews "You Can... Expect A Miracle!" may be a small book, but it packs a huge punch. Every story in the book is an example of how the way we think determines the outcome of our lives. The contribution from Gilles Lamarche about his son in "the Power that made the body heals the body" had a profound effect on my thinking when I first read it, bringing the realisation the we place so many limits on what might happen, merely by our ingrained beliefs and patterns of thought. I recommend this this very readable book to anyone; let the message of hope, encouragement and inspiration become part of your life, too.

1awe-inspiring anecdotal experiential wisdom,November 6, 2008

ByN. Moloney "Jennifer Maeve(Garden City, NY) - See all my reviews
In "You Can... Expect a Miracle," Dr. John Hinwood creates and compiles for the reader, an empowering, enlightening and heartfelt journey into the lives of seemingly ordinary people, who remind us of how extraordinary we all are. He awakens the reader to the reality that the reputed mundane is replete with profundity. By re-contextualizing the the concept of miracles, he allows the reader to realize for themselves that how we perceive life and the miraculous can dramatically impact our lives in such a way that enables us to see all experiences and aspects of life as keys to creating a new paradigm for humanity, one in which miracles become our norm. Thank you Dr. John Hinwood for reminding us of the sanctity of all experiential wisdom.0 Every moment of our lives is an opportunity to alchemize and create treasure troves of experience.

ByMrs. Lone H. Armitage(Brisbane, Australia) - See all my reviews
Dearest John, As a mother of 2 beautiful and busy children and wife of a successful self employed chiropractor (read: bookkeeper, support role etc. etc.), I rarely have time to read a book. When I was presented with your new book "You can... EXPECT A MIRACLE", I could not put it down and found myself reading while doing chores!!! Your book is easy to read and relate to and shows that we can all indeed expect a miracle! I have even read a couple of the stories to my children. This book is for everybody!! Thank you, Dr. John Hinwood, for sharing your wisdom with the rest of the world! Lots of love, Lone Hoffmann Armitage

1This book is a gem!,November 4, 2008

ByDr. Ely Lazar(Shenton Park, West Australia Australia) - See all my reviews
What makes this book so great is that all the people that wrote of their experiences are co-creators of this book. While Dr John Hinwood created the idea and contributes with a number of stories, it is the varied experiences shared by all the contributors that makes this book so inspiring. The book is broken up into themes ranging from Miracles of Attitude to Miracles of Family, to Miracles of Health. Most of the stories have inspiring quotes at the end ranging from people such as Benjamin Franklin to Arthur Ashe to Leonardo Da Vinci. Some the stories are humorous such as"The Fickle Finger of Fate" by Dr John Hinwood, about his experience with an immigration office at LAX. Others are deadly serious such as "Space Invaders" by Dr Keith Livingstone, about his battle with a brain tumor. In fact, this I found most inspiring. The theme that comes through and through is that Miracles are Normal and occur all around us if we take the time to look for them and appreciate them.

1Miracle workers are everywhere,November 3, 2008

ByGretchen Bernard(Zürich, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
I have so enjoyed all of the stories of miracle workers!!! Especially the stories from Gilles Lamarche about "the Power that made the body heals the body", the Mad dogs and Cowboys from John Demartini that "no one can take away one's love or wisdom and not to judge a book by the cover", the "power the belief of a parent brings to a lifetime" from Ely Lazar, always seeing the "silver lining" in any situation delivered to us by Scott Schilling, and the wonderful messages John & Judy Hinwood bring to all of us with their countless stories about miracles. Especially John Hinwood's story about those who have been butchered by an inappropriate health care practitioner (doctor or therapist of any sort!), with his message that there are still many wonderful, caring, real and true helpers of society out there! You Can... Expect a Miracle!

1The Hinwoods live an outpoured life,October 29, 2008

ByDr. Keith H. Charlton(Brisbane, Queensland) - See all my reviews
IWe are so often shaped by the people we meet and the books we read. Sometimes we meet the people via their books. In the decades I have known Drs John and Judy Hinwood, they have always lived selflessly (sometimes to their cost). When faced with adversity themselves or in others, their relentless generosity of spirit shines through, and now this little tome of encouragement and inspiration will carry their message to so many who don't get to meet them face to face, but will benefit from getting to know them and the miracles message.

1 Little ripper!,September 20, 2008

ByJoanne L. Livingston(Australia) - See all my reviews
This is a more than slightly biased review as I am the wife of one of the contributors and have known the author for years! This is an "easy read" before bed, and the stories are all true. In a nutshell- Dr John's principle of concentrating only on ultimate expectation has helped me and my husband through an extremely difficult year where he has thrived/survived a "terminal" brain tumour and 2 neuro-surgeries while writing and publishing his own book on training for middle distance. In this time we have gone from being financially crippled, helpless and hopeless at the time of collapse to now being financially independent and comfortably well off, with Keith's book being released next month on Amazon (Healthy Intelligent Training). This financial miracle required Keith to be written off for life insurance purposes, but hey, he's still here and kicking and expecting to continue, God willing. We just did as the book said and plastered John's unique "Expect a Miracle" cards (they're in the book) everywhere around the house, and bothered God an awful lot! (We're supposed to you know!). An easy read, and like anything, if you JUST DO IT your life might change forever!

ByMara Denham "Mighty M"(Brisbane, Australia) - See all my reviews
What a truely inspirational book ! It has been over 10 years since I have had the time to read a book that wasn't directly related to work or business. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I can't explain completely the feelings and emotions I had but it was all positive. The book has given me a new zest for life. It has given me energy and inspiration in all aspects of my life. I am also going to start reading more books that I actually want to read rather than have to read. I would recommend having this book with you at all times and when you are feeling a little down or frustrated simply read one of the feel good stories - it will certainly change your attitude to life.

1Great Bedtime Stories ,February 10, 2009

ByAmy N. Hallowes "Amy Hallowes"(San Francisco, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
Did you know that you often wake up the next day in the frame of mind you went to bed with? That's why it is so important to have good thoughts, prayers, conversations, relations, etc. before ending your day in sleep. I like to read before sleeping, and I found this book to be wonderful bedtime reading. It leaves me at the end of the day, with feelings of hope, inspiration, warmth, and renewal, and I can't think of a better way to end my day - and so also begin another. I highly recommend this book for yourself or for someone you love. I also have starting thinking with an "Expect A Miracle," mindset, and it works! Thank you John for a great work of inspiration and hope in a time where we can all use it. Amy Hallowes Hado Instructor and Journalist Office of Dr. Masaru Emoto

ByDr. Jonathan Wilson - See all my reviews
I am a Chiropractor from the UK and have known Dr Hinwood for several years; he has been a great inspiration to me. For many years Dr Hinwood has given those he meets a card with the simple words - "Expect a Miracle". This book is a collection of stories helping us to always remember that the impossible can happen and when it happens to us we see these miracles in our lives. Having the examples of John's best loved experiences has helped me to always go about life expecting a miracle - the best part; I now have my own stories making my life richer. And by the way I always carry my `Expect a Miracle' card with me. Great book John
