	STORY OF THE WEEK WINNER My Miracle of Persistence Date submitted : 2009-04-22 22:08:19 Submitted Into : Miracles of Attitude
Name : Adele Gabbey Location : State : Country :

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. ...

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.

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 Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you?

Think want you want, say what you want and act for what you want. Expand your imagination and expect more from life.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

Report this \| permalink \| Comment This 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.

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!

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.

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! Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you?

I am also going to start reading more books that I actually want to read rather than have to read.

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.
