In 2008, when Executive Books Inc. in the US published You Can EXPECT A MIRACLE … The Book To Change Your Life, I was excited that this simple, yet very powerful message would be available in bookstores and online to support the lives of people in many countries. Four months later, the Australian edition was published, and last year the e-book edition became available online with Kindle and Smashwords and from our online store. At the time of the release of the book, I had personally handed out over 50,000 Expect A Miracle cards to clients and people I’d met all over the world. Four years on, that number of Expect A Miracle cards I have handed out has moved to over 95,000. Who knows how many hundreds of thousands or maybe even millions of cards have been printed by people from around the world who visit the website daily. In Australia over the past year, on a number of occasions, I have had people give me an Expect A Miracle card. When I have shared with them that I’m ‘The Miracle Man’ and the cards started with me 26 years ago, they are amazed, and on each occasion the person involved has displayed a wonderful attitude of gratitude. In the four years since the book has been published in the US and Australia, it has gone to two printings and been available in bookstores across the country. I enjoyed doing many book signings at Angus & Robertson in Australia, and at Borders and Barnes and Noble in the US. Probably the best thing for me personally is that so many people I give a card to, no matter what their station in life is, turn the card over to find it blank on the back. After a pause, I say, Would you like a miracle? They almost always say, Oh yes! The change in state of most individuals on receiving the card, reading the words Expect A Miracle, turning the card over to find no name, no advertising, no gimmick, purely a message of hope, is heart-rending to witness. Most people move to an enlivened state of wellbeing after reading these three powerful words. For some, who only show a glimmer of hope that it’s possible for their life to be even a bit better than it is right now, it can be a hugely uplifting event.
