For the past 21 years Australian chiropractor Dr John Hinwood has been handing out a small white card to almost everyone he has met.

The card has just three words written on it: “Expect a Miracle”

This Christmas marked the 21st anniversary of his crusade. He estimates he has handed out almost 70,000 cards.

John is a crusader for a better life for people. He believes that most people are not aware of the opportunities in their lives.

John and wife, Judy were awarded the International Humanitarian Award from the prestigious Parker Seminars of Dallas, Texas USA this year. Judy is also a chiropractor and the Hinwoods live at Casuarina Beach near the NSW/Queensland border.

The Australian edition of John’s book, You Can Expect A Miracle has just been released. In it are chronicled extraordinary, believe-it-or-not miracles that those who have received his cards have experienced. The book was released in the United States in September and is receiving rave reviews on Amazon.com.

John is conducting a worldwide search for the most outstanding personal miracle with a prize of an around the world trip for two for the winner.

He is a great example of the power of miracles. Suffering from dyslexia as a child he was told that the best he should aspire to was a job as a postal clerk. He overcame his learning difficulties, won a scholarship, completed a Doctor of Chiropractic and went on to establish one of Australia’s most successful chiropractic practices.

In his personal life he adopted three older illiterate children from Chile in 1985. The children are all in 30s now and 1998 the Hinwoods returned to Chile and found their biological family including their separated parents.

For eight years he was President of the Australian Spinal Research Foundation and is now a Fellow of The Australian Institute of Management, one of few health professionals to gain the distinction. He is a widely published academic and was once captain/coach of the Danish national rugby team.

The 62-year-old’s crusade to change people’s lives comes from his many observations through his practice and coaching business that people go through life expecting the worst, create what they believe and miss out on opportunities.

“Henry David Thoreau said most people lead lives of quiet desperation. They want more from life but don’t know how to get it. People need to believe they are worthy of a miracle and that miracles large and small can happen to any one of us at any time,” says Dr Hinwood.

Dr Hinwood’s own experience with miracles include a dramatic escape from a gun pointing hijacker in the Congo and weeks later from a freak blizzard near the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro.

You Can… Expect a Miracle! Book Reviews

Reviews From Amazon “You Can Expect A Miracle” Book

1A Great Inspirational Read!, September 16, 2008
By Edwin C. Burton “Ed (Australia)

Read the book front to back in one sitting. Couldn’t put it down! Explains how YOU can “expect a miracle” and how Dr Hinwood and “friends” have had these miracles (big and small). Get the book, read it and expect your own miracles!

1Transformational book…great stuff!, November 4, 2008
By Dr. Nicholas Armitage

It has been said that our attitude determines our altitude. Thank you Dr. Hinwood for this transformational book which reaffirms the necessity to direct our thoughts towards positive expection for maximum success and fulfillment (in every area). Great stuff!

1Miracle workers are everywhere…, November 3, 2008
By Gretchen Bernard (Zürich, Switzerland)
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!

1 This book is a gem!, November 4, 2008
By Dr. Ely Lazar (Shenton Park, West Australia Australia)

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.

1The Hinwoods’ live an outpoured life, October 29, 2008
By Dr. Keith H. Charlton (Brisbane, Queensland)

We 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
By Joanne L. Livingstone -

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!
