Australia’s ‘Miracle Man’ Celebrates 21 years

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.
