The best thing about "The Miracle of Change" is reading
the real-life stories of people, both celebrities and
non-celebrities. Each person talks about Change, how it
affects them and how they learn from it. One of the most
inspring was Michael J. Fox's story. People from all walks
of life talk about their experiences.
This book is a must for anyone going through any changes
in their life. It will definately inspire you and give you
strength.

Unanticipated events always confront us to make changes.
Things change, so do our priorities and values. "The Miracle
of Change" reflects how individuals learn new qualities and
new things about them. ...And either flipping the page
randomly or selecting a particular topic to read helps the
reader gain insights in applying change approriately in
life.

This was a quick and involvng read for me. It got me to
thinking about changes of all kinds in a more positive
light. I would recommend this to anyone going through
anything that seems like upheaval--whether it's divorce, job
change, etc. It can help you to change your thinking from
disaster to great opportunity that was meant to be.

A
book full of wisdom and inspiration, June 7, 1999
Reviewer: A reader
I start a lot of books I never finish but this one
captivated and inspired me all the way through to the end.
In fact, I was sad I had gotten to the end - I wanted more.
If you feel your life is stagnant, not moving in the
direction you'd like but fear making changes, this book is
excellent, aromatic, finger licking good food for thought.
If you're not an adamant protestor of change, it could very
well be the kick you need to start you in forward motion.
I'm the kind of person who kicks and screams and holds onto
the door frame when it comes to accepting change, let alone
welcoming it into my life (ha!). The changes, and hence the
growth, have been very slow coming for me, but coming they
are.
I'm surprised there aren't any other reviews on this
book. For me, it's a keeper, dear to my heart, and the
rarest of books that I will come to again and again for
strength, inspiration and motivation.
Sometimes you find instant comradery in an author - this
is true for me with Dennis Wholey - and I thank him for
writing this book and touching my life.
