Amazon.com Review:
Hoping to demystify the miraculous, author John Gray (Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus) offers a handbook on creating 'practical miracles.' Having experienced a personal miracle when he recovered from near blindness, Gray began to realize that humans could actually participate in creating their own miracles. 'Miracles don't just happen for some and not for others,' he notes. 'They occur when specific conditions are nurtured.' In order to nurture these conditions, Gray suggests living by nine guiding principles, including 'Love as if for the first time,' 'Work as if money didn't matter,' and 'Relax as if everything will be okay.'
Typical of Gray, he has narrowed his book down into concise formulas, following step-by-step, stage-by-stage plans and exercises. This compulsion to script his theories into neat little self-help packages is his downfall, limiting what could have been a meaningful and important discussion about miracle making in everyday life. Instead, we can't help feeling that he's simply holding up a bottle of his latest formula and saying, 'Ladies from Venus, gentlemen from Mars, for just under $20 you too can be a miracle maker....' Nonetheless, his heart seems to be in the right place and there are passages of impressive wisdom. Even hardcore skeptics could live a better life (and may even encounter a miracle or two) by following his excellent list of guiding principles. --Gail Hudson

Rating:  - The worst book I have ever read
I got this book because of the fame of John Gary and the big title of the book. I managed to go through half of the book and finally, I cannot stand it and throw it away.
Basically, this book gives you 9 principles to bring miracles to your life, like eating healthy, love as if it is your first love, blablablah. Yeah, it is true, but it is also totally vain and misleading. For example, everybody knows that if you eat healthy food and work out intensively four times a week, two hours ... Read More
Rating:  - Wonderful Nightly Reading!
I enjoyed this book but if you are a person that doesn't like John Gray then don't waste any of our time reading this book only to down it afterward. I think the book is great and being a Reiki Master I loved the section about recharging technique in which I tried and really felt the energy flowing from my elbows to my fingertips. I haven't tried connecting to the energy in this manner before and really felt the affects for a while afterward. I am going to use the technique often.

Albert Einstein's famous quote sums up the message of this book: "There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is."
A large part describes the cultural and historical changes that have taken place that now allow miracles to take place by common people - rather than by the stereotypical monks that live in the mountains.
Smashing old and limiting beliefs with inspiring and liberating ideas, John Gray provides ... Read More

This book is great, no matter what your stage of life. If you are ready to change your life and learn more about yourself and others, this book was meant for you. Miracles are possible.
Rating:  - Not Worth the Time
I skimmed John Gray's "Practical Miracles for Mars & Venus," but couldn't stomach the hype. The first 150 pages are about the power of positive thinking and of belief in miracles. (Gray claims that the world has matured to the point that miracles are now available to anyone, at any time. Democracy and religious tolerance are two of the enabling changes.) Gray then sketches some simple techniques for physical and emotional healing: eat right; breath deeply; use a Chi Gong exercise to "recharge healing ... Read More
