PRAISE FOR INSIDE THE MIRACLE
“In Inside the Miracle, Mark Nepo gathers almost thirty years of writing, teaching, and thinking about suffering, healing, and wholeness, drawing on his own transformative experience with illness. With everyday lessons and hard-earned wisdom, he has given us a beautiful testament to the resilience of the human heart, and a guide to facing life’s challenges with strength, grace, and gratitude.”
ARIANNA HUFFINGTON
author of Thrive
“Inside the Miracle is simply the best book I have read in years. Mark Nepo invites us to live a human life—fully, joyously, and without reservation, using all our experiences and vulnerabilities as a precious opportunity to encounter and serve the Mystery. He has blessed us all.”
RACHEL NAOMI REMEN, MD
author of Kitchen Table Wisdom and My Grandfather’s Blessings
“Inside the Miracle will be a miracle for those who read it, especially those going through a difficult time, a big change, a loss, a confusion, a trial by fire. That means everyone born human. Our trials may differ in heat and length, but at the core, we are the same. We need each other, we need insight, and we need help. This book is help. It helps me every time I pick it up and read a poem or a teaching or the brave story of Mark Nepo’s descent and rebirth.”
ELIZABETH LESSER
cofounder of Omega Institute and author of Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow
“A sensitive sharing of the truth. I recommend it highly.”
BERNIE SIEGEL, MD
author of Love, Medicine & Miracles
“In the canyon of his soul, scoured into truth by pain and uncertainty, joy and Mystery, Nepo navigates the deeper currents with prose and poetry that masterfully invites us into those places where only rarely language can reach. Relentlessly refusing to resolve paradox into mere piety, this book is a rare soul-confirming and soul-stretching gift.”
