The Destiny of Miro

About the Book

"The Destiny of Miro" is the story of one man's spiritual search. It begins when Miro's father, answering what he feels is a request from God, kills his family. Only eight-year-old Miro escapes. As the man dies, he curses his boy, shouting, "you cannot escape your destiny!" Miro turns and runs from his father but is forever haunted by this tragic phrase.

Aided by a mysterious "white lady" and an animal guide, Miro's thirty year journey to find his true destiny takes him on a cross country tour of medieval England. Along the way he learns to love all God's creatures; develops his own psychic powers; finds and loses his soul mate; and finally learns only he is responsible for his happiness.

"The Destiny of Miro" was selected as Second Runner-Up for a 2001 Visionary Award from the Coalition of Visionary Retailers.
