Making a Miracle

Summary: good book but some inconsistencies
Review: This is a good book written candidly and with a simple writing style . However , as an earlier reviewer has mentioned , the views expressed about hinduism are a bit bizarre and uninformed . Her experience with India and with some people in the country cannot be generalised to form an opinion about hinduism . Religion is a sensitive issue all over the world and she should have been more careful writing about it.

Summary: Making A Miracle
Review: This is an excellent bio by Hunter Tylo, I started reading it one afternoon and could not put it down until I completed the book. It was vey easy to read, this is one of the few books that I have read in one sitting. Tylo's life style in her twenties and early thirties reminded me of my wild times, she and I were both lucky to have found God at the right time. I admire Tylo's courage to expose her private life in order to help someone, I wish I had her strength and class. Obviously she was completely honest and it showed God will Bless her for that. In my opinion the book was funny, scary and extremely sad, especially the parts about Katya and the trip to India. The book proves what a talented and classy lady Hunter is no one could have guessed while watching The Bold and the Beautiful that her life was such a mess. Thank you Hunter for sharing this with us.

Summary: A Story Of Hope & Redemption
Review: This is one book that is for once "real." The experiences described by Hunter Tylo are so vivid and candid - I cannot describe it any other way than gripping! I saw a real human being, complete with the flaws of human nature, giving hope to those who may feel vicitmized at times in their life. The message of hope and stepping out of being a "victim" is so powerful. Whats so great is that you feel like you've found someone's hidden diary, and are peering into a private world that also hits home! It will leave you with courage to face anything.

Summary: A sad biography---I pray for her
Review: Until, I saw Hunter Tylo's interview on The 700 Club Television show, I never heard of her before. That interview in which she put down icons from India disturbed be a little bit. That made me to sit down and read her entire book. I feel very sorry for all the melancholy episodes in her life. Reading her very sad biography, I was reminded of another great book WHY BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE, in which author asks the question, "Where was God when 6 million Jews were slaughtered in Germany?" Hunter makes each one of us to ask the proverbial question, "WHY ME?" I give Hunter Tylo very high marks for her boldness to write minute details about very private moments in her life in a book. She is 100% right when she stated "No one has a perfect life or has made the perfect choices in every circumstance." All of us make thousands of mistakes in our lives and nobody has the right to judge any one of us..I could only cry when she described her little girl's battle against cancer, her fights with her husband and her misunderstandings with her mother. This is an excellent book about a woman who is in search of truth. I feel she is still under a lot of mental pain even today. It was her weak emotional condition that made her to go after drugs, alcohol and sex. Hunter is still searching for that "FINAL ANSWER" in life.

At the same time. unluckily most of her statements about Hinduism [Hindu culture] in the 13th chapter of the book is very bizarre. CHAPTER-13 with its many imaginary spooky and strange things about India, with out adequate corroborative facts, looks like a page out of the movie INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM. Let us look at the facts. She went to India as a broken-hearted woman and fell in the hands ofmost unscrupulous men who took advantage of her weak mental condition. I am shocked to see the persons whom she met in India, did not properly help her,instead made her to indulge in psychotic & psychedelic drugs, alcohol and sex. They also pumped her brains with all kind of cooked up stories about Hinduism. As an author of an international best seller on Hinduism, AM I A HINDU? I know she has been brainwashed to believe false stories about Hindu culture. To begin with smoking opium joints [ page 155], catching cobras [page 158] and having affairs are not the things vast majority of Indians or people who visit India do. Apart from that Hindu icons are just like the cross or Holy Mary's statue in the church, used in worship as a symbol of the "undefinable form-less, name-less God". Unluckily, except from Ms. Hunter's book and her interview on 700 club, I never ever heard of anybody stating that keeping those icons at home make doors to open violently! Hindus worship one and only God Brahman which expresses itself in trillion forms. A Hindu is not worshiping many gods but "One and Only God with many names and many forms". Hunter wrote about virgin sacrifices in Hindu temples page 172] with out describing in which Hindu temple they are conducted in India; she wrote about widows jumping into funeral fire of the husbands [page 173] with out describing who does that that is done according to which Hindu scripture. I do not know which Hindu scripture states that Siva died when a cobra bit his mouth [page 158]..In actual mythological story, Siva swallowed the vomit of a serpent Vasuki to save the world from destruction and that poison gave a blue color to Siva's neck..Hunter Tylo, if you are reading this please write to me. [e-mail] I know she went through a lot of heart aches and I have only sincere love for her search after TRUTH. Kindly understand that I wish her well and hope and pray that she will find solace in the deity of Jesus Christ. That is why I give this book a rating of five.
