Soon after Mark Shaw’s stepsons and infamous Indiana University basketball coach Bobby Knight made international headlines leading to the coach’s firing, Shaw woke up to a spiritual journey that led him down the road to a miracle.
Born in small-town Indiana after World War II, he traversed America trying his hand at a multitude of careers. As a criminal defense attorney, newspaper co-publisher, television personality, radio talk show host, film producer, and prolific author, he crossed paths with celebrities including Paul Newman, James Stewart, Jack Nicholson, Arnold Palmer and Joan Baez. But it wasn’t until losing his marriage and stepchildren to the drama of the “Knightmare,” that he could face his demons and welcome a Higher Power into his world. After falling in love again and graduating from seminary, Shaw, childless at sixty-five years old, was now ready for his destiny, one that would complete him. An inspiring and true tale filled with stories that will surprise, amuse, and move you, Road to a Miracle
will open your heart, mind and spirit to any miracle that may be winding its way toward you.

“Mark Shaw has been fearless in following his heart.”
– Patrick Hasburgh, Author, Aspen Pulp
“Mark Shaw discovers that the double-edged sword of celebrity culture cuts both ways, forcing him to confront his own demons through a ‘Knightmare’ and then experience a miracle appearing out of nowhere.”
— Don Lattin, bestselling author, The Harvard Psychedelic Club
“What an eclectic life! From F. Lee Bailey to Pastor Rick Warren, Bobby Knight to Don Larsen, the John Denver look-alike to a blessed miracle. This is a fun read.”
— SQuire Rushnell, bestselling author, When God Winks

Amazon review from JD: There is more than one Miracle going on in this journey…each one, in it’s own strange way, leading to the discovery of beautiful Marni. The road had to be traveled, each stop had to be made, the timing had to be perfect. It is a fascinating trip, a wonderful story, heartwarming and hopeful. I am smiling.

Congratulations to Eddie Fischer for winning July’s “miracle” contest!! Here is what a miracle means to Eddie: “Miracle to me means after all measures have been exhausted and that uneasiness in our bellies consumes us with worry and BAM for reasons unexplainable to logic knowledge a happening occurs and total resolve and ease of spirit occurs. When that rare event happens then a MIRACLE has occurred”
