Todd Michael

Todd Michael is the retired medical director of a level III trauma center and ER in Colorado. He practiced medicine in Colorado for 20 years. He received his BS and post-graduate training in Psychology and Philosophy from Iowa State University and his medical doctorate from Des Moines University, College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery in 1987. He was certified in both Advanced Trauma and Cardiac Life Support, held privileges at 12 different medical centers and ERs in Colorado through his career, and was accepted to the Mensa Society in 1985. He had extensive speaking experience on "the circuit" at scores of venues and radio shows, and is the author of over 12 books. During his career he had a number of very private but transformative spiritual experiences while serving badly injured and dying patients, which he describes in detail in his first book, The Evolution Angel. His second two books, The Twelve Conditions of a Miracle and The Hidden Parables are based on meticulous retranslations of critical passages in the synoptic gospels. Delving into the original Greek texts, Michael found "standard translations" lacking in depth, and complexity. Rich layers of additional information were found "hidden" beneath the archaic medieval translations, insights which are surprisingly consistent with cutting-edge modern spirituality and even science, particularly the enigmatic "quantum mysteries" that have stymied scientists for decades. His style is clear and easy to read, and the approach wholly practical rather than theoretical. Each chapter contains a wealth of information on what to actually DO with the information revealed. The author was disabled by an automotive accident and related complications and has since retired in his hometown of Ames, Iowa. He is a painter, and enjoys playing classical piano, primarily the French Impressionists. His greatest passion is for Golden Retrievers. He is very close to his son, Julian Todd Michael, 26, an aerospace engineer at Ball Aerospace in Boulder, to Julian's mother, Lora Michael, as well as to his own mother, "Grandma Nancy," a vigorous 93 year-old also retired in Ames.
