Book Description

Publication Date: October 29, 2004

Can spiritual awareness be taught as a crash course, especially if your life may depend upon it? It is late winter in 2001. Jonathan Vieren is a 50 something Hollywood screenwriter and producer on the downside of his industry cachet prognosis that appears to be terminal. That's when he encounters a male hummingbird on his hillside home in Malibu who leads him to a course in spiritual awareness that very well may save his life. Long given to believe that our creature companions are in truth angelic messengers, Jonathan takes this bird (whom he nicknames "The Hummingbord Wizard") up on his offer. In a journey that takes us from the corridors of Tinsel Town to the aftermath of 9/11, The Return of the Hummingbird Wizard is a witty, engaging, transformational tale of human redemption that lifts the spirit even as it heals the heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stimulating, interesting, spiritual and entertaining, June 9, 2006

This review is from: How Emotional Could You Get? (Paperback)

I just finished this book and was impressed with the content and the philosophical, ethical, historical, scientific and literary connections used in presenting the interesting story. I was particularly impressed with the strong emphasis of seeing the good and the positive in others as opposed to (typical) seeing the negative. The book is a current day Socratic dialog. The Second Song certainly relates to Meno. I was not aware of the powerful William Blake quote "A truth that's told with bad intent beats any lie we could invent" until I read it in this book. Politicians have become masters of this.

The book as fiction was stimulating, interesting and entertaining. However, more important to me, it was a helpful spiritual book.

The Return of the Hummingbird Wizard is just flat exceptional. Penned as a visionary fiction, it is poetic, touching and hilarious - all often on the very same page. Its "Ten Songs of the Hummingbird" are a mixture of profoundly new spiritual strains of thought and time-tested philosophical credos. And they all work. Apply them in your daily life and watch the changes come. It's also the most beautiful affirmation of the angelic in our lives all presented in the warm and familiar world of animals. Read it. You'll love it.

The Return Of The Hummingbird Wizard is the story of Jonathan Vieren, a middle-aged Hollywood screenwriter and producer whose professional career is going into decline, and who has just received news from his doctor that his last medical checkup revealed what looks to be a terminal cancer. What Jonathan needs is some kind of crash course in how to come to grips with what has become of his life. That's when he encounters a male hummingbird on his hillside home in Malibu. This feathered guide whom Jonathan believes is a kind of angelic messenger proceeds to give him an instructive course in spiritual awareness that just might save his life. In The Return Of The Hummingbird Wizard, author Robert Joseph Ahola has crafted a work of spiritually inspiring fiction that is as thoughtful and thought-provoking as it is entertaining and engaging.
