Scott Blum (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 7, 2009

“Waiting for Autumn is a warm and revealing book about personal transformation. Its narrative reveals the honesty of one who has really walked the path of forgiveness and divine connection and found the rewards of intuition, mission, and synchronistic flow. This book will speak to everyone.”
— James Redfield, the author of The Celestine Prophecy

“A thrilling story, a deep metaphysical message, a breath of fresh air.”
— Gay Hendricks, Ph.D., the author of Five Wishes and co-author of Conscious Loving

“A journey of personal and spiritual discovery that opens up our hearts and fills us with divine wisdom and inspiration.”
— Debbie Ford, the author of The Dark Side of the Light Chasers and Why Good People Do Bad Things

In the tradition of the bestseller Eat, Pray, Love and spiritual classics such as The Alchemist, Way of the Peaceful Warrior, and The Celestine Prophecy, Waiting for Autumn is an enchanting semiautobiographical parable that reveals a deep and powerful message. This book follows Scott, an inquisitive seeker who meets a mysterious cardboard-sign-toting homeless man named Robert who has a sleepy black Lab puppy at his side and a penchant for changing lives.

Sparked by Robert’s unconventional wisdom, Scott is thrust into a spiritual adventure where he attempts to heal his past while confronting the spirit of his dead fiancée. He ultimately faces an extraordinary dilemma between his spiritual calling and earthly responsibilities.

Join Scott as he visits unseen worlds on his unique journey of self-discovery, where various spiritual modalities are revealed, including shamanic soul retrieval, energy healing, conscious eating, nature-spirit communication, kirtan, ancestral healing, and more. This metaphysical page-turner is a fascinating exploration of one humble soul’s profound awakening—with a surprise ending that will warm your heart.

Scott Blum has done it again! After reading Summer Path, which just happened to have been a free download to my computer, I had to purchase his next book Waiting for Autumn. This was the first book that I pre-ordered before it even hit the bookstore shelves. I waited for more than a month for it's release and must say that when it arrived I wasn't disappointed!

The book is one that is a page turner and can easily be read in an afternoon. The chapters are short but filled with action and emotion and the ending of the book comes with a bit of a surprise. I'd love to elaborate on the story but for fear of revealing too much to the reader, I won't. I will say that it definitely is NOT a disappointment and look forward to Scott's next book!

Judith Orloff, MD (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Waiting for Autumn (Hardcover)

Waiting for Autumn by DailyOM co-founder Scott Blum, is an uplifting story about the power of healing that is interwoven with Scott's personal experiences. This is a story that comes from the heart. This book tells of a seeker who meets a mysterious cardboard-sign-toting homeless man named Robert who has a sleepy puppy at his side and a skill for changing lives. Sparked by Robert's unconventional wisdom, Scott is thrust into a spiritual adventure where he attempts to heal his past while confronting the spirit of his fiancee. Lovely and inspiring.

I received Waiting For Autumn as a gift a couple of weeks ago. Something drew me to read it ahead of many other books and projects. I was not disappointed. Scott Blum has painted a wonderful picture of his journey and events that led to his accelerated connection to Spirit. His story is well worth reading, as there are several twists to it that will come as a surprise.
Seldom have we had anyone write a diary of sorts to explain what they went through. Scott's thoughts and experiences may be hard for some people to understand, but he is bold and clear in words. For me, it was a great way to have a further understanding of the link that we have between the physical world and the beauty and availability of the world of God and Spirit. If you truly understand what he went through, then you will also not be able to look at some of the nuances in life the same way.
