Awesome and better than the e-book

I listened to the ebook last year snd could not wait to get my hands on the hard book. This book encompasses all dimensions of spirituality. Scott Blum tells his story in an easy to grasp way. It is a must read for anyone on a spiritual journey!!

A lot of insight

I ordered this book, trying to expand my knowledge. After reading the chapters available online, I decided to order the companion book - "Waiting for Autumn". They are both wonderful books, and I am sure that many facing similar situations will gain much insight and help for their own journeys! Even if not facing the same situations, whether you know someone who is or you just want to read a well done book, I would highly suggest both of these books.

A lovely sensitive book

Don, with the help of his sharp witted angel Robert, leads him through an astounding mediation of life and deth and reveals various healing and spiritual concepts, including Walk-ins, animal communication, embodiment, and soul destiny. This journey is one of self-realization in which Don discovers that it's never to late to learn profound life lessons about outselves and our loved ones. I found this book to be revealing,amazing and comforting at the same time. I am a deeply spiritual person and this gave me confirmation to my thoughts and beliefs. This is a worthwhile book to have on your shelf and read when you have questions about illness, death and the process of dying.

Wonderful Read

Summer's Path is a story about transition, integration of life experiences, the lessons of letting go & the possibilities of spirit. The book takes you through the main character's journey of self discovery on a soul level with the help of his walk-in Robert. The book had my attention from the opening page until the last sentence and I also enjoyed how quickly I was able to empathize with many of the Summer's Path characters. It is intelligently written and a wonderful afternoon read.

A Treasure of Spiritual Authenticity

Summer's Path is a book that masterfully achieves a rich and paradigm shifting integration of the sacred and the mundane. The story opens with Don, dying of pancreatic cancer at far too young, uninsured and scrimping on proper treatment in a valiant effort to save his wife the lone burden of lifelong debt. However, the arrival, through dreams at first, of an unexpected spiritual ally (Robert), transforms what first appears to be a desperate death sentence into an adventure of personal reclamation and catalytic transformation. Blum takes the reader on a journey where even something as seemingly menacing as cancer becomes instead a teacher - an opportunity for healing, liberation, and a deeper understanding of life's ultimate mysteries. Don, his wife, and I would say even Robert in the end, are all catapulted into experiences and realizations that bring them into an ever deepening awareness of the profound intelligence behind all of life's dramas. Expect to be both uplifted and challenged by this book. You will grow in unexpected ways as you follow this story that "erases the line between life and death." Part of Blum's gift is his ability to articulate the possibilities of spiritual resurrection without glossing over the simultaneous realities of grief, loss, and the painful personal surrenders sometimes necessary to gather the pearls of spiritual growth. Because of this, Summer's Path is a treasure of spiritual authenticity, a story of mystical human-ness that speaks to the trials and insights of every human journey.
