The Return of the Hummingbird Wizard: An Angelic Encounter for Modern Times

From the Cultured Madness of Hollywood to the Crisis of 9/11 comes an Angelic Encounter for the New Millennium. Finally there's a book that dares to ask the question: Is it possible that the animals we encounter in our lives are often angels in disguise? And answers it with a resounding, “Yes!"

Written as visionary fiction, The Return of the Hummingbird Wizard is also the first book ever that manages to take a profoundly effective course in spiritual awareness and play it off the insanity chic that has become Hollywood. As such, it brings its readers an extraordinary combination of biting social satire and life-affirming spiritual lessons — taught by an angel in the character of a hummingbird — and weaves them into an often touching yet irreverently amusing book about the redemption of human spirit.

Subtitled "An Angelic Encounter for Modern Times," The Return of the Hummingbird Wizard also raises this question: Can spiritual development be taught as a crash course, especially if your life may depend upon it?

And that brings us to the rest of the story. Jonathan Vieren is a 50-something Hollywood producer on the downside of his industry cachet who, among other things, has just been hit with a terminal cancer prognosis that brings him to the end of his rope (and perhaps the end of his days). That's when a male hummingbird on his hillside home in Malibu mysteriously weaves himself into Jonathan's days and nights and offers him a crash course in spiritual awareness — The Ten songs of the Hummingbird — that can quite possibly save his.

Near his wits end, Jonathan takes the cheeky little bird up on his offer. And what follows is a journey of self-discovery filled with love and inner peace, but also nicely spiced with wit, wisdom, good common sense, and some very satirical ways of looking at the Hollywood film community with a kind of loving impatience and a strong sense of what truly matters in life.

Written poetically and yet with a driving sense of urgency, The Return of the Hummingbird Wizard takes us on a journey along the colorful corridors of jaded Tinsel Town, through the stratospheres of higher consciousness, and down to the calamity and healing of 9/11. As such, it offers the reader a very original story that it is a feast for the mind, candy for the wit, and healing for the heart.

This Special Third Edition of The Return of the Hummingbird Wizard is his Robert Ahola’s fifth work of book-length fiction.
