About Scott
R. Scott Osborne is passionate about his faith, about his family, about his church, about the Jewish roots of Christianity, and about investing in the lives of others. He wants everyone to know that “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.” (John 3:16, NRSVCE).
Scott lives in Columbus, Ohio with the love of his life, Daryse, to whom he has been married over 45 years. They both grew up in Christian homes and have served Christ together since their wedding. They are blessed with two daughters, two sons-in-law and eight grandchildren. Chloe lives in Florida with her husband and three sons, Hannah lives in Ohio with her husband and five children.
Through the years, Scott served in various lay leadership roles in his local church, during which time he regularly taught the Bible, led small groups, and was active in worship ministry. He also volunteers at crisis pregnancy centers where he consults with male clients and leads post-abortion recovery groups for men. Scott has two degrees in engineering and spent most of his career in the medical products industry. His career “fun fact” is that he is a co-inventor on eight U.S. patents. He now works in a senior leadership position at a university.

“I recently purchased your book and I love it! It truly is a Blessing. I have to tell you, each day I put a note in my daughter’s, lunch for school. The other day I chose one of the blessings out of your book. She came home and said “mom, I loved your note today, it was the best and it meant the world to me.” She’s 8 years old and “gets it.” Thank you for giving our family a wonderful tool to use to build into our lives God’s truths.”
“Just wanted to let you know by example how far reaching an impact the book God gave you has had in people’s lives. I send a blessing, usually 2 or 3 daily, and the response in several cases was such that it came at a time when the “waters were rising”, to coin a phrase. As I say, thanks to your obedience to Him in setting His words to paper. I feel I’m embarking on a small blessing ministry, if there is such a thing. I’m in awe of how God can move.”
“The notion of using blessings in daily life is both poignant and essential in our culture and our personal lives. A regular part of my inspirational reading, this book has allowed me to find words of life for friends and family members that become relevant for multiple occasions. From birthdays to weddings, sickness to success, these blessings are imperative to living a full life. We should all learn how to use the Word of God to birth greatness in those around us, and this book is a great start. It is without question a must-own!”
