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.

“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!”
“My Husband and I have been blessing our children for over a year now. The other evening, as we began to bless our 2 year old son, he said that he wanted to bless us. He stood up on his bed, put his hands on our heads, and began reciting the blessings we’ve spoken over him. Wow! What an awesome moment! God’s word is truly impacting the lives of our family.”
“Your book is a blessing indeed. The book is rich in scriptures. The scriptural applications are most thoughtful and relevant. Your text is well organized and written directly and clearly. The Book of Blessings is going to be very useful in my men’s bible study group. I plan to order several copies of your book for our church library. Congratulations on the publication and ministry of a fine book.”
