A comfort to have around

"I love this book. I bought it after a second trimester pregnancy loss, and its been so comforting to read blessings appropriate for that loss, and for so many other contexts and situations in life."

Bonnie (5/5)

Beautiful little gem of a book

"Of course it would take an Irishman to write something as precious and poignant as this! Recommended for people who need to rekindle their desire for ritual - and anyone who wants to slow life down and appreciate the little moments. This book is filled with secular blessings for every occasion. Every now and then the author's Catholicism will come up, but I don't see a problem with it - it's part of his culture, and so part of his life and art. Definitely a book I will be gifting to friends :D"

To Bless the Space Between Us

"John ODonohue, poet and philosopher, delves deeply into his Celtic heritage to offer blessings that lift our lives into wonder. He blesses the space between us, touching into the hearts longing for words and images to honour times of birth, marriage, anniversaries; times of struggle, loss, triumph and new beginnings. HIs Blessings clothe our ordinary experiences in a shimmering beauty, awakening us to awareness of the sacredness of our lives."

Anne M. (5/5)

Praise for John O’Donohue

“John O’Donohue is a man of the soul. His scholarly meditation on the continuing relevance of Ireland’s spiritual heritage has become a publishing phenomenon.…”
London Times

Anam Cara

“A lively spiritual companion to all Celts—or to those who are Celtic in their hearts.”
Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Anam Cara is a radiant source of wisdom, a link between the human and the divine. This work is a blessed, rare gem.”
—Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Be Careful What You Pray For and Healing Words

“This beautifully written book proves that tireless wisdom can bring an amazing understanding about ourselves and the world around us even today.”
—Dannion Brinkley author of Saved by the Light and At Peace in the Light
Eternal Echoes

“O’Donohue has produced a treasury for readers of all faiths. A demanding, high-wire existentialist adventure that will inspire readers to re-evaluate their goals and ways of being in the world. O’Donohue ends each chapter with a lyrical blessing or prayer, and his book itself is a profound, healing prayer.”
Publishers Weekly
