Peaceful meditations in this life

Spiritual theme was beautiful. The book helps you slow down in this fast paced world.

Full of Grace

John O’Donahue’s Anam Cara is a message of tender love encouraging the reader to drop the confines of the outer world. He does this by sharing his sacred self through the lens of his Celtic spirituality.

Being of Irish heritage I felt so akin to his spiritual concepts about the whole person including rejecting shame about sensuality and taking the sacred approach of rejoicing in the gift of our divine bodies.

A lovely tapestry of grace woven with threads of tenderness, love, peace, honesty, and heart that comforts the human spirit through our journey in life and into the experience of death.

Profound

If I could take only one book to a deserted island, this would be the book.

Good companion in sorrow and joy

I had to accustom to the Irish brogue, but then enjoyed its quiet lilt.

Excerpts from Anam Cara were sent to me when my husband died. The words resonated and I sought to hear the whole work.

I have now been introduced to the masterful writer and expansive thinker that is John O’Donohue. I invite others to take the journey with Anam Cara, a book others point to as seminal to John O’Donohue’s thinking.
