Gentle wise companion

If you have ever been blessed with a friend, one whom you may see rarely but when it aligns for a reunion, you spend every minute savoring the good conversation that has accumulated with an acute hunger — if such a blessing has ever been a part of your life, you will find it replicated by listening to this audio book.

Remember our infinite possibilities

I love all of John O'Donohue's works. His method of helping all of us to see beyond what the tangible and socio economic world tells us is real makes my heart sing.

soul food.

each word resonated with my soul. I will listen to this again and again to feed and nurture my heart. essential listening for a rough political period.

Walking in Wonder is exceptional

What an amazing production about an extraordinary individual. As he has said words are a living vehicle, and these words, narration and content prove his observation. As an artist, I have been carving time, motion and color for forty years...John O’Donohue’s words, his deep insights are masterpieces without question.

he wove words into the most beautiful tapestry

his words evoke a sense of wonder and courageous curiosity. you cannot help but be moved by the insight and honesty of a man who truly lived his life

Exactly the right book at exactly the right time.

This book offers a rare alchemy of insights from across time and distance from many great voyagers of thought and spirit. If life has lulled you into the mundane and meaningless, here is a reminder of the wonder and depth of your own existence.

Pick it up every day and read a passage to get through the Day.

I’m not a Believer but I have no problem drawing on O’Donohue’s Reflections on Life and the Wisdom this book offers. His Brother has done a beautiful job of condensing John’s Poetry, Blessings and wide-ranging Influences into a work accessible to anyone of any age.

I would treat it the way Evangelicals read passages from their Bible, except that it’s much better written and more useful in navigating the Realities of Life on this Planet.

This is a Five Star Book if there ever was one. *****

A wonderful, inspiring book. I am grateful for the gifted insights on so many aspects of wonder.

Great listen

John O'Donohue's work, whether poetry, books or in this case, radio talks and sermons, is always amazing. His insights are profound, his world view thought provoking and inspirational, and his theology gentle and very, very beautiful.
Pat O'Donohue's narration is fantastic - I love the connection he obviously has with John O'Donohue's work.

Amazing

John is a legend and his brother's voice deep, soothing and easy to ingest. Like a clear sunray taken in by a body cold and in need of warmth.

Awesome

John left the world an eternal blessing when he wrote this book. what an amazing person he must have been. the parts on aging and dying should be shared with everyone.

This audio book speaks to your Soul! Simply a masterpiece!

A beautifully narrated book that genuinely speaks directly to your soul.
Deeply sensitive and thought provoking, highlighting a fast changing world that is out of sync with Nature. This book gently stirs deep seated memories that we are born from the earth and forever connected to it.

I was carried by the surprise of its own unfolding

A collection of thoughts, ideas and aspirations generated within a heart of vision and purity. I am inspired and filled with courage and joy. A soulful book to cherish.

Well worth listening to

I am a fan of JohnO’Donoghue’s work. I appreciate what he has to say, it helps me understand what life is about in a helpful way. I was slow to buy this book because it wasn’t all written by him. Perverted the integrity with this was put together was impressive, in addition to finding more areas of John’s wisdom, I got a picture of the author from a different perspective.
