Product Description

From the author of the bestselling Anam Cara comes a beautiful collection of blessings to help readers through both the everyday and the extraordinary events of their lives.

John O’Donohue, Irish teacher and poet, has been widely praised for his gift of drawing on Celtic spiritual traditions to create words of inspiration and wisdom for today. In To Bless the Space Between Us, his compelling blend of elegant, poetic language and spiritual insight offers readers comfort and encouragement on their journeys through life. O’Donohue looks at life’s thresholds—getting married, having children, starting a new job—and offers invaluable guidelines for making the transition from a known, familiar world into a new, unmapped territory. Most profoundly, however, O’Donohue explains “blessing” as a way of life, as a lens through which the whole world is transformed.

O’Donohue awakens readers to timeless truths and shows the power they have to answer contemporary dilemmas and ease us through periods of change.

Irish author & poet, John O'Donohue was a GIFT to the world. This book was his last before his unexpected death in January. I had the opportunity to hear him speak at a Retreat Center last year.... and he mentioned at that time that he was working on completing "To Bless the Space Between Us" - the book is beautifully written.... and I highly encourage people to "listen" to any of his audio tapes. Anam Cara... an earlier book is my favorite.


5 out of 5 stars to bless the space between us   May 10, 2008
a marvelous book of blessings - a gift from John O'Donohue - who has recently died much too soon...his written legacies will continue to inform, and nurture his readers


4 out of 5 stars Profound Treasure   May 9, 2008
O'Donohue has blessed us with this profound treasure. It is replete with soul - a companion for all the seasons and incidents of life.


5 out of 5 stars This is a MUST-OWN   May 5, 2008
I can't begin to say enough about this book. It is a collection of "blessings" for all occasions, moods and daily events. Buy it. If you own a copy of Anam Cara then you'll be lown away bu this one.
