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.

Review Summary: Fine, thoughtful, insightful book Date: 2008-10-05
 
Details: I have purchased many copies of this book to share with friends for its thoughtful and compassionate look at life and its challenges.
 
Review Summary: Healing images Date: 2008-09-29
 
Details: John O'Donohue has used ordinary language creatively, often turning
negatives into positives: e.g. "laboratory of the soul".

I had previously been turned off by some of his ideas and bought the
book because the price was right at the WRITERS ALMANAC web site.
Turned out to be a great idea.
 
Review Summary: A Treasure! Date: 2008-09-07
 
Details: This is a beautiful book, a treasure! I've purchased additional copies for friends, and I'm certain they will love it.
 
Review Summary: Love this Book Date: 2008-09-04
 
Details: I absolutely LOVE this book! My husband & I are planning for a family, when I got this book in the mail I opened randomly to a page somewhere in the middle and magically turned right to the blessing for "The Mother-To-Be"! So amazing! My yoga instructor reads us passages from this book sometimes (how I heard about it) and everytime she does, the peaceful, blessed effect is palpable.
 
Review Summary: A feast for the Spirit ... reclaiming a lost art Date: 2008-08-29
 
Details: John O Donohue introduces the reader to the art of blessing. "It is the modest wish of this book to illuminate the gift that a blessing can be,the doors it can open,the healing and transfiguration it can bring."(ODonohue)
The author poured his heart and soul into creating blessings that speak to the human condition from the cradle to the grave and beyond. He intoduces each of the seven sections of the book with a poetic grace that draws the reader in while linking them to the Source of their own creativity and spirituality.
