Love of the Beautiful; God; and the Passing of John O'Donohue
I discovered John O'Donohue this past year (see my review "Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom") and have been working ever since to bring him to San Francisco's East Bay to speak and conduct a retreat. Unfortunately, as I was putting pen to paper to write my review of "The Invisible Embrace - Beauty," I learned he died in his sleep, January 3, 2008, on vacation near Avignon. He was just 53. ...

Soul Food
The writing is exquisite. It feeds the part of me that responds to poetic language. I take time with this book as a gift to myself when my Spirit is feeling parched. Thank you, John, for sharing your word mastery.

More Wonderful O'Donohue
I already have a deep appreciation of O'Donohue's work and was once again lifted in spirit by this great poet/thinker. I agree with the previous review in that after one side of the tape you will be a fan of O'Donohue. However, some might find Anam Cara a better introduction to this most gentle of souls.

Touches the soul
This book is from the soul, and we all need soul food every now and again. I picked it up in Ireland while chilling out from a broken marriage and it spoke to me like no other book has ever done. With prose like exquisite poetry, John O' Donohue touches the soul with a true taste of spirituality. Very inspirational, it's wonderful to read a work of art that is so "biblical" in it's ability to ...

THE ONGOING JOURNEY
READING THE INFINITE THREAD BROUGHT A LOT OF THINGS TOGETHER FOR ME. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY IT TO THE LOSS OF A RELATIONSHIP IN MY LIFE. I THINK THE BOOK IS CLEAR AND WELL WRITTEN. ALEXANDRA MAKES THE IDEA OF COMMUNICATING INTERNALLY VERY REAL AND VERY POSSIBLE. THERE WERE AREAS THAT JUST CLICKED FOR ME. I AM GRATEFUL THAT SHE COULD EXPERIENCE THESE EVENTS AND PUT THEM SO BEATIFULLY IN TO WORDS TO ...

Spiritual Magic
This audio book by John O'Donohue takes us on an inspirational, and for me an unforgetable journey, into the heart of who we are. O'Donohue's poetic style comes to life in this seminar and his voice reflects his passion and commitment to sharing Celtic wisdom with us all. O'Donohue has the ability to speak about our deep spiritual yearnings, using very simple language and some beautiful ...

Great voice, great content
Spoken audio tapes need to be evaluated not only on the merits of the content, but also the quality of the production -- including the "listenability" of the speaker's voice. Fortunately, this collection of meditative reflections on Celtic spirituality by Irish priest John O'Donohue boasts not only sublimie content, but an aurally pleasing experience as well. O'Donohue's voice is easy for ...

Conamara Blues

Doubleday, 2000

Deceptive Simplicity
At first glance, John O'Donohue's poetry appears simple. That deception is largely due to its brevity and form. Yet it is complex with tiered symbolism. As is frequently the case with poetry, the reader may not "get it" first time through but these verses are worth a second, third, even fourth read. Some, like "Decorum" are so short as to approach the level of Celtic haiku. "Conamara Blues" is ...

Divine Beauty
I wished I could have met John O'Donohue. His poetic qualities are one of the finest in the world. He paints the landscape with his words in the most beautiful colors and shades. I have never been to Ireland but now I now what it looks like. I was most amazed that he managed to talk about God without using a personal pronoun. So sorry we lost this wonderful man to eternity. He helped my to see ...

Fine poetry
Father John O Donohue is a fine, gifted poet. He is a much better poet than prose writer, in my opinion. So if a person does not enjoy his prose works, they may still enjoy his poetry a great deal. Although he is a priest, his poetry is not explicitly religious. Belief in the afterlife is a strong theme in the poems he writes about death. He gives us beautiful and thought-provoking ...

Liberation through Imagination
This work is breathtakinly beautiful. It captures the Celtic love of the imaginative approach to life. In it we learn why the Celts respected the Divine Intellect and the and Divine Will, but resonated especially with the Divine Imagination. The poetry in this tape is so beautiful I had to stop it again and again to savor it. I listen to it over and over and each time I catch something I missed ...
