A Treasure

To open this book and begin to read is to discover a treasure trunk full of words, strung exquisitely together with threads of deep meaning. Poetic blessings for many of life's experiences are mixed with personal yet eternal prose teaching about the nature and power of blessing, and how it functions in the life of the individual and the community. I will always keep this book close at hand.

A Treasure!

This is a beautiful book, a treasure! I've purchased additional copies for friends, and I'm certain they will love it.

Love this Book

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.

A gift for every human soul

In his final book before his all-too-early death, John O'Donohue has given us a gift most precious. His exquisite words and images capture an extraordinary range of soulful experience, companioned beautifully by his rare capacity to offer us solace of the deepest sort, to soothe our wounded places so that our spirit might be coaxed to wonder and to hope. Blessed we are to be blessed with such a book, truly a treasure for a lifetime -- one that carries in its pages limitless healing and a wondrous opening to enlightenment and joy.

A feast for the Spirit ... reclaiming a lost art

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.

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.
