Book Description
When we stand before crucial thresholds in our lives," asks poet and philosopher John O'Donohue, "where can we turn for guidance and protection?" On To Bless the Space Between Us, he shares words of wisdom and encouragement to help us traverse such crossings. Covering seven universal levels--Beginnings, Desires, Thresholds, Homecomings, States of the Heart, Callings, and Beyond Endings--O'Donohue delivers with uncommon clarity and lyrical beauty a series of invocations and blessings for everyday grace and contemplation. To illuminate "pathways of presence through the geography of new worlds," he calls forth the omnipresent aid of the divine that will lead us beyond our limitations. For it is "when we are true to the call of experience," O'Donohue assures, that "we are true to God." In the tradition of his classic Anam Cara (Harper, 1998), To Bless the Space Between Us is presented with an earthy eloquence and incomparable resonance by this master of Celtic consciousness--offering listeners an atmospheric and thought provoking collection that rekindles the passionate heart. Music by acclaimed Irish harpist Aine Minogue.

A feast for the Spirit ... reclaiming a lost art August 29, 2008
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.
A Treasure August 26, 2008
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 gift for every human soul August 17, 2008
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.
I'll read this again and again. August 13, 2008
O'Donohue was so gifted. I will keep this book by my bedside. His compassion and flowing, beautiful language touches the reader's heart. I plan to read all he has written and regret that we will not have more to look forward to. Don't be misled by the title -- this is not a religious book as such, but a poetry for every occasion.
A stunning book August 4, 2008
This is my go to book whenever I need inspiration or any type of quote for a service I am writing. O'Donohue's gentle and insightful words can only get better when you enjoy him reading his work. His death is a tremendous loss to all of us.
