Anam
Cara: A Book
of Celtic Wisdom
by John O'Donohue
Anam
Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
offers an exploration of the
secret universe we all carry
inside us, the connections we
forge with the worlds of our
friends and loved ones, and
the products of our worlds reflected
in the things we create outside
of ourselves. Anam Cara, Gaelic
for "soul friend,"
is an ancient journey down a
nearly forgotten path of wisdom
into what it means to be human.
Drawing on this age-old perspective,
John O'Donohue helps us to see
ourselves as the Celts did:
we're more than just flesh,
blood, and bone; we comprise
individual worlds. The comprehension
of the sublime architecture
of the worlds we are born with
will engender a new appreciation
for the outside world and the
way we contribute to its evolution.

Beauty:
The Invisible Embrace
Rediscovering the True Sources
of Compassion, Serenity, &
Hope
by
John O'Donohue
The
human soul is hungry for beauty;
we seek it everywherein landscape,
music, art, clothes, furniture,
gardening, companionship, love,
religion, and in ourselves. When
we experience the Beautiful, there
is a wonderful sense of homecoming;
we feel fully alive. Our lives
become illuminated and we come
to glimpse behind the shudder
of appearances, the sure form
of things.
Beauty
is the true priestess of individuation.
But our times are dominated by
anxiety and by what is vulgar,
coarse, and artificial. Were Beauty
to awaken in the fields of politics,
religion, planning, discourse,
and seeing, our world would heal
and fresh wells of hope would
refresh us. Kathleen Raine, the
English poet says: Strangest of
all is the ease with which the
vision is lost, consciousness
contracts, we forget over and
over again, until recollection
is stirred by some icon of that
beauty. Then we remember and wonder
why we ever forgot.

Eternal
Echoes: Celtic Reflections on
Our Yearning to Belong
by John O'Donohue
The
hunger to belong is at the heart
of human nature. For when we find
the place where we are truly supposed
to be, we find ourselves in balance,
and free to experience the divinity
of our world and each other. On
Eternal Echoes, Catholic scholar
John O'Donohue speaks to the "crisis
of belonging" in our midst,
while sharing Celtic insights
into the passage from isolation
to intimacy, and why each of us
must undertake this most challenging
of human endeavors. He escorts
us from Ireland's ancient soil
into the "secret infinity"
we each carry, where we hear the
echoes of our greatest yearning:
to belong. O'Donohue shows that
the eternal values of human life
- truth, unity, justice, beauty,
and love - grow only when we find
sanctuary in family, community,
and divine relationship. Compelling
and original, Eternal Echoes offers
a pilgrimage for our souls and
a map to this Irish way home.
