Picks Up Where "Anam Cara" Leaves Off,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eternal Echoes (Audio Cassette)
A month ago I moved into my first home. As I made packing arrangements I had to decide which books I wanted to leave unpacked and keep near my side as I went through the transition. I chose one book I had read "Anam Cara" and one title I had yet to read "Eternal Echoes: Exploring Our Yearning to Belong."O'Donohue's "Anam Cara" had already brought me tremendous joy and peace, yet a bit of a wake-up call, too. It felt like a good, trusty friend who will always be there whenever the need arises. I'm nearly two-thirds through "Eternal Echoes" and "the friend" is taking me on yet another wonderful journey -- a celebration of home and all that home represents. At least, that's my interpretation. Others, I'm sure, will be touched by other qualities of the work. O'Donohue's writing is wonderful and, in many ways, his prose reminds me of Bruce Chatwin's writing in "On the Black Hill" and some of Chatwin's travel pieces. Except O'Donohue writing is an excellent companion for the travelling soul.

Wondrous,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eternal Echoes: Exploring Our Yearning to Belong (Hardcover)
A page by page beauty. The prose glows and the wondrous thing about reading John O'Donohue is that he gives you the gift of being yourself. The words are keys, one after another, to such deep and warm places in the heart. A fine, fine book.

Fantastic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eternal Echoes: Exploring Our Yearning to Belong (Hardcover)
I read this book late into the night. John O'Donohue is a wonderful writer with a gift for bringing words of wisdom to all of us. I was struck by his light, his poetic nature and was even inspired to begin writing myself. I would love to know if he is planning a book tour (or book signing) and if so, when and where...
