Product Description

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.

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.

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 7 Jun 1999

Format: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...
