Rating:  Summary: Insightful, highly spiritual, peaceful. A great read. Review: John O' Donohue writes this very spiritual book with a simplicity that is hard to match. It touched deep into my soul on subjects such as friendship and relationships, prayer and the planet that we think is so modern and civilized. In my perspective, the ideas he wrote in the book were already known to me and did not have a sense of wonder anymore; little did I know that I had not considered other aspects and perspectives. The book is elegantly written. It touches many feelings and provides a sense of realism to a world that seems to be consumed by functionality. It is an excellent book to read and understand the Celtic beliefs and traditions and the reason why we are the way we are today.
Rating:  Summary: resonates Review: John O'Donohue gently counsels us while he walks the circles of time, gesturing to us to yeild to the compassionate mystery that is Life. His voice finds its echoe in the words of many poets. By quoting the elegant words of many cultures, he convenes a legion of comfortable friends to accompany the reader on his or her contemplative path.

Rating:  Summary: A Truly Marvelous and Inspiring Book Review: John O'Donohue is a true poet. This book is beautifully written and brings to us a message of peace, of joy, and of hope.
Rating:  Summary: A graceful look at our human soul Review: John O'Donohue looks deep into the human soul and explains our yearning to belong. He explores our physical being ("the threshold of belonging"), the presence of longing ("the flame of longing"), the negative aspects of imprisonment ("prisons we choose to live in") and suffering ("broken belonging"), the way we can come to a fuller life through prayer ("a bridge between longing and belonging"), and sums it up by explaining our absence from God ("where longing still lingers"). The eternal indeed echoes from these pages with an ageless wisdom.
