ANAM CARA: SPIRITUAL WISDOM FROM THE CELTIC WORLD John O'Donohue
Everyone we know who's read this book has said how wonderful it made them feel. It takes us to the heart of the age-old Celtic spiritual tradition - which still echoes in the blood of so many of us - and helps us to enter consciously the world of the Anam Cara, the 'soul friend'. For the essence of ancient Celtic spirituality, says John O'Donohue, was the ability to perceive, revere and befriend the soul in all things - in others, in the self, in nature, in solitude, in life and in death. In this friendly, reverent awareness lies a tremendous, transfiguring power, - the power to bring the inner world of the soul to life, for yourself and for those around you, and to walk and live within it. 283pp, 127mm x 197mm, softback, 1999
