Irish poet, philosopher and Catholic priest John O'Donohue
has taken on a mighty task: reconciling Christian beliefs with
the Celtic way of life and making the spiritual knowledge of
the Celts accessible and meaningful to a modern audience more
at home with faxes, computers and deadlines than spiritual
peace. He succeeds admirably. Anam Cara means "soul-friend"
in Gaelic and is an apt title for a book that takes the reader
on a spiritual journey through a series of essays on such subjects
as the mystery of friendship, love, aging, death and the modern
world.
Using the ancient spiritual tradition of the Celts and their
vision of the world -- the indivisibility of the visible and the invisible,
time and eternity and the human soul from the Divine --
O' Donohue creates a powerful work which is as inspiring as it is
uplifting. An insightful, moving and unique work.
