| The writing is exquisite. It feeds the part of me that responds to poetic language. I take time with this book as a gift to myself when my Spirit is feeling parched. Thank you, John, for sharing your word mastery. | | | | I read it over and over Feb 15, 2008 |
| I love this book! I would love to give it as a gift to every one of my friends. It has a calming effect and gives much detail to what Anam Cara is. | | | | Anam Cara Feb 4, 2008 |
Anam Cara, is a wonderful spiritual book. I would strongly recommend it to any readers who want to go deeper in their spiritual journney. The author uses Theology, philosophy, and poetry to capture the essence of what Celtic spirituality means in a modern context. If you want to be grounded and taken on a wonderful journey this is the book to achieve it in. You do not read this book like a novel, but rather you will keep it by your bed side and re-read it many times. John O' Donohue is one of the finest Irish writers of this generation. I have read three of his book and I intend to read more.
Anam Cara means soul friend, the anam cara was the person you could reveal the hidden intimacies of your life. This friendship was an act of recognition and belonging. When you had an Anam Cara , your friendship cut across convention and category. You were joined in an ancient way with the friend of your soul.

| This is such a gem. O'donohue has the velvet touch and the wisdom of countless ages. If you have any Celtic blood, this must be read. Actually, if you have any blood you should read this. Everybody has a job and the Celts do very well. The writer is at the top of the profession. Must have been hard work. | | | | anam cara Jan 7, 2008 |
| This book was written with wisdom and love. I had to read a little at a time and let the words settle. I bought 10 books to give as Christmas gifts to give to people who mean much to me. | | | Write your own review about Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
