> Anam Cara -- A book of Celtic Wisdom -- John O'Donohue
Some quotes from amazon.com:
A reader from Fort Worth, Texas , October 30, 1998
An excellent tool for the path of spiritual growth
This book is excellent for those who have reached the point in life where they begin to question their existence. It is also useful if one is going through a significant trauma or transition in life. Nurture of the soul is paramount, and yet is probably one of the most neglected aspects of society today. O'Donohue provides a comprehensive collection of soul wisdom which all can greatly benefit from. --This text refers to the hardcover edition of this titleclaudpaul@aol.com from Valley Stream, New York , July 31, 1998
VERY VERY POWERFUL AND FULL OF ILLUMINATION!
Reading this wonderful spiritual book has embedded into my soul all the valuable insights and gifts that these powerful words envelope. I will treasure this book. There are many lessons to be learned about soul and one needs to read over and over again these valuable lessons to digest the depth of this profound celtic wisdom.I shall use this book as I glide into much celebrated old age and intergrate it's beautiful spiritual power into present moments. Anam Cara states....'Once the soul awakens, the search begins and you can never go back.....the eternal makes your urgent..' --This text refers to the hardcover edition of this title

Each sentence is a ponderable morsel.
Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom is truly a work of art. Over the past three years, I have been working on discovering myself through self-help books, 12-step programs, religious study, and personal introspection. This book summed up everything I have learned (the hard way) during this time, and presented it in a beautiful package that was invigorating and thought-provoking to read. It was a pure joy. I began reading it in January, and have only just finished it last night, because each sentance was a ponderable morsel. Sometimes I would read a phrase five times over in order to fully grasp and apply it's meaning to my life. This is not a 70 mph trip through the McDonald's drive-thru, this is a seven course meal in Vienna, and every bite demands that you hold it in your mouth to savor it.Anam Cara is one of the best non-fiction books I have ever read. I plan to read it again in a year or so, because I know I will get new things out of it. I am already loaning it to a friend, and have a couple of others in mind I'd like to loan it to. I can't keep this from the ones I love. --This text refers to the hardcover edition of this title

Worth reading again and again
A very insightful work. I had debated the purchase of this book because of its hardcover price, but didn't regret the decision once I started reading. The use of Celtic materials to illustrate points adds much to the book. Mr. O'Donohue is a gentle adventurer of the soul. --This text refers to the hardcover edition of this titledunn1@jeflin.tju.edu from Philadelphia, Pa, USA , January 5, 1998
One of the most inspiring books I have ever read
This insightful book by John O'Donohue is a moving and irrevocably inspiring view on living, dying, loving and becoming closer to your own soul with the companionship of your Anam Cara, or soul-friend. It speaks of the incredible beauty of the Celtic tradition and views on such ethereal subjects as religion, our own divinity, and the power of transforming your life. It is truly a book to learn from. -For more go to amazon.com or purchase the book or get it or the audio tape from the library...
