"The poet John O'Donohue has written a book of blessings, they are (as he says) NOT poems but blessings & they are some of the most amazing ones I have ever read. I recommend this book to anyone with a soul. I got this book from the library & I will be buying one to own very soon. It is worth having & using forever."
"I met John O'Donohue on a recent weekly "Speaking of Faith" email - such a lovely Irish guy (no longer living). Why I love this book: the text is in blue, titles in gold. And who doesn't need a book of blessings for all occasions - blessings 'For Light', 'For the Artist at the Start of the Day','For a New Home', 'For a Prisoner', 'For Solitude', 'For Loneliness', 'For Wildness'. Medicine for my heart this week....."
"O'Donohue finds tender and effective ways to bless people in many quite different and sometimes painful situations. There's a lovely blessing for the parents of a young person who is headed for prison, for example; in doing so, of course, he has blessed us all."
"Simply gorgeous. His writing, profound understanding, and articulation of the human experience literally took my breath away, page after page. I can't recommend this highly enough for anyone hoping to be more fully present to their lives, to find beauty and meaning in both ordinary moments and life transitions alike. The kind of book I hold to my chest when I close it, saying thank you."
