Personal Christian testimony & inspirational works; Psychology; Mind, Body, Spirit; Mind, Body, Spirit: thought & practice

An inspiring and comforting new work from the author of the international bestseller, Anam Cara.

The perfect gift for anyone in your life, or a wonderful source of comfort for yourself - this is a wonderfully heartfelt collection of thoughts and blessings that will heal, inspire, comfort and move.

When you need a poem or a blessing to find strength, whatever the occasion, this is a rich source. It will be turned to time and time again.

In sharing words of profound grace and wisdom, master storyteller John O'Donohue offers blessings to shelter us as we confront the many challenges we face on our journey through life.

We are living in an anxious world - a world so often dominated by unwelcome change, unhappiness, uncertainty and even despair.

Now, more than ever, we need this collection of blessings and thoughts, covering areas such as Beginnings, Desires, States of the Heart, Callings and Beyond Endings. It is a vision of hope and belonging for this sometimes troubled world.

There are blessings in this book - for birthdays, anniversaries, deaths and many more. Some are long, some are short, but all touch the heart.

Reader review: 'What a perfect companion to the challenges that come from being human.'

Reader review: 'A beautiful book that I keep sharing with others.'

Reader review: 'A book you will pick up time and time again for inspiration, for comfort and to be uplifted.'

Reader review: 'We have fallen out of belonging. Consequently, when we stand before crucial thresholds in our lives, we have no rituals to protect, encourage and guide us as we cross over into the unknown. For such crossings, we need to find new words. What is nearest to the heart is often farthest from the word. This book is an attempt to reach into that tenuous territory of change that we must cross...'
