Book Reviews of To Bless the Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings
Book Review: Healing images
Summary: 4 Stars
John O'Donohue has used ordinary language creatively, often turning
negatives into positives: e.g. "laboratory of the soul".
I had previously been turned off by some of his ideas and bought the
book because the price was right at the WRITERS ALMANAC web site.
Turned out to be a great idea.
Book Review: I'll read this again and again.
Summary: 5 Stars
O'Donohue was so gifted. I will keep this book by my bedside. His compassion and flowing, beautiful language touches the reader's heart. I plan to read all he has written and regret that we will not have more to look forward to. Don't be misled by the title -- this is not a religious book as such, but a poetry for every occasion.Book Review: John O'Donohue at his best

I have this item in book and CD formats. What a gift to our spirits! His brilliance and depth of understanding of the heart and spirit are incomparable! For those who are ministers, there's a lot of inspiration for sermons/homilies in this book. There are blessings that can be incorporated into various rites of passage, as well. He brings to light how little we bless each other and the positive difference it would make if we would. He is the soul friend of everyone who's read his works. I highly recommend this book. I'll be buying several more copies of this book as well as Anam Cara (also by John O'Donohue).Book Review: Love this Book

I absolutely LOVE this book! My husband & I are planning for a family, when I got this book in the mail I opened randomly to a page somewhere in the middle and magically turned right to the blessing for "The Mother-To-Be"! So amazing! My yoga instructor reads us passages from this book sometimes (how I heard about it) and everytime she does, the peaceful, blessed effect is palpable.Book Review: O'Donohue's blessings for us all
Summary: 5 Stars
When I grew up, every Friday night my mother would put her hands on my head and bless me with a prayer. There was always something special about that experience that has stayed with me. O'Donohue's book of powerful blessings (non-denominational except for a meditation on the eyes of Jesus) covers the breadth of life experience with depth and compassion for self and other. I savor this book and keep it close by to share with others. What a gift from O'Donohue! What a great loss: his death silenced more from such an exquisite voice of the human soul.
