The Invisible World John O'Donohue

The ancient Celts sensed an "invisible world" around them – the great unknown from which they came and the source of eternal wonder in their lives. Through prayer, O’Donohue teaches, we may enter directly into this secret immensity and escape the psychological prisons we create for ourselves. With prayers, blessings, poetry, and teachings.

Book Description

A Roman Catholic priest and Hegelian philosopher, O'Donohue guides listeners from the "bare and cold world, where we are hungering in a famine of our own making" to the comforting embrace of "invisible companions" who inspire, heal, shelter, and challenge us. With this work, listeners learn that the old ways of worship in Ireland are not dead.

This review is from: The Invisible World (Wisdom from the Celtic World) (Audio Cassette)

This audio book by John O'Donohue takes us on an inspirational, and for me an unforgetable journey, into the heart of who we are. O'Donohue's poetic style comes to life in this seminar and his voice reflects his passion and commitment to sharing Celtic wisdom with us all. O'Donohue has the ability to speak about our deep spiritual yearnings, using very simple language and some beautiful anecdotal examples, that we all can relate too. What I liked most about this book was the authors experience and examples of Prayer. His relating of Prayer and its effect on the Invisible World, and on the people we pray for, made this writer yearn to pray. Another aspect of this book that gives great hope is O'Donohue's explanation of the prisons in which we put ourselves, and how we might free ourselves and renew our lives. While much of what is said is also in Eternal Echoes, another though provoking book from John O'Donahue. The beauty of 'The Invisible World' is the oral delivery ~ 'Eternal Echoes', on the other hand, can be difficult for non-academic readers to plough through (although I found it a great read). If you are looking for further motivation along your spiritual path, you will not be disappointed with this audio book.Your journey toward your divine destiny will be enhanced a hundred fold.
