In Celtic Christianity, an anamchara is a soul friend, a companion and mentor (often across the miles and the years) in life's long journey through the spiritual realm. Soul friendship is a commitment to both accept and challenge the other; to cut across all divisions to the truth that is found everywhere, in all of life.

At Anamchara Books we are committed to creating a community of soul friends by publishing books that lead us into deeper relationships with God, the Earth, and each other.

Welcome to the New www.AnamcharaBooks.com

Welcome to the newly redesigned Anamcharabooks.com! New beginnings, even small ones, are always exciting moments that remind us life is full of fresh opportunities. As author Harry Fosdick wrote, "He who chooses the beginning of a road chooses the place it leads"—and here at Anamchara Books we want our new website to lead us toward a place that builds bridges, shares hope, and nurtures growth.
