Where many find it difficult to believe in this book I find it more difficult not to believe in. From studying philosophy A-level - great minds and masters such as Plato, Augustine, Irenaeus and Descartes already had exactly the right idea about life as we know it and as we don't know it. Where many, humanly, see it as completely controversial and totally blasphemous, the truth of this philosophy absolutely cemented my beliefs in the Highest thought of Love - the ultimate and absolute of all tha Where many find it difficult to believe in this book I find it more difficult not to believe in.
Where many, humanly, see it as completely controversial and totally blasphemous, the truth of this philosophy absolutely cemented my beliefs in the Highest thought of Love - the ultimate and absolute of all that we are; freedom- the Divine Creator that which we are has provided us with the beauty of choice; and experience - the ability to distinguish between 'good' and 'bad' and to decide who we are and who we want to be in the world of relative. Neale Donald Walsch is a great representation for the ordinary human being who feels as though he's done everything right in his life but can't understand why it's all falling apart - a horrible reality that most of us have subconsciously shaped and created for ourselves.
WHY ME, why is this happening?! God is a pretty cool character - unexpected and this is where some find the blasphemy. I personally love it. This I believe is the way God is supposed to be. He is the all-loving and we are his children. I can't myself express his awesomeness - you must read it for yourself. Plato was concerned with concepts of the Forms - higher versions of ourselves or God our souls seek to be.
Even in the most Ancient times of Greece the Stoics believed God to be present in everything and everyone. Conversations with God expresses how the Bible and Christian teaching was severely manipulated and warped to change societies views and to establish higher and lower beings. This book reminds us that we are all of equal being and we are all deserving of experiencing the highest concept of love. It is only in recent periods - s where fundamentalist Christians stopped interpreting and analysing and took up a literal view of its teachings.
This book is what it is. It doesn't force you into anything; it doesn't promote a new religion or following. It is not the right way. It is not the wrong way. It simply is. Only by fear are people offended - but to me the logic is sound and pure and the truth really is a beautiful thing. Favourite quote: "Yet your teachers have told you of an angry God, a jealous God, a God who needs to be needed. And that is not a God at all but a neurotic substitute for that which would be a diety.
May 04, Clair rated it it was amazing Shelves: faves , i-own. Another book that my dad gave me. I am personally not supportive of organized religion in any way. That last statement will likely upset a lot of people, including ones that I love respect. I believe that Neale Donald Walsh's "Conversations with God" books can likely offend in the same sense, which is probably why I agree with so much of what is written about in these books.
I have a Another book that my dad gave me. I have always considered myself to be a very spiritual person, but have struggled with the fact that I cannot bring myself to be a part of any religious organization. I have always felt trapped and closed off when I've gone to church. These books made me so much more comfortable with who I feel that I am and really made me think about why I believe what I believe.

Whether or not you believe that this book is divinely inspired, it still presents an interesting viewpoint: that the world is what we make it, that we are responsible for everything from the success of our love life to the ravages of world hunger, on both a personal level and through mass consciousness. This book's greatest recommendation is that we each must take responsibility for our lives, and that by changing our basic judgments and perceptions, we can become our own God.

You are about to have a conversation with God. Truly, this book is less a conversation than a tiresome monologue by Neale Donald Walsch , who in the process of instructing the reader to liberate himself by recognizing his own Self as God, paints an image of a God as small as Walsch himself, and filled with Walsch's own parochialisms "You are about to have an extraordinary experience.
Truly, this book is less a conversation than a tiresome monologue by Neale Donald Walsch , who in the process of instructing the reader to liberate himself by recognizing his own Self as God, paints an image of a God as small as Walsch himself, and filled with Walsch's own parochialisms and scars. Walsch's God is intolerant of any consumption of wine, but tolerant of mass murder as being merely "different". He also shares Walsch's love of bad prose.

This book is heavy enough to inspire me day after day, with only a half page or several pages. Neal's God is playful but gentle. He is fresh, but reverent. She is startling, but reassuring. It is liberating, but unyielding. They are modern, but timeless. I Am plain, but obscure. Neal's God is not like a politician who answers the question you didn't ask, but instead like a grandparent who tells you you the scary answer, then backs it up with the comforting Conversations With God.
Neal's God is not like a politician who answers the question you didn't ask, but instead like a grandparent who tells you you the scary answer, then backs it up with the comforting answer, showing you in the process that answers are not all that they seem, and maybe you knew inside all along. Since there is really only one Message, perhaps a reasonable question might be, how true is Neal in writing for God?
My honest answer is this: Neal is true enough to the voice of God within him to be saying things you likely will want to read when the time is right. But when you do, listen to the voice of God within yourself, and let Neal be nothing more than your fellow messenger.
Believe it all and believe it none. Jun 26, Melanie Porter rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: Anyone with an open mind who wants to change their lives. This book has changed my life and has made me see things in a whole new light.
Because of this book, I have changed my thought process and it has made all the difference in the world. I grew up with deep religious roots, but I have discovered that I enjoy having an open mind and discovering what others believe and just because it differs from the teachings I was raised with, doesn't mean it's not enlightening.
I take the words This book has changed my life and has made me see things in a whole new light. I take the words in this book with a grain of salt and an open mind and decide what and what not to believe.
It is my choice and I have a right to it It's not a book for everyone, but I enjoyed it because it spoke to me and the life I have currently decided to experience. Jun 30, Jeffrey rated it liked it Shelves: spiritual. OK, I confess; I didn't finish this book. I didn't even buy it.
Got it for free somehow. Actually, I forgot how I got hold of a copy. Anyway, nice sentiment. I do know this happens, but I'm not sure Walsch recorded his actual conversations.
They seem staged. Nevertheless, I know that people do speak with God in this manor. About ten years ago, I had a friend die in a car accident at the age of 28, and part of the celebration of this woman's life consisted of the mother reading from her journal: OK, I confess; I didn't finish this book.
About ten years ago, I had a friend die in a car accident at the age of 28, and part of the celebration of this woman's life consisted of the mother reading from her journal: actual conversations with God. I could not speak for the depth of power and import these words held in my heart. When God speaks to you it is as spirit to spirit and will overcome the lesser, materialistic and jaded voice of the world.
The day after the memorial, I sat for hours, four to five hours, just writing, writing, writing, feeling the power, majesty, depth, mystery, and eternal secrets therein. The power was unmistakable. I did not feel this power coming from Walsch's conversations. Nevertheless, this is not to pooh-pooh the process, but to advocate authentic conversations that can inform of the mysteries of the eternities, those which I have been privy too on many, many an occasion.

He starts it by "writing an angry letter to God" and says he heard God reply to his questions hence the name. In that regard, I let my guard down and read it with a somewhat open mind.
He has a whole series of This book changed the way I look at everything. He has a whole series of these books now but as far as i'm concerned, it's only book one that is worth buying. It seemed that the others were mostly recycled material or a political agenda inside of a spiritual wrapper.
Since book one became such a hit, it looks like Neale goes to great efforts to fulfill his role as the spiritual guru, tainting the authenticity that made book one so meaningful for me. Regardless of who he is or what he's doing now, it's a great read for anyone who's ever thought about the concept of God or no-God.

This came to me at the right time. Dec 04, Urs rated it it was amazing. Once someone asked while I was reading this series, "How do you know if what this guy is saying is true? Well, I said, I decided to disregard the messenger and pay attention to the message. No disrespect here to Mr Walsch at all but concentrating on the message allowed me to feel it the way it was meant to be felt. And boy did I feel it! Everything rings very true in my soul.
I do believe that w Once someone asked while I was reading this series, "How do you know if what this guy is saying is true? I do believe that we retain residual soul memory from our lives on the Other Side and from our past lives. Before you make a decision whether to discount the messages in these books, ask yourself, "Does it ring true in my soul?
Oct 29, Justin rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: anyone open to a new way of thinking. Reading for the second time These books have changed my life. And they're not what you'd think from the title. They give a swift kick in the ass to a great many accepted religious "norms. These books don't promote any religion, but rather encourage a new belief system.
Oct 01, Athanasius rated it did not like it. Fanciful fluff by a deluded con-man. People comment that his book has provided them with comfort, to which I would reply that like hard liquor, it may make you feel warm and fuzzy, but ultimately it's going to mess you up. What we want to believe must always bow to what actually is.
There is very little truth espoused in this book, and hence by adhering to it's dictates, we are entertaining delusion and falsity. This is an equation which always leads to tears. For the gullible only. Jan 25, Angie rated it liked it Recommends it for: Diane and Therese.
Shelves: non-fiction. What to say here Let me start by saying that I have been blessed with a wondeful , life-long friend. We have a million and one things in common. It was my buddy Lisa that recommended CWG to me This would not have been on my to-read shelf by my own doing and I really expected to throw it gently of course since it was on loan across the room at the fireplace after 10 pages.
We're talking Lisa here and she loves CWG I had no desire to throw it and I hung in there till the end! However , for me the jury is still out. Yeah I know , I gave it three stars , but I had to give it something , didn't I? I will say this much despite my hating Lisa's books While I found parts of it confusing , almost childish at times - repetitive at others , and different than what most of us have been taught all our lives , large parts it made perfectly good sense see the chapter on relationships and tell me what you think.
I am not even going to touch whether it was divinely scripted or not - that is between God and Mr. As I said , the jury is still out for me on this one. Didn't hate it , didn't love it , but I have a 20 minute trip across town now to return it ;- Please pray for me that it doesn't snow!

Shelves: spiritual. Some books touch us some don't. This one speaks for me. I cried, laughed, twitched my eyebrow reading it, hence, I found myself reading another sequel and another and got the whole trilogy. It left me with a feeling of liberation and some things that I thought complicated before became sensibly simple for me.
