Conversations With God

Neal Donald Walsch

"Well, I first found out about Conversations with God from a really good friend of mine who I just happened to meet in San Francisco, and we started to talk about spirituality and how spirituality really is different from religion; and he recommended that I read Conversations with God.

It's about questions that the author is asking to God Himself and the answer from God that the author is getting. At first, the story was kind of difficult to get into because it was quite different from what I had learned all throughout my life, basically growing up in a Catholic home, attending Catholic church, going to CCD classes every weekend from the time I can remember. And so getting out of that mindset was definitely difficult at first to kind of get into the story; and in order to read the book and get a lot out of it, you definitely have to have an open mind.

It sounds really, probably weird, and it might sound a little bit maybe out of context, but when I first started reading the book, this feeling came over me like God was almost with me while I was reading the book; and my friend who recommended the book to me said he had that same feeling, and that's kind of really how you're supposed to feel to know that you're getting into the book itself. And one of the things I guess that related most to me was that I do base a lot of my decisions and a lot of the ways I live my life based on fear and kind of as reactive rather than proactive and trying to base my judgments and decisions on love, and that's kind of one of the things I got out of the book.

I would give this book a rating of five stars because it has completely changed my life, and I still go back and read it at times when I'm finding myself struggling through a situation or just when I need some spiritual enlightenment."
