Have you read Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch?

Question

Just wanna know if you've read it and what you think about it

Answer 1

Yes, I read it and I loved it! I have read every single book by Neale Donald Walsch.

A friend gave me the first in the series last fall and it changed my entire perspective on spirituality and gave me something that I could believe in. The content spoke to me and rang true in my heart the way the religious doctrine and dogma and man-made church rules never did.

At first, some of the concepts seemed so foreign to me, that I wanted to believe them, but had a hard time. Until I started to open my mind and expand my library and read more authors with similar messages. It boggles me that I had never really heard these types of messages about loving and accepting before, even though they've been around for years. But there is a saying that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

Reading this book sent me on a spiritual journey which I hope to be on for the rest of my life. I have been reading other "new age" type of books and also love anything by Wayne Dyer and Jerry and Esther Hicks.

I have started studying other religions as well, including Hinduism as well as the Bible. But not just the current popular English translations of the Bible, but one by George M. Lamsa that claims to be a direct translation of the original language of Aramaic that was spoken during Jesus life and in that time in history. Hopefully a more accurate translation.

I highly recommend reading Conversations with God!!!

P.S. Yes I agree with Lance below me about the CwG Foundations and it become like a semi-organized religion. That and Humanity's Team in which they seem to want your money. I'm not sure about the agenda behind all of that, and I'm sure that it's good, but it doesn't personally interest or attract me, but I still love the messages in the books of an all-loving God who even has a sense of humour and is not the easily slighted, angry, jealous God that fundamentalist Christianity want us to believe in.

Answer 2

I've read 5 of them, I think. Books 1, 2, 3, Friendship With God, and Communion With God.

I think that they are very insightful, instructive, and reassuring books. Whether it's indeed Divine inspiration that Neale is expressing or not, doesn't matter to me. There is a lot to learn and think about in the series of books. I also find the books very amusing in style, and easy to read. God is quite a character, isn't he?

But, I think that turning this thing into an organized movement, as has been done with the CwG Foundation, raises doubt, for me, about whether or not there is more to the agenda. I'm not saying that there is, but the idea of "spreading the good news" in an organized fashion has been an effective way build constiuencies first, and spread the word second. Just like the other organized religions.

But, with that said, I am happy that I have read them, they have influenced my thinking and spiritual growth, and I have given them many times as gifts for those that I care about.

Answer 3

I somewhat have examine them and am at present rereading all of them after seeing the DVD action picture some months in the past. Like Pangel, i got here across them to be very exciting. I desire extra human beings believed interior the God predicted in those books. and that i'm an atheist. additionally try the non violent Warrior sequence (and DVD) with the aid of Dan Millman.

Answer 4

I love them! I read parts of CWG book 1,2,3, friendship with God, the new revelations. They changed my life and the entire perspective of it.
