"Neale Donald Walsch"Neale Donald Walsch: This book is thought provoking, entertaining and simply too good to miss. It will change many of your beliefs and provide answers to questions that may not have even occurred to you. This book will set the ball rolling and will help you discover important things about yourself. It's a very fun journey. You might also enjoy my review of review of Book Two from this series, as well as my review of Book Three.
I'm not sure if Neale Donald Walsch actually had a conversation with God, but who cares? It certainly felt like Walsch might have, and I appreciated how he made God seem so real and loving to me. Neale Donald Walsch also got me thinking about lots of things, including love, the nature of man (and woman), money, and even sex. You don't have to be any particular religion to enjoy this book. In fact, I think that even if you didn't believe in God, you'd get something out of reading Neale Donald Walsch's work - if just only to read that you don't have to be fearful of God. Of course I enjoyed the humor throughout. For example: (When asked how does God talk, and to whom?) "I talk to everyone. All the time. The question is not to whom do I talk, but who listens?" Neale Donald Walsch included several other memorable passages; among them: "The Highest Thought is always that thought which contains joy. The Clearest Words are those words which contain truth. The Grandest Feeling is that felling which you can call love." ...and... "For the first thing you worry about after saying "I love you" is whether you'll hear it back. And if you hear it back, then you begin immediately to worry that the love you have just found, you will lose. And so all action becomes a reaction-defense against loss-even as you seek to defend yourself against the loss of God."
Neale Donald Walsch tells us that there is only one purpose for all of life, and that is for you and all that lives to experience fullest glory. Regardless of your beliefs, who would argue with that? I recommend this book very highly as a humorous, thought-provoking addition to your library.
