This book is on my must-read list. I've purchased copies to share with friends and loved ones. The concept is a little hokey as the author purports to speak directly with God and God speaks back and answers many of his questions on life and existence... and God. The surprising twist is how smoothly the messages translate... Some devout (and fearful!) worshippers may find it a bit heretical, but I know quite a few devout Christians of different denominations and also a Jewish man who found it very insightful and unexpectedly peaceful to read. Personally I come from a more spiritual side of things and from that open-minded space this book is completely paradigm shifting... I read so many things that reverberated inside of me because I had always THOUGHT them but never expressed them. It is a three book series and I enjoyed all three and I felt the first one was the best. Read full review

I have already read Conversations With God books 1, 2 & 3. I continue buying book 1 for my friends. It is the most helpful self-help book I have ever read and has given me tools to look at life from a new perspective. It empowers by teaching how to CREATE things/events rather than letting life "happen to you". It reminds us that everything happens for a reason, offering continuous opportunity for growth and for re-creating who you are and who you choose to be. It gives hope, answers to questions about life, people, and events never before answered satisfactorily, opens the door to spirituality, and provides tools to accept yourself for who you are right now and knowledge of how to change what you wish to change. Things like "it is not in the actions of others but in your re-action that your salvation will be found," "live without judgment: pain results from a judgment you have made about a thing; remove the judgment and the pain disappears," "perspective creates thoughts, thoughts create everything; the way to control your thoughts is to change your perspective", and the constant reminder that we all ALL CONNECTED are, for me, life changing statements of truth that I had never before heard. This book is a condensed version of about 20+ years of the author's pursuit of answers to life's questions. It is equivalent to reading MANY books in one. You need not be religious or a believer in God or to believe that the author spoke with God to significantly benefit from this book. I have never read any book that has had more impact on me in my life. It has opened my eyes and has allowed me to be grateful and appreciative of life for the very first time. My relationships with people have improved because I look at people differently and respond to people differently. Everyone to whom I have recommended the book has loved it. I will continue to re-read the book so I will never forget the messages that lay within. If you are looking for answers or tools or know that something in your life is missing, then it may be perfect(Divine?)timing for you to read this book. Read it with an open mind and with no expectations. I cannot imagine anyone not benefitting from the messages within. Good luck!Read full review
I bought this book to give to a friend. This is the fourth book I have purchased to give away. I have all of the books from this author. Reading this book and all of the books Coverstations With God has helped me to think out side the box. For me it is "Hearing from God" and for this I Am grateful. Each time I read it I receive more. As stated on the comment under Conversations with God "an uncommon dialogue" it is. When I first starting reading this book years ago I felt confused for it went against everything I was programmed to believe. I say programmed for I was; I took everyone's word for things. My parents what was said to their parents and what others believe or believed. Programmed by my environment. There comes a time in ones life to start thinking for themselves and for me it was when I caused this book to come to me. It is part of a puzzle and there are others whom write on familar ground. These puzzles come together to form a bigger picture and for this I Am grateful. For it has enabled me to be a better person and to think for myself. Each of us are different however part of the bigger picture. I can not speak for others only myself. I still continue to communicate with God and She/He communicates with me. I have repeated myself several times saying "I Am Grateful" for I am and we all should be.Read full review
Hmmm...what did I like?...Well...nothing, so far. This in my opinion is something a young Christian should be careful about reading. Mr. Walsch pretty much says...if your "feelings" differ from the Bible...go with your feelings. (Pg. 8) Well we as mature Christians know that our "feelings" are the very thing that can be manipulated (as Eve can attest to in the garden of Eden)...and it is the Bible that we need to lean on for our guidances...because left to our own thoughts/actions...history will show we don't handle it well...The living word...he would have us believe we can either take it or leave it...but it is the very thing that God has given us to line everything up against...to be fully armed against the deceiver...I have not read much further...because it is not sitting well with my spirit...I have read tid bits further...and see he doesn't believe in hell as described in the word...sees sin entirely different...that we should embrace our highest self..(Am I actually thinking he means as God's?)...You know it seems like to me...that this is the same line of deception that the serpant was trying to feed Eve...and unfortunately she bit....to the detriment of man kind...If you decide to read this...I would definitely tell you to pray for discernment first...lest you be deceived too. Be Blessed.Read full review
This book distorts the Bible's teachings in a number of areas. Since when does God tell people that sin is okay? Since where does God tell people to celebrate being a homosexual? This book is full of lies and distorts God's word. The author purports to answer various questions asked by kids using the "voice of God". However, the "answers" that he gives are not Bible-based and go against the very infallible word of God. For instance (and I paraphrase), when a girl asks the question "Wh y am I a lesbian?" His answer is that she was 'born that way' because of genetics (just as you were born right-handed, with brown eyes, etc.). Then he tells her to go out and "celebrate" her differences Another girls poses the question "I am living with my boyfriend. My parents say that I should marry him because I am living in sin. Should I marry him?" His reply is, "Who are you sinning against? Not me, because you have done nothing wrong." Another question asks about God's forgiveness of sin. His reply "I do not forgive anyone because there is nothing to forgive. There is no such thing as right or wrong and that is what I have been trying to tell everyone, do not judge people. People have chosen to judge one another and this is wrong, because the rule is "'judge not lest ye be judged." Not only are these books the false doctrine of the devil, but in some instances quote (in error) the Word of God.Read full review
