Publisher's summary

Suppose you could ask God the most puzzling questions about existence, and God would provide clear, understandable answers? It happened to Neale Donald Walsch.

Conversations with God is Neale Donald Walsch's account of his direct conversations with God, beginning in 1992 while Walsch was immersed in a period of deep depression. He composed a letter to God in which he vented his frustrations, and much to his surprise, even shock, God answered him.

Focusing on the universal truths that influence all life, Conversations with God offers a picture of the could be better. Conversations with God challenges us to push past the imagined boundaries of what we believe ourselves capable and look instead to all that we can attain as co-creators with God.

©1996 Neale Donald Walsch (P)2006, 2015 Audio Literature, Phoenix Books

Critic reviews

"Conversations with God contains a wisdom I believe we all have inside us but don't stop to listen to. Neale Walsch stopped, listened, and transcribed that word." (Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of Love, Medicine, and Miracles)

The bible is not the authoritative word from God??

What would have made Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Book 1 better?

Nothing that truly comes from God would say that the bible is not the authoritative word from God!

Has Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Book 1 turned you off from other books in this genre?

It has reminded me that I need look no further than the bible for every answer I will ever need. It's all in there and it is from God.

How could the performance have been better?

It could have spoken the truth

What character would you cut from Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Book 1?

God is not a character. I would cut the whole book.

Any additional comments?

Praise and glory to God always!!!

A must read/listen!!!

It's refreshing to find a book that has such a great perspective that appeals to someone like me who isn't religious or christian.

The whole thing is stupid

Any additional comments?

There are so many Biblical errors, its either craziness from this man's head or satanic. It's just crap.

Not worth the purchase

I don't believe that it follows what the Bible says. The Bible is the true word of God and this gentleman seems to have miss the point. I believe that he could easily lead people astray with his ideas.

Hitler went to Heaven?

I am stopping the book in chapter 2 because there is NO WAY a living GOD would welcome such an evil person as HITLER into HEAVEN! This book claims GOD doesn't dislike evil or wrong acts! WTF?! The GOD I was taught about would not open the pearly gates to welcome such evil as HITLER or even Charles Manson into HEAVEN! This is not worth continuing! A waste of time!

wish there was a 0 star button for this one

Listened up to the point that he told me that Hitler was in heaven. His points were so far out there up to that point that I struggled to hang in. These ideas are false, he is out to make money and deceive you.

A Religious Potpourri

What would have made Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Book 1 better?

If you are a follower of the Bible then stay away. If you like reading different philosophies then have a go. The author has basically created a new age libertarian god that has a little something for everyone. There is no right or wrong. Moses and Hitler are both in heaven, just on different paths trying to create their best self in the course of many lives. Jesus was a master, Buddha was a master and on it goes.

What three words best describe the narrators’s voice?

Ed Asner and Ellen Burston do a good job as God. The performance is fine.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Book 1?

He should have had his god come through to him in something else besides automatic writing. If C S Lewis had read this he would probably say Screwtape was writing back to him.

Any additional comments?

It would be easy if relative moralism were actually true and their were no absolutes, no right or wrong but lets face it all the major religions have some form of the 10 commandments and isn't that a good thing? For most if not all of us our gut tells us when we violate these basic tenets we did something wrong and we have to live with it or seek forgiveness from those we have wronged. For this author these have been reduced by his god to the 10 commitments and we should reflect on them, and decide in this life or the next whether we could move to a better version of our best self if we accepted a commitment as part of life.

Profound Truth

I guess most of it seemed like common sense to me, but I guess 'religious' people would beg to differ! Loved it! And Ed Asner as God was amazing!

Fine idea with wonderful content and yet...

It wants to stand at arm's length from traditional religion, which I appreciate but at times it does get a bit snooty.

Amazing perspective changing book

I would recommend this book to every single person in the world, regardless of your religious beliefs. It provides a logical perspective of what we think of as "god".
