Neale Donald Walsch - Conversations With God: An Uncommon Dialogue

Pros: It grabs your attention; A real page- turner
Cons: Covers only a few broad- based questions; Difficult to believe

Greetings, Epinions Members! This book review is part 5 in a 5 part, solo write- off series titled “The American Religious Experience”. Each of the 5 books I’m about to review over the next several days deals with the topic of religion in ...

Pros: thought-provoking, gives God a new look
Cons: makes God a guru

Okay, I've been reading the reviews of this psychotherapeutic book and have to wonder if any of the writers have read any other spiritual books besides the Bible and/or Walsch's book. I'm not saying it isn't an interesting read. I think it's great that...

Pros: The title and proposed content of the book touches on an interesting concept.
Cons: "God" is inconsistent, forgets what He said previously in the book, and contradicts Himself repeatedly.

The problem with most of us these days is that we want our ears tickled. Which is not to say that Neale Donald Walsch is not a well-meaning man – he may very well be. And, as it so happens, his divine experience will undoubtedly improve the ...

Pros: Creates a new paradigm in how we view relationships
Cons: The format (i.e. a conversation with God) may initially turn off some readers

It is admittedly odd for me, a non-religious person, to claim "Conversations with God" as my favorite book. Nonetheless, this book has changed my life. In fact, to refer to this as simply a book is to downplay its importance: it is a way of...

Pros: A look at today's issues answered in an honest, judge free manor.
Cons: Not for the closed minded.

What would happen if one day, frustrated with life, you sat down and wrote to God? In this letter you just started asking him random questions... whatever was troubling you, whatever came to mind.

What would happen if He answered you?
...

Pros: Stimulates spiritual journey
Cons: Could raise inner conflict

This book rekindled my spiritual journey. Certainly controversial and to many blasphemous, this book is for those whose philosophies and spirituality cannot be contained in any "one" church doctrine, religion, or "Way".

...

Pros: The insanity is at least persistent. A tolerant, if crazy, message.
Cons: More hokum and hype, just like the first book

In my review of the first book in this series, I was probably a little too harsh. I slammed the author for claiming that his writings were in fact the word of God Himself. I was concerned that the author never seriously bothered to try to convince the...

Pros: Written well enough to appeal to the feel-good-at-all-costs-crowd
Cons: Arrogant presumption for human to talk directly with creator of the universe

Have you had a chat with God lately?

Conversations with God is a wierd hum-dinger of a feel-good book that's based upon the presumption that the author is able to communicate directly with the creator of the entire universe. This...

Pros: Good subject material. Author uses everyday language; you don't have to be a theologian to understand this dialogue.
Cons: Some concepts can be confusing.

In this book, Neale Donald Walsch records a years long conversation with God. He does not ask that you "believe" every word in the dialogue. He does not assert that you must accept every concept as the "truth". Instead, the author...

Pros: Absolutely a great read!
Cons: Raises some questions about those damned humans!!!

This book took me by complete surprise. I found it to be logical and it comprehensively handled many questions about God and myself, that we often ponder in attempting to understand the nature of God. In some of the responses by God, I saw ...

Pros: Comforting, Personally written which allows you to feel a part of the "Conversation"
Cons: Parts sometimes difficult to understand at first read

I first came upon this book after reading a recommendation from a celebrity. I know, I know not a very authoritative opinion, but I'm glad I purchased this book. After reading the intro of the book, I was very apprehensive. However, after reading this...

Pros: Alternative Way of looking at life and God
Cons: Caution: Religious institutions disagree with some of its teachings

Conversations With God (CWG): An Uncommon Dialogue, Book 1 is a spiritually powerful book for the open-minded. This day an age we are filled with people who are searching for an alternative from the mainstream religions’ way of looking at the world and...

Pros: Logical, sensible view of God presented
Cons: A little repetitious, and some might find it too informal

Neale Donald Walsch claims that the "conversation" with God that he communicates in this series of books was channeled information. Maybe it was; maybe it wasn't. Frankly, I don't care how the information came to Walsch.

The God...

Pros: The concept that God would actually dictate a book to someone keeps you reading.
Cons: This book would make the Bible a lie.

This book was given to me by my brother. As he put it, "since I had so many unanswered questions and until I was "ready" to study the Bible, this book might help." The Author attempts to ask the questions "we" would all ask...

Pros: his conversation with God was a surprise.
Cons: Sometimes difficult to believe it all.

I interviewed Neale Donald Walsch this past year and I am impressed with his thoughts, or should I say, with "God's thoughts"...I liked Neale. He is warm and personable, admits to his foibles and is loving toward his wife. His books are quite...
