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

Pros: None, really. Can be read if you have nothing better to do.
Cons: Deceptive. The writings were not from God, but from the author's automatic writing sessions.
Summary: The title is absolutely deceptive and to those who don't know about the arts of contacting the subconscious, things would appear to be genuine. Well, the book itself is supposed to be "answers" the author got by "writing to God" and somehow writing ... read more

Pros: Is this of God or what we want to hear?
Cons: Is this of God or what we want to hear?
Summary: From what I have read in Book 3 I have found that this is not of GOD. This MAN has made claims that everyone asks especially those who do belong to a Church/congregation. I ask myself these questions all the time but what sets me apart is my "FAITH" in ... read more

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.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: This book is as enjoyable to read as it is profound.
Cons: The book repeats itself somewhat.
Summary: Conversations with God is much more than a book, it is a dialogue about how to live a life that works. Author Neale Donald Walsch opens by sharing the depths of his own sorrow. His life was falling apart, and he could not understand why, as he had always ... read more

Pros: Has been life altering, thought provoking.
Cons: Can be taken too literally.
Summary: On a recommendation by my father I decided to read this book. I began reading the “Conversations with God” trilogy as a closed minded Christian but ended it as an atheist. Half way through the first book I tossed it, convinced that it was a blasph ... read more

Pros: inspirational and makes you feel good.
Cons: difficult for some to understand.
Summary: What a wonderful series of books these are. I read my first, Book 1, while staying in Las Vegas, NV with family. I was impressed at how true and completely believable the content was. The writer does not try to force his own beliefs down your throat like ... read more

Pros: Adresses universal ideas, written in a way any reader can get something out of it
Cons: Controversial- it does not line up with any specific religion
Summary: This is the kind of book that you try to read in one sitting simply because you don't want to put it down. It is written simplistically, with words that practically anyone could comprehend. Still, its merit is not to be discounted because its ... read more

Pros: A non-arrogant way to understanding our relationship with God, as we've never thought before.
Cons: A little rambling at times
Summary: A magnificent read for a quicker understanding of our relationship with God. Admittedly, I was a little skeptical when my friend first offered it to me. At just over 200 pages, with very easy writing to follow, I read it faster than expected.

Pros: The title is intriquing.
Cons: It conflicts with the Bible.
Summary: The title, "Conversations With God", is what prompted me to pick this book up for a read. I was astounded when I begin to read this book about some of the Author's so called God given ideas. Nothing he said matched up with the Bible, which is God's word. ... read more

Pros: An absolute must-have addition to the library of every new-ager!
Cons: None
Summary: I truly enjoyed this book and have read all of Walsch's books in this series. The messages were uplifting and inspired me to open my mind and my heart. The book was a very easy read and the light tone of the "conversation" made it totally enjoyable. I ... read more

Pros: A look at today's issues answered in an honest, judge free manor.
Cons: Not for the closed minded.
Summary: 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: This book has changed my life.
Cons: Talk to others about my new found insight.
Summary: I had heard of CWG a few times before I read it. Someone had let me borrow there tape I listened but still didn't read the hole book. I thought that it was just saying the same thing every other spiritual teacher was saying. And it was but it also ... read more

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

Pros: a wierdly fascinating fantasy
Cons: Insane arrogance!
Summary: What the heck is it with all these religious books coming out recently? The fact is that there is no proof that God exists -- none at all! That doesn't stop quacks like the guy who wrote this book. I picked up a copy at my father's house -- he's a New ... read more

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
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Gives believers in Jesus the opportunity to rightly divide the word of truth.
Cons: Goes against the word of GOD - his Holy Bible
Summary: The title of this book "Conversations with GOD" caught my eye and so I ordered it one day from a book club. As I started reading it, I thought this is interesting, then my interest turned to pain, the author said in a reference to drinking alcohol that ... read more

Pros: Provocative, Bold, and Insightful
Cons: Like the first book, keep an open mind.
Summary: Most spiritualists are thought of as monks and hermits off in the woods away from the "sinful" or "noisy" world. CWG Book 2 suggests just the opposite: to participate in our world more fully, and with awareness of the issues we as a ... read more

Pros: Easy to understand. Refreshingly new (yet not so new) ideas about God.
Cons: Not very orthodox. Intended for more open-minded types.
Summary: Perhaps in no other area than religion is there so much confusion and contradiction. What is a genuinely seeking soul to do? Well, my recommendation as a first step is to read this extremely thought-provoking and sensible book, "Conversations with ... read more

Pros: Improves every area of your life!
Cons: You can never again claim ignorance!
Summary: What a more tuned in world we would be if every human read this book. And not just once. This book warrants reading it over and over again... because you will always get something more out of it.
Do not think you can open this book, read it ... read more
