Read out of curiosity...and it's tragically funny. Reminds me of a line said by Matthew Broderick's character Phillipe Gaston in the 1985 film "Ladyhawke": "Sir, the truth is, I talk to God all the time, and, no offense, but He never mentioned you."
Anyway, accounting for the rating: three stars for making me laugh plus three stars for an imaginative tale. Subtract four stars for trying to pawn off things like these as words of his God:
"Your job on Earth, therefore, is not to learn."
[Strike show more one...you're out. No discussion.]
"Yet there are no victims in the world, and no villains."
[Um, okay]
"In the largest sense, all the 'bad' things that happen are of your choosing. The mistake is not in choosing them, but in calling them bad. For in calling them bad, you call your Self bad,
since you created them."
[Riiigghhhtt]
"I have never set down a “right” or “wrong,” a “do” or a “don’t.” To do so would be to strip you completely of your greatest gift—the opportunity to do as you please, and experience the results of that;"
[Really? Did we read the same bible, Mr. Walsch?]
"...because My promises are too good to be true."
[No comment.]
"There is no coincidence in the universe —only a grand design; an incredible 'snowflake.'"
[Cute philosophical BS.]
"I am not pleased by suffering, and whoever says I am does not know Me.
... I have put an end to it. You simply refuse to use the tools I have given you with which to realize that. You see, suffering has nothing to do with events, but with one’s reaction to them."
[ Apparently, whoever wrote Your book did not know You either.]
And so on... Oh, also subtract two stars because Walsch wrote two more books on the same subject that I can't muster the will to read. Add one because zero stars implies no opinion and I certainly have an opinion on his fiction. show less

Of all the books I've read in my lifetime, this one is perhaps the most difficult for me to review. For starters, I'd need a special tag to describe it as "once influential, now unreadable."
I was 19 years old and curious about my spiritual place in the world. I had recently left home for the first time and had a number of eye-opening experiences that shook up everything I thought I knew. So it was during this period of existential uncertainty that I discovered Neale Donald Walsch's show more Conversations With God. And just like that, my entire worldview changed overnight—torn down and ready for rebuilding.
Reading Walsch's book was such a pinnacle moment in my life that everything around me took on this aura of affirmation. Here was a way of understanding the world that I'd never previously considered, and the insights I gained propelled my life in new directions, both delightful and frightening. Up until then I was like a corked bottle, brimming with possibility and unknown expectations, and then Conversations With God changed everything.
The irony is that several years later I outgrew the book. When I read Walsch's words now I don't derive anywhere near the same joy I once did, and just as frequently I disagree with him. That seems a disheartening thing to say about one of the most important books of my life. show less

Even before I had finished the previous two books in this series, I had already read the part in this book about highly evolved beings (HEBs) and life on other planets, because it answered a question I had repeatedly asked myself ever since I was a child i.e. was there life on other planets? I had always thought that there must be - the universe is just too huge for us to be the only ones 'out here' - and when this book confirmed that, how could I not read on? Many of these other inhabited show more planets have highly evolved civilisations and I found the descriptions of these societies absolutely mesmerising! HEBs communicate absolutely truthfully and telepathically (in fact, you can tell how evolved a society is by its dependance or otherwise on words for communication); there is no concept of ownership or loss; they share everything they have; and their children set their own curriculum at school. A key part of these societies is observing fully and acknowledging the truth of their observations, something we don't do. We see what is happening, but then we choose to ignore or deny it, because profits would suffer etc. Although I was fascinated by what I was reading, I was also somewhat discouraged to see just how far we are from realising this kind of society on Earth (compared to the HEBs, I felt like we were ants crawling around on the ground, whilst they soared like eagles above us). But by the end, the overriding emotion was one of inspiration, because I had been shown the possibility of a different, far more fulfilling existence, where everyone's experience of life can be a fair and joyful one.
The book also discusses/revisits topics such as death, psychic power, reincarnation, the nature and location of the soul, marriage, and the lack of chance or accident in everyday life (i.e. nothing happens by chance, it is all intentional, even if we can't see what the intention is).
You can read this book in isolation, but I would recommend you read Book 1 and Book 2 first, because you will get more out of it if you do. All three books are remarkable and I applaud Neale Donald Walsch for bravely challenging accepted theological doctrine and, thereby, releasing people from the fear of 'sin' and from being judged by a vengeful God. It's an uplifting and liberating message! show less

The conversation that was started in Book 1 between Neale Donald Walsch (an ordinary man with a lot of common problems) and God carries on here and continues to fascinate. There are intriguing discussions about organised religions, the nature of time, Einstein's theory of relativity (but a non-scientist like me can follow what's being said!), sex, education, government and politics, the economy and war. Two things are emphasised - we should cease to think of ourselves as separate beings show more (because in truth we're all one) and we should adopt the concept of visibility in everything i.e. show clearly to others what we're doing and why, including our financial matters – nothing should be hidden. If we adopted these two principles, then the world would be transformed.
Anyone who thinks we live in a 'civilised' society, should think again after reading this book. In order to be civilised we need to have a society where we can solve conflict without violence, live without fear, act without self-interest and love unconditionally, and we are still far, far from being able to do this after thousands and thousands of years. In addition, we have an education system that teaches facts rather than wisdom and doesn't encourage young people to think for themselves. Having been a teacher for many years, I found this chapter particularly thought-provoking. I duly resolved to try and find more ways to encourage my pupils to think for themselves, but became increasingly frustrated with the lack of time to do this (because of syllabus demands), and really it was the start of me reassessing what I was doing in life and has ultimately led to some life-changing decisions. Perhaps, after reading this book (and the others in the series as well), it will be for you too. If nothing else it will expand your horizons and show you a fascinatingly different way of looking at things. Highly recommended! show less
