The Books
In 1992, Neale Donald Walsch was nearing 50 and feeling less than happy with his life--his four marriages had failed, his relationships with his kids were spotty, his health was poor, and he'd just lost his job. In frustration, he dashed off an angry letter to God. As Walsch describes in the three best-selling volumes of "Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue," God answered back in a personable, colloquial voice. Their conversation has been continuing since for years, as Walsch petitioned God with questions both basic (why do people suffer?) and personal (why couldn't he get ahead financially?). In 1995, Walsch published the first installment of his Q & A session with God, because he felt the material had something to offer, whether readers believed the conversations took place, or not. There are now three books in the Conversations with God trilogy, simply named Book 1, Book 2 and Book 3. In fall of 1999, a fourth book came out: "Friendship with God", and in fall of 2000, the so far most recent one: "Communion with God".
Neale Donald Walsch has presented a concept of God we can understand and accept. A God who answers clearly all the questions we have wanted to ask, about all the subjects that are fundamental to us. Life and death, love and hate, good and evil, heaven and hell, and the meaning of the soul. A God who makes sense, and gives us hope. A God we can fall in love with.
