Conversations With God : An Uncommon Dialogue

This book found me. Roll your eyes. I would! But, it’s still true. I was going through the darkest professional and personal period of my life - feeling the stone hard bedrock of “rock bottom”. A place I would never have imagined my successful life to have ever reached. As a rational scientist, a long time atheist and occasional wonderer in matters-unknown based on experiences, I was a bit surprised when another scientist friend of mine recommended this book when I needed it. He said, “It’s not what you think.”Honestly, I had no thoughts on it. With a title like, “Conversations With God”, I didn’t expect it to be literal. I’ll go a little into “what I think” of it now. But, at the time I needed it, this book … god I hate to say this … “saved me”. During that dark period, I had started taking Xanax just to function. My anxiety and depression had hit levels that I’ve never encountered before. And I am certainly someone that most people would consider as having a lot of grit. So, these feelings were profound. What was more profound were the understandings provided by this book. As I read it, my anxieties, fears and depression disappeared. As I read it! Not over a long period of time.How can this be? There are deep philosophical truths in this series of books that I have not read anywhere else, but certainly felt within me, even before picking up this book. It covers Who You Are, the purpose of life, true Love (not this nonsense we’ve been taught to believe) and the truths about God (again, not this nonsense we’ve been taught to believe).On that last point, now here’s where I’ll provide a bit about “what I think”. It reminds me of the story “Life of Pi”. In telling his story, Pi started it with “It’ll make you believe in God.” By the end of the story, you have a choice to believe in the horrors people do to each other, or to believe in grandness of God. It’s more like you will “want” to believe in God. Similarly, the conversations in this series, the “truths” that are revealed - people can deny and debate them - provide a philosophical and/or spiritual framework you can adopt to live your life to its fullest. By reading this series, you will want to believe in God, because he/she is not the narcissist, insecure, vengeful god of religious myths. If you understand true Love, you will understand this. And you will have permission to believe in God regardless of how skeptical you are, because God doesn’t require anything of you except for you to be whoever you choose to be. You can choose to live your life using this framework, or you can choose a different one. But, this one makes the most sense for people who want to live full, joyful, loving lives. It doesn’t makes sense to choose a harder path.If you’re here considering reading this book, just click buy and read it. You’ve needed it. Here it is.

Life changing book. Answers to all the questions that my soul wanted to remember.Every person on earth should read this book and decide for themselves what is true.

Only gave this 5 stars in hopes that this review would show up in place of the others.The second and third sentence in chapter 1 are enough to tell you that this is heresy. First of all, God has been speaking to us through His Word. Second, Christ Jesus was the final prophet and so there is no need for prophets in these days because God’s Word is final, Jesus was God’s final Word.Another issue of heresy here is found in the middle of the page on page 4 where it says and I quote “God” speaking to the author, “Now the supreme irony here is that you have placed so much importance on the Word of God, and so little on experience” and later says that the importance between these two should be “the other way around” in the next paragraph. That is TOTALLY opposite of what the Lord says in Scripture. This book is from the enemy and so I say to beware and to read the Scripture for that is truly God’s Word to us.

I love this book! I first read it a few years ago, during a very difficult time in my life & it helped me put things into another perspective that did help me to change my life for the better.I feel it really doesnt matter where, how or from whom Neale received this info, as ive received timely wisdom via the oddest of ways at some times in my life, its just really good stuff! Especially the wisdom that applies on a very personal level.Im not a particularly religious person, so it didnt conflict with many of my thoughts on religion, life, death etc. But it certainly opened my eyes on personal relations & ones own journey for meaning in this life, very enlightening! I had to buy this copy & another for a friend, as i keep giving Book One away to people i hope it may also help. My friend is a (lapsed) Catholic & does seem to be struggling with it, i hope to chat with her about it soon, however i guess it may not be for everyone. However for one with an open mind & a genuine desire for another perspective to consider, its perfect. What, if anything you do (or not) with that perspective is entirely up to each reader. Personally i recommend it highly, others may not. Borrow it from a Library first if you're not sure...if it works for you, you'll choose to buy it, if not, you wont. But in the End, no-thing really 'matters' anyway haha!

demonic indeed........RUN AWAY!!!!I gave it 5 stars so my review would not be buried into oblivion however, I give it a ZERO. I bought this book second hand so I wouldn't provide any funds to this guy and that I can research why this book is being handed out to kids in schools. I just can't believe this garbage is being given to kids in schools. This guy claims On page 1 he asks God a question and the pen started moving on it's own. God doesn't answer prayer in that manner. Only demons would do that.Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.Matthew 7:13-14This book will lead you to the wide gate....READER BEWARE
