Synopsis Before he became a best-selling author, Neale Donald Walsch was a newspaper reporter and managing editor, radio station program director, public information officer for one of the nation's largest public school systems, creator and owner of his own advertising and marketing firm, and a nationally syndicated radio talk show host. Then, in 1992, during a period of intense personal frustration, he sat down and fired off what he has since referred to as "an angry letter to God." And no one was more surprised than Walsch when God answered it, communicating with him through "automatic writing," a process that yielded what was eventually published as "Conversations with God". Powered initially by strong word-of-mouth promotion, the best-selling book has spawned a cottage industry in lectures, programs, seminars, workshops, and retreats by the author, and the promise of two additional volumes.

Suppose you could ask God the most puzzling questions about existence - questions about love and faith, life and death, good and evil. Suppose God provided clear, understandable answers. It happened to Neale Donald Walsch. It can happen to you. You are about to have a conversation... I have heard the crying of your heart. I have seen the searching of your soul. I know how deeply you have desired the Truth. In pain have you called out for it, and in joy. Unendingly have you beseeched Me. Show Myself. Explain Myself. Reveal Myself. I am doing so here, in terms so plain, you cannot misunderstand. In language so simple, you cannot be confused. In vocabulary so common, you cannot get lost in the verbiage. So go ahead now. Ask Me anything. Anything. I will contrive to bring you the answer. The whole universe will I use to do this. So be on the lookout; this book is far from My only tool. You may ask a question, then put this book down. But watch. Listen. The words to the next song you hear. The information in the next article you read. The story line of the next movie you watch. The chance utterance of the next person you meet. Or the whisper of the next river, the next ocean, the next breeze that caresses your ear - all these devices are Mine; all these avenues are open to Me. I will speak to you if you will listen. I will come to you if you will invite Me. I will show you then that I have always been there. All ways.
Industry Reviews "You don't have to believe that Walsch is really speaking to God to find in this book a huge amount of wisdom and a perspective on reality worthy of serious consideration, even though it's laced with some distracting and annoyingly irrelevant ideas about souls and reincarnation and simultaneous universes....Taken together, all three volumes of 'Conversations with God' turn out to be a brilliant work of spiritual discourse, a powerful critique of spiritually dead versions of contemporary religion, and a challenge to those who imagine themselves secular to rethink the metaphysical foundations of their deepest beliefs." San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Michael Lerner (12/20/1998)
"This gentle and unpretentious work is the direct product of one man's experience in questioning the deity....The exchanges are conversational in style, understanding in tone. It is a marvelously original work, enlightening and inspirational." Reasoner
" 'Conversations With God' contains a wisdom I believe we all have inside us but don't stop to listen to. Neale Walsch stopped, listened, and transcribed the word. There is the wisdom of the ages in this book."
