Astounding! - By: Yvonne Green, 24 Oct 2008 
This is a book you should read, whether or not you have any religious beliefs. Yes, it's comical to think that the author would be having a 'conversation with God', & I was sceptical too, when I was first introduced to the book. However, even if you don't believein a 'God' of any kind, or believe that Neale Donald Walsch has had a conversation with such a God, what the book says makes a lot of sense anyway.
And those of us who were brought up to believein a vengeful God who judges & condems us, will find it a relief to realise that this simply isn't the case.
I was sceptical - now I'm convinced!
Brilliant! - By: Amigha, 02 Jul 2008 Its a pity the highest rating one can give a book on Amazon is 5 stars, I would have given this book more. Writtenin simple language, easy to read, very engaging, though-provoking & insightful. Its certainly given me a new perception of life & the the world...I've gone & bought books 2 & 3 & cant wait to read them too!
Threatening? - By: E. N. Naimasiah, 13 May 2008 This book has been inspiring for mein many ways. The first of which is that I do have the answers to my life... I just have to look, hear, listen.. When you actually think about it, this book did not really tell me anything I did not know.. It did not reveal any Grand Truths, or simple rules on how to live life. It invokes reflection, introspection, & invites you to your own truth, whatever that may be. I find it interesting, & not surprising at all, that most of those with negative comments are Christians!!! Why feel so threatened?
Insightful Masterpiece... A MUST READ - By: Mr. Brendan Richard Lewis, 20 Apr 2008 Great questions with expansive answers! This is a life changer, but the continued books 2 & 3 are only interesting at some parts & repetitions on the other! God has mentioned he's not the all Universal God or that you have to follow GODS advice, but that is insignificant, for IT preaches Wisdom that OBVIOUSLYWILL MAKE YOUR LIFE GRANDER,HAPPIER & MORE MEANINGFUL
A MUST READ

OPens the mind to make sense of the truth - By: J. Lee, 12 Apr 2008 For years I have read the bible & studied it at college too. As you know there are many things that do not make sensein the bible & it is amazing how different the new testament is with the old.
It is amazing how people are so closed minded when it comes to religon & the bible, & it is scary & dangerous to think people really believe the bible is word of God.
If you believe that God does not need to write a book & God has never needed to make one person the chosen person to speak to us - which can leave things open to abuse - then you can make your mind up if neale is talking to God or not. If he is, then this is the kind of God I believe that created the world & us & the insights give clarification on so many untruths & distorted stories from the bible. Stories being the word.
People forget the mentality & knowledge of the peoplein the old testament & without understanding that & the power of religon - many of the stories will be taken literally.
This book started my journey & I went on the read all 3 books & then the others like relevations - which really go into the mind of religons & look at themin such depth - you will will wonder why you could not see those things for yourself.
It is important to remember that religons over the years have murdered, killed, raped, tortured, slaughtered villages, children & townsin the name of religon. the power of religon & the people who run it is scary & the influence they have is amazing & startling. With that much power there is always lots of corruption & some people will do anything to stop the truth from being revealed that could affect their power, position & wealth.
all this can be seen the how Jesus was put on the cross to die. How did he view the church leaders? What did he say? why did he have to talkin stories? this is the only the first step - but there are many authors who say the same things as these booksin a different way. It is not a easy book to read at first as it takes a lot of thinking & understanding - as you are looking & challenging all that you have learnt & been brought up with. that is always difficult & changing one's point of view is always difficult, especially when you have believed certain things for such along time & you feel they have been your crutch & now you are questioning them. I think this may be the reason the people who have given the book such a low rating have. You have to be ready for this book. I would not say over 17 years ago I was either, especially if you already involved heavilyin a church at the time.
