Conversations With God : An Uncommon Dialogue

Wow. This is a beautiful, validating and enlightening book. I have been spiritual care practitioner for decades and it is troubling to see so many people harmed by what was/is dictated as GOD's words, but has caused trauma and pain that resulted in people turning away from GOD. This book resonates what I have found through many religions and spiritual beliefs, that GOD is loving, compassionate and kind as well as what I have experienced in my own spiritual journeys. My prayer is that this book reaches the hands and minds that need to find a way back to the truth of what GOD truthfully represents. To others that may find this book a blasphemy, I pray that your eyes can be opened as well as your hearts to see that the journey to finding GOD takes many paths. That none or the RIGHT path for all but may be the path that is right for you. Blessings and peace to all and to the author for writing such a lovely book. Thank you.

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.

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!

Interesting and amazing read for people seeking, whether there’s a belief in God/a Higher power or not. If you’re open to at least reading to understand I believe this book can be helpful. Not everything may resonate with you. But eat the meat and spit out the bones. Take from it what is digestible for you. I’m taking my time and highlighting so many things in this book. I was originally going to get this through Audible but I’m glad I bought the book instead. It’s useful to be able to pick up the book and refer back to something. My 70+ year old dad who has been into metaphysics since before I was born recently read it and told me about it. What’s surprising is that he just now read it. This was his time to run across it. I bought two copies and gave one to my son. He finished it and shared it with his girlfriend. If you’re at all curious I say buy it.

Amazing book! Changed my life!

I would not call this book "God-dictated" as much as "God-inspired." It's a very human book with some divine seeds cast about. Most of it is almost written from a Deist perspective; however, it also espouses the New Age philosophy that everything that happens to you is created by you, which can be tough for some to hear -- especially those who maybe have lost a child, had cancer, or been bankrupted due to medical bills. I disagree with the book's basic philosophy that God doesn't care if we succeed or fail, if we sin or live to serve others, or if we do wrong or right, because there is no such thing as good or evil. But again -- the book is written by a human, from their human perspective. I do think it does a good job of introducing the idea that God is bigger than we know and capable of more than we understand, yet also someone we can talk to as we would a friend or beloved parent. So if it enlarges our concept of God or brings God a little closer to us, I guess that is a good thing. But if something in this book doesn't sit well with you, I'd say don't feel as if you're insulting God by not believing it. it's just one interpretation of many regarding what God thinks. And if you read it with that perspective, you'll probably enjoy it.

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.

Growing up in a Christian home that was fairly religious, and attending Christian schools from middle school onward into college, my knowledge of the Bible and church principles was really strong. But experiencing the nasty drama that exists in churches and feeling like the closed-mindedness of religion made me question God on so much stuff. This book was recommended by my life coach and it changed the game. It felt like I was having a conversation with God. Admittedly, there were parts where I got mad. Really, really mad! Angry to the point of shouting and yelling at God for things in life that felt completely wrong and unjustified. But getting to that place of transparency and surrender has changed everything for me. I recommend this book often, usually to my students and coaching clients because of how transformative it is. Religion is about control. God wants relationship. That's give and receive (not give and take). This book can be the conduit for a different kind of dialogue with the Universe that you haven't had yet.

This is a life changer. Some of the most amazing, new, interesting and incredible concepts are written about in this book. Highly recommend if you're looking for a new perspective on things.

Esse livro é daqueles que você sabe que vai reler em pouco tempo. Traz grandes reflexões acerca das vida, do mundo como um todo e de como vivemos nosso cotidiano. Vale a pena ler e se aprofundar. Li graças ao Cadu Cassau (tem um canal no YouTube). Recomendam que entrem no canal dele e acompanhem também os vídeos, pois ele toca mto nos temas que esse livro engloba. ABS.

Poor printing quality. The font is even not consistent

Happy with the purchase

Why is this not an original book, the print was blurry, the alignment was off... Why is amazon selling a copy and not the original
