Amazon.co.uk Review
Conversations with God started when the author in the midst of a frustrating low-point in his life wrote a letter to God and was replied to. The book takes the format of the author questioning and God answering him. The theme that runs continually through the book is to remember our divine origins. Walsch's book makes God accessible in an almost secular way, different to our Bible-based one. An immediate, humorous, "guy next door kinda God" reminding us of basic truths. The book is written for Westerners and is practical and daily-life oriented, with answers on sexuality, money, relationships and health amongst many others. Conversations with God has the potential to reprogramme you to see the divine and spirituality in a totally new light.

The question to be asked is "is this really God?" and indeed Walsch asks it and is replied: "What difference does it make? Even if everything I've said is 'wrong', can you think of a better way to live?" "No" replies Walsch and if you are searching for spiritual answers and have not found your traditional distant God helpful, then this book could be for you. --Peter Lloyd

Review
What if God became real to you? What if He were there, ready to talk to you, to answer even your most complex questions? How would that change your life? These three books from Walsch offer the opportunity to find out for yourself. The author experienced what he believes was God speaking to him and tells of his amazement when he discovered the truth behind seeming paradoxes, made possible by this open communication. Each of these books draws the reader through a phase of interaction with God and answers are said to change your way of looking at life and the world. The fears that these new concepts may bring are countered with insights designed to give a reader wisdom, courage and the determination to stride on regardless. In the third book the dialogue expands to include the author's concepts of truth, joy, and love, all of which he believes to be interchangeable. As Walsch puts it; 'The question is not to whom do I talk, but who listens?' (Kirkus UK)

Tools for being creative.
Powerful message and insight into the role of human beings and how we can improve our creative potential in daily life. The author argues to have received the messages in this book through 'automatic writing' experiment. 'Automatic writing' is well known method for clearing the mind from daily distractions and allowing it to 'open up' to empowering ideas (See Surrealism as well as the poet WB Yeats).

The book is an experiment: If you get powerful feelings while reading it, then it works for you.
Many people evidence it worked for them. I agree.

Brilliant!
Its a pity the highest rating one can give a book on Amazon is 5 stars, I would have given this book more. Written in simple language, easy to read, very engaging, though-provoking and insightful. Its certainly given me a new perception of life and the the world...I've gone and bought books 2 and 3 and cant wait to read them too!

Threatening?
This book has been inspiring for me in 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, and invites you to your own truth, whatever that may be. I find it interesting, and not surprising at all, that most of those with negative comments are Christians!!! Why feel so threatened?
