Book: Conversations With God - An Uncommon Dialogue

Author: Neale Donald Walsch
Publisher:

Neale Donald Walsch was at a low in his life, filled with failure. He decided one day to write a letter to God; and so he picked up a pen and a paper and wrote: 'What had I done to deserve a life of such continuing struggle?'. Amazingly, his hand remained on the paper and scribbled the words 'Do you really want an answer to all these quesions, or are you just venting?'. And before he knew... he had started the ultimate conversation... with God.

The crux here is not whether this is possible. This is one man`s experience, and although I have no proof to convince you of its truth or falsehood, I thought the content of the book was highly in correspondence with the best of religious and social dogmas in the existing world.
There are three books in this series: book 1 deals with personal topics, a person`s life and oppurtunities; book 2 deals with global topics of political and metaphysical life and book 3 deals with universality and the soul.

The books are about one man`s questions and God`s answers to them. The questions are amazingly close to a common man`s thought process. They include quetions relating to life, death, soul, wrong and right, accidents, love, teaching, heaven, hell and the existence of God Himself to politics, sports, altruism, pessimism, truth, natural disasters and you-name-it-all. The answers are heart-warmingly close to be believed. At times, they defy many general beliefs that the world holds, but they contain a strange logic, a strange sense about them that may change your thinking forever.

Just to prove a point... here is an excerpt
'
[Neale] Are you saying the world would always have problems? Are you saying that you actually WANT IT THAT WAY?

[God] I am saying that the world exists the way it exists... quite by design. YOU have created it that way

... You claim that there are good reasons that 40,000 people a day must die of hunger. There are no good reasons. Yet at a time when you say you can do nothing to stop 40,000 people a day from dying of hunger, you bring 50,000 people a day into your world to begin a new life. ... It is a plan which totally lacks logic or reason, to say nothing of compassion.

You are systematically destroying your own environment, then pointing to so-called natural disasters as evidence of God`s cruel hoax... You have played the hoax on yourself, and it is your ways which are cruel.

... It is not your fault, you say, and in this your are right. It is not a question of FAULT, it is a matter of CHOICE.

... I will do nothing for you that you will not do for your self... The world is in the condition it is in because of you, and the choices you have made - or failed to make. (Not to decide is to decide).
