Rating:  Summary: Magnificent! Review: I thought that these books were inspired, now I KNOW! This latest book came at exactly the right moment. After reading the first 3 books, I at first felt exhilerated, then deflated, as they seemed to bring into my awareness the state of unconciousness that I could now see/feel the the world living in, and then I "found" Friendship with God, and that all changed. It resolved the last of my mind's questions, and helped to provide more practical ways of applying the concepts to my life. I read this one(the first time around ) in two days, and if you thought your life changed after the first three books, wait 'till you read this one. We can no longer hide from the truth, we will all re-member it some"time"ÿ. After finishing the first books, I bought/read about 30 books, looking for the "right" way for me to achieve the awarness I was looking for, and I finally found my answer here! The search is over, let the experience be ours together. I would have to say that I strongly recommend this book!
Rating:  Summary: We need this book! Review: These books affirm what I have suspected all along: that we ARE spirits having a human experience, not humans having a spiritual one. Doesn't the logic of it all ring true for you? Think about it! The New Testament was meant to last for 2000 years (for those of you who actually read the Bible) so that means it is now outdated! We need another "life map" to go by and these books can be very helpful if we apply the knowledge and love in them. They offer hope and solutions where we don't have any. It's true, all of our systems have failed. Observe it yourself! We keep making the same mistakes. The CWG series and Friendship With God offer the help we desperately need, especially here in the USA where materialism and greed are gods. Let's get back to the loving relationships with each other and God that we REALLY need, things that will actually satisfy us.
Rating:  Summary: Create your own friendship with God Review: This book provides a wonderful blueprint for creating a friendship with God. It really doesn't matter whether you believe that Neale is having a conversation with God. Simply use the information from this book and you will find that you can have a real friendship with your God.All of Neale's books are really written to inspire you to remember universal truths as they relate to you, personally. When you read with an open mind you will feel the truth of what is being said here. The insights you have can be wonderfully enlightening and even transforming for you. A key point in Neale's message is that he does not espouse that this is THE way or even a better way. This is just one way to be and you are the judge of whether it works for you. I personally believe that anyone who uses this information to create their own personal relationship with God will be delighted and amazed at what they experience.
Rating:  Summary: Thank You God and Neale Review: Once again, God and Neale Donald Walsch, explain to us what this life is all about. There is so much comfort in knowing that it is truly simple and that we have complicated our lives with so many untrue beliefs. Anyone who is truly searching for the answer to mysteries, must read all of these books (Conversations With God, 1,2 & 3, and this book) in order. Then re-read them, for you will gain more insight each time they are read. Many will dismiss the entire premise of these books, but keep an open mind and believe that God does speak softly to most of us, but loudly and clearly to others. Neale is one of those who God "had" to be pretty plain with and I'm certain he is eternally grateful! So am I!
Rating:  Summary: forgive us... Review: I bought this book because it came very highly recommended by a writer friend. He claimed it changed his life. I've been a Christian most of my life, and I'm always willing to understand more or better the precepts I've tried to live by. BUT!!!! if that's what you are looking for, this is not the book for you. The writer of this book goes into great detail about the religious "guilt" laid on his back by an unmerciful clergy, and then claims to have overcome it by self examination and introspection. He claims god told him that none of what is taught in the Bible is true, nor is anything from the established church to be thought of as truth. Namely, that God is righteous and therefore demands righteousness, or that God abhors sin (not sinners). What he's trying to get across is that GOD JUST WANTS TO BE YOUR BUDDY. There is no right or wrong, no atonement necessary because, hey, we've all screwed up once in a while, right, dude? No worry needed about eternity, for God is there to pat you on the back and tell you no matter what you did, "I love you, man." Schlok and hoo-hah. Skip it. Read INSTEAD: The Blessing by Gary Smalley. That's one that will change your life.
Rating:  Summary: Born again Christian Review: I have just started reading this book and it was very hard for me to put it down the first night. It is a substancial book but a great read, so far, for those who want to be closer to God and understand that he is here for us. God Bless.
Rating:  Summary: More outstanding conversations with God Review: Having read the first three books "Conversations with God" 1,2 and 3 I was totally impressed and grateful for them. I didn't read any other of Neale/God's books for some time. I continually returned to these books for inspiration, guidance and upliftment and they are a great source to help one remember who we really are, particularly at times when life seems a little heavy. I was fortunate to hear Neale speak on his visit to New Zealand and he masterfully reinforced all that he and God had written in books 1,2 and 3. Even after that event I still wasn't motivated enough to read their book "Friendship with God". It wasn't until my wife bought the book home from the library for me unexpectedly that I read it. I must of subconsciously thought that because the first three books were so unbelievably magnificent that "Friendship with God" couldn't possibly be better or contain anything new. Well, it wasn't better, (you can't better the plain truth). But just as inspirational? Yes. Just as helpful? Yes. Just as enlightening? yes. "Friendship with God" is right up with all his other books, simply unmissable if you are seeking the truth about existence. As a bonus their are some really useful tools explained by God to assist us getting in touch with ones true self. And the best of all, God's wit is still there. He has a keen sense of humour which pops up occasionally, and makes this book a fun read. These books have a habit of appearing in your life at exactly the appropriate time. Well done Neale. Well done God. Good effort from both of you. Keep it up.

Rating:  Summary: Let Synchronicity be your Guide Review: One of the things I have notice about divinely inspired information is an extraordinary command of the language, and an ability to say a great deal with few words. You will find that within this book. You know... there are no accidents... It is not an accident that you are reading these words. It may have different meaning relative to you, but it is no accident. There is no doubt in my mind that FWG is from a divine source. And even if it is not, I don't care... I'll take brilliance and genius wherever I can get it. There may be those of you who doubt whether these could actually be the words of God, and I have no quarrel with that. A valuable addage is "Know a tree by it's fruits" And the fruits of this book are Love, and Understanding, and Happines, and Connection... And that's good enough for me. If you only read one book this year, this is the one. --Frank Boyd
Rating:  Summary: A New Friendship For Me Review: Friendship With God, by Neale Donald Walsch, does, indeed, and to good purpose, rehash some of the ideas presented in earlier books. Most of us could stand some repetition to remind us Who We Are. In any case, if it isn't new to you, skip to the good part: God is no longer an unknown Entity somewhere Out There, Someone to whom we present our case and wait for Jdgement On High. Instead, He/She resides deep within my own heart, and yours, and you and I can have our own friendship with God. And I do, a fact that perhaps makes it easier to believe Neale's assertions that his words are the result of conversations with God. Kudoes, Neale.
