Summary: Message: Oregon is Heaven on earth
Review: The Chinese translation of Walsch's book has just been published in Beijing by the government owned "Friendship Publishing House" and is selling well here as a critique of the Bible and Judaism/Christianity. If one wants an anti-religious book, fine, this is as good as any. But what was particularly galling about this one (at least in the Chinese translation) is the way that Walsh's wisdom is so heavily dependant on his relatively cushy environment. The message that "this life can be paradise, man is God" might be convincing for some in the quiet rural niche of Oregon Walsch has found, it would be considerably more convincing if it was written by someone in Bangladesh or Sierra Leone who has experienced some of the hell on earth this planet offers many of its inhabitants.

Summary: There at it again!!
Review: Spiritually lost and desperate? deluded by self - centrism? duped followers? dimwits? marginally literate?. There at it again. 2000 years ago, these same guys would have fed everyone that gave this book a good review, to the lions.I was a Pentecostal for nine years and I can assure you they have no where near the brilliant answers presented in this book. Neale has brought us an invaluable gift and I wish this book is read by everyone on this planet with an open mind. I love the trilogy and will endeavor to put its teachings into practice. May Neale become very rich for this work he has brought to us. I give these books a fabulous five stars.

Summary: "God is a Salame Sandwich"
Review: Simply one of the most amazing books I have ever read. Although some people may claim this to be New-Age-y, it is in fact completely contemporary in nature, speaking of life in general and existence. Some may claim that the author is trying to start his own religion: This is hardly the case. And for those of you who don't actually believe that these are God's words: Your loss. I don't mind the many times this book contradicts (some sometimes insults) the New Testament (or even the Old), since I am Jewish, though not incredibly religious. Everything makes sense in this book once you think about it (Explanations get longer and more concise as you read along, so if you get it the first time, you can skip ahead).

Summary: Metaphysical mumbo-jumbo
Review: Ever feel like you wanted to slap God in the face? Chances are you will after reading a few chapters of this book. Talk about beating around the burning bush. Get to the point God...PLEASE! After so many centuries of silence from the big guy, it now seems that we can't get him to shut up. At least, that is, when he's conversing with 'Master' Walsch. And there you have the other maddening aspect of this book. The author portends to be a person who is able to freely chat with God and ask him any question whatsoever. And how does Walsch squander this remarkably unique opportunity? By asking God a series of jejune, self-centered and banal questions like why the author's personal relationships never work out, and why he seems unable to make enough money. Holy Moses! Hey Mr. Walsch; this is God speaking: Do us all a favor, and stop trying to become the next Messiah. Give up on this New Age, metaphysical mumbo-jumbo and start making a serious investment into some good hard-science texts.

Summary: This book changed the way I see everything!
Review: This book changed the way I see everything. It is as if God was talking directly to me. I couldn't wait to finish it. I looked forward to each time I was going to read it. I was sad it was over. I can't wait until I get the next book.

Summary: Warning...
Review: Hmmm....For those of you who are Christians out there and are contemplating buying this book, please be aware that this series of books contradicts much of the Bible. I was a Lutheran before and after reading it, and all these books made me do was question God and His motives more than I already did. This sounds too much like Satan's latest attempt to bemuse, beguile, and bewilder humanity at large; before reading this book, ask yourself why you're thinking of buying this. If it's guilt you're trying to deal with, (as was the case with me) let it be known that there are more rational ways of dealing with guilt than reading another human's attempt at conversing with God and having him tell you what God says is right and wrong. The author writes that God says Jesus wasn't perfect...Hmmm...I wonder why. Jesus's perfection is the basis for the New Testament and the only reason for salvation in a Christian's beliefs. I wish I had never read this book; it threatens to tear down too many ingrained ideals that my life has been built upon. It's really a scary feeling to have someone actually believe that Jesus wasn't perfect and that Satan doesn't exist (even though I think it would be nice if Satan didn't exist and everyone went to heaven). By and large, much of these books are blasphemy and may leave you with more inner turmoil and doubt than you already may or may not now possess. I don't know...Jesus was called a blasphemer in His day by some, but I would rather trust in the mighty name of Jesus than in the writings of the human Neale Donald Walsch. Think twice before acting once. (As stated in the Bible) Think twice before emersing yourself in the pages of this book that may or may not help you. I personally am going to trust that big, thick book that has the nickname of "The Good Book." (the Bible) P.S. This book says that there is no such thing as sin either. Draw your own conclusions.

Summary: The work of Satan never sounded so good.
Review: The first 50 or 60 pages of the book represent the best work of religious propoganda since the Gospels. By the middle of the book, you forget you are reading a book and actually begin to think that God is talking to you directly. Walsch uses Christian and Buddhist themes like most New Agers, but he doesn't feel New Age. He tells us to love others, to be good, and to not judge. He tells us that we will be reincarnated until we find God, and eventually we are all predestined to make it anyways. He tells us that we find God by realizing we are Gods ourselves. Unfortunatly, New Age is still New age, and Walsch's designer religion fails because of it. It fails because it lacks any staying power. One read, maybe two, and then you'll never read it again. It is like shooting up on heroin - the first time is great, but after a while, all it does for you is waste your life. Like all New Age religions, it fails because it doesn't require anything but your money. Jesus and Buddha both layed down paths that would lead to love , to selflessness, and to faith in their teachings - and they didn't charge a penny. THAT is why their religions will continue to flourish while New Age religions burn out after their first printing. Nothing is free in this world, not even "Conversations with God."

Summary: So what if Walsch makes a good buck?
Review: I've often wondered why the Bible should be the only book containing the word of God. As if God would have stopped talking 2000 years ago! I'm not even religious (though raised a protestant), but reading CWG made me realize that God maybe isn't the kind of guy they always told me. For me, this is the first book that really mattered. Even if I'm not completely convinced of the truth of everything that's in there, it did give me a kind of inner peace that I think will last. And if it really is God talking, well, to me that's an irrelevant question. I think that, if there's a God, you should be able to find Him/Her anywhere, if you look hard enough. And if CWG contradicts the Bible, so does the Bible itself (turn your cheek to receive another blow in the New Testament, vs an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth in the Old Testament). And if Walsch makes good money of it, so what. You go ahead and try to publish a bestseller without making money!

Summary: Judgment is far beyond reality
Review: Critics, your judgment's are far beyond reality. It takes a life time to understand the Bible, and once its placed into practise there is no room for criticism. For then one may discover self values which take more time than is available in the day to find. Therefore thoughts lie upon our own abilities to better know our own characteristics, instead of the Ego which has the tendency to destroy one another's image. By using the Bible for a tool to measure with is not a good plan. The meaning of the Bible is books with history, events, and Gods word to learn individually into our own needs in private. It is not meant to show off our reading abilities, but to know what we have read and place it in its proper place into our lives. Much difference lies between the theories of humanity and the plans of God.
