An Uncommon Dialogue

This book is a life changer!

For souls with an open mind! And Book 2 is not just more of Book 1. If you are new to the Conversations With God books it is as good a place to start as any. Walsch and God continue the dialogue begun in the first book, expanding on many of the themes already discussed there. It deals more in specifics and the social implications of a new awareness of God, in oneself and in all of life. The quality and intelligence of the writing is outstanding as it is in all of the CWG series. Some of the topics discussed are the nature of time (some very interesting science), organized religion (how religion actively separates man from a direct experience of God), sexuality (no stone is left unturned there!) and education (three core concepts of awareness, honesty and responsibility are suggested). "You must stop seeing God as separate from you and you as separate from each other" is proposed as the basis for all government and politics. Of course Walsch and God are making all this up as they go along... which is exactly the point! Walsch and God ask us to tell the truth to ourselves and each other. "It is always your new thought that creates your reality". Still inspirational a few years after I first read it.

This book takes selected sentences or short paragraphs from Conversations With God Book 2 and spreads them over a diary format, one for each day of the year. Below each is a space for personal thoughts or whatever else the reader chooses to write. Breaking the wisdom down into small "daily meditations" means you can ponder on the ideas and insights without having to read the original book properly!Since I first discovered the CWG books in the late nineties, hardly a month has gone by without me dipping into one or another of the series. Although I personally have not used this book in the way prescribed as I already keep a diary, I have folded the pages of my favourite quotes to glance at occasionally e.g. "You call forth precisely what you think, feel and say" (January 17th), "The young people are destroying your way of life. The young people have always done that. Your job is to encourage it. Not discourage it" (July 24th) "All attack is a call for help" (September 29th) and so on. The Conversations With God books, including this one, are contemporary spiritual sanity, clarity and hope for the future. I am completely biased in their favour. If you want other perspectives on the books, have a read of the reviews by some religious fundamentalists who feel that the writings of Neale Donald Walsch are lacking or even some kind of blasphemy.Thanks again Neale.

I have always known my childhood teaching about God were flawed. This book tells the truth. I would also recommend the book An Encounter With a Prophet for conformation of these truths.
