 Making peace with your God November 23, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This was the very first of the CWG books that I read and was a very inspirational book for me. It was as if somebody had gotten into my head and found all the bits that held an opinion about how God would be if I could model such a thing and then written a book introducing me to the concept of that God and how creation and the world I lived in fitted into my model.
All the questions I ever had about suffering and pain were answered before I even knew that I was questioning them, everything started to make sense when viewed from the eyes of this God, a friendship with God was something that I had subconsciously dreamed about and now it seemed that I wasn't the only one with that vision.
I have seen time again in my healing practice that we all have to make peace with our vision of God or the Universe or whatever you call it in order to bring peace and purpose to our lives...even if that purpose is to just be happy...and this is a book that can help anyone to move out of the unconscious images of God that we have been fed since birth that don't always serve our highest good. No man can paint a picture of God for you, God is something you have to know for yourself and this book is a great starting point for anyone to begin exploring.

Not traditionally a religious person, but an individual with a thirst to grow and develop spiritually, this is the most profound book I have ever read (and continue to read). It has helped me in so many ways, its next to impossible to describe how. But read the book and take what you can from it. Then, when the time comes, read it again and take even more!

philosophy? new age religion? probebly both. 'friendship with god' is a wonderful story, told in first person (the writer [thank you neale. god bless you!]) about a developing relationship between two subject who, constantly, become one.
the relationship grows to a closnes/bond as both (one!) finish each other sentences and helping, together, to choose which words will describe a certain idea. and the ieas are flowing . i whole heartly recomend this book, and, when you finished look out for more books by the same writer. enjoy!
 A Dangerous Friendship With God September 25, 2001
9 out of 44 found this review helpful
There is nothing particularly new in this book. Not only does it irritatingly reiterate previous "wisdom" from the CWG series, but also like many other new age books it stretches and adapts ancient theories and doctrines into a "lite" consumerist format. Most worringly regarding this particular book is the chapter entitled EMBRACE GOD. In this area of the text the suggestion is to meditate on the third eye area in terms of concentrated focus. Not only is this technique very advanced and therefore unsuitable for most of the readers of this book, it is also dangerous. Meditating in such a manner can awaken Kundalini ( see the writings of Gopi Krishna for info on the horrors that can occur when Kundalini is awoken in the manner of concentrated meditation which Friendship with God suggests)
If you do read this book, please think carefully before applying some of its so called wisdom. This book is arguably soundbite spritualism, and therefore lacks any real depth. The colloquial style of the writing is very easy to digest, which some may consider to be a good thing. However the downside to such ease of absorbtion for the mind is that it is very likely that people will find it hard to get it out of their heads, which in my opinion is not a good thing considering the poor wisdom contained in the book.
The best of the Conversations With God books. March 6, 2001
25 out of 27 found this review helpful
Fantastic! Having read all of the extraordinary international best-selling Conversations With God books several times over, Friendship With God remains my favourite. The majority of the content is a reiteration of the first three books of the series, but as the title suggests, the tone here is more informal. This is, literally, how to have a friendship with God. Most of the book is in dialogue form. However, Neale Donald Walsch shares considerably more of his background and life history than in other books in the series. I found this added to my already profound appreciation of all the CWG books. Not surprisingly, Mr. Walsch has had a very, very wide range of life experiences, including working with the dying with Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, involvements with radio, television, advertising and a period of time spent virtually living on the streets. The last few chapters are particularly well written and build up to an enlightening climax that is well worth repeated reading. In Friendship With God, Walsch has continued his mission to "give people back to themselves" superbly. The New Gospel of "WE ARE ALL ONE. OURS IS NOT A BETTER WAY, OURS IS MERELY ANOTHER WAY" is yet another example of the deceptively simple, powerful, revolutionary truths presented in all the Conversations With God books.
