What you take from this book depends mostly on the type of person you are.
If you spend your life shaking your head at what others around you are doing “wrong”, while internally applauding your own goodness…if you subscribe to narrow-minded views which you call “the Word of God” but which really serve to spread hate and fear against things you don’t understand or which really aren’t any of your business in the first place…if you’ve spent your life denying yourself the joy which could have been yours in favor of doing what you were taught was “right”…if you have ignored the fact that it has been proven and recorded in history that the Bible was originally composed of much more than we know today, but due to man’s corruption (and fear of loss of power over those they ruled) was edited according to man’s agenda…Yeah, you hate this book because you feel as though you’ve been insulted. You will fixate on the fact that it states that there is no heaven or hell, no devil, no damnation. No vengeful, wrathful God to punish those wrongdoers around you. That everything you hung your hopes on isn’t real. After all, this is the God you’ve lived your life thinking you knew, and you’re probably afraid to think beyond that. That’s a shame, because you’re missing the point entirely.
Meanwhile, if you want to live a life of love, joy and peace…if you already believed prior to reading this that there must be more to life than what you see around you with your human eyes…if you already believed that we are all one, and that we are all a part of God, and that we are all meant for more than what we have been taught we are worth, that we are NOT naturally sinful or shameful, that we are all gifted with God’s love regardless of what we do, that we are perfect creations which make bad choices…you’ll love this book as I do, and you’ll refer back to it frequently as I do in order to reinforce the ideas and make them a part of your heart.
Now, am I thinking “Whew, this gi

A book titled “Conversations with God” can be read from three basic perspectives: 1) the reader can accept this as the absolute word or holy bible of an objective God (i.e. God stands apart from us as an Almighty Creator who sits in judgment of His creation); 2) the reader reads it as a dialogue with a subjective God (God does not stand apart and sit in judgment of us); and 3) the reader treats it as an interesting work of creative fiction.
A careful reading of this book should preclude the first perspective. The philosophy contained in these pages maintains that God is subjective. In other words, we are part and parcel of God and therefore we can know God experientially. If God is an ocean, then we are each a drop from that ocean. Therefore a conversation with God is the same as a conversation with our own divine nature–our higher (or highest) inner self. I read the book from this perspective, which enabled me to respect the thoughts therein as being perhaps divinely inspired, while still taking it all with a grain of salt.
I found the book to be interesting, inspiring, and perhaps even enlightening. I have read quite a bit of spiritual philosophy, ranging from “new age” to traditional religions and many paths in between. While many of the traditional established religions contain a lot of negativity in the way of threats of horrific consequences for displeasing God, I found it refreshing that there is none of that here. Walsch’s God doesn’t care what you do, but created life with immutable laws such as karma (cause and effect). You are free to do as you please and God will not get angry at you or condemn you to hell. Walsch’s God maintains that we were all created to be Gods unto ourselves, and that whether we realize it or not, we are creating every aspect of our own reality both consciously and unconsciously every moment.
I often read an interesting spiritual, inspirational or self-help book with a highlighter nearby. I don’t think I’ve ever hig
