His mother was "trafficking with the devil," according to Walsch's deeply religious aunt, and as a result, "God will send her straight to hell."<p> That was the start of a relationship born of "fearship," as Walsch calls it. In <I>Friendship with God</I>, Walsh speaks to the struggles he's had learning to see God as a true friend rather than a punishing judge. Like his immensely popular <I>Conversations with God</I> series, <I>Friendship with God</I> is written mostly in dialogue format, modeling how anyone can converse with God. What makes the book especially accessible is Walsh's humble voice that gently addresses most people's confusion and doubts. For example, Walsh talks about feeling squeamish that God knows the shameful secrets of his life. In response, God points out that Walsh has shared his dark secrets with friends and lovers. So why not share these truths with God, who has never judged or punished him, and never will? These types of tender and reassuring conversations give readers the courage to begin their own private dialogues with the divine. <I>--Gail Hudson</I> 47606 1999 Friendship with God: An Uncommon Dialogue total:161|5:4|4:1|3:2|2:0|1:2| 161 665 219 11 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Aug 20 18:20:37 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 18:20:54 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jun 11 21:53:49 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 21:55:56 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Dec 30 16:31:43 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 31 07:55:11 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Thu Oct 15 21:51:06 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 21:52:53 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Mon Jul 30 09:48:20 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 30 09:51:13 -0700 2007
