Conversaciones con Dios: Una experiencia extraordinaria (Vintage Espanol) (Spanish Edition)
“No se trata de un libro escrito por mí, sino que me ha ocurrido a mí”. —Neale Donald Walsch
Había llegado al límite. Se encontraba en ese momento en que el dolor —el peor dolor, el que produce la soledad de espíritu —amenazaba con llevarle a la más terrible desesperación. ¿Qué mejor prueba podía tener de la inexistencia de Dios que su sufrimiento sin sentido? Y si Dios ex...more

When I was going through the roughest spiritual time in my life, this book not only restored my faith in myself as a minister and my ministry in general, but restored my faith in God.
It also showed me the God I always wanted to believe in, but was afraid to. I will forever be grateful for this book.

This is definitely a book for people with an open mind. Many people, I imagine would be put off with the way Neale presented himself. But then within the early section of the book, he wrote something that God communicate with us all the time. And we have to listen to Him firstly through our feelings and our experience, then, through text.

Whether or not you believe that this book is divinely inspired, it still presents an interesting viewpoint: that the world is what we make it, that we are responsible for everything from the success of our love life to the ravages of world hunger, on both a personal level and through mass consciousness. This book's greatest recommendation is that we each must take responsibility for our lives, and that by changing our basic judgments and perceptions, we can become our own God.
This book really makes me sad. There are a lot of false things written in it. For example : this book tries to make us think that we're god ourselves. At this point, I was assured that it wasn't GOD who spoke with Neale, the writer.
The key to life and understanding : we have to believe first, then comes the understanding. But if we think that faith to God is stale...we'll never get the true understanding. Just like relationships won't work when we have no trust.

Recipe for Conversations with God Alphabet Soup
1. Carefully rip out all pages of Conversations with God close to the binding. Attempt to make the rips as clean as possible. If this is difficult, use scissors. Can be done five or six pages at a time. Set aside in neat stack.
2. Discard binding.
3. In very large stockpot, add equal parts water and saccharine. Bring to a boil. Maybe the saccharine will melt, maybe it won't, I've never tried this recipe, but, trust me, sacchar...more

This book changed my life. I had taken my brother to the store for some cds.(this store had mostly cds and movies, but a few books too.) While he was looking for a cd I browsed through the books and this one caught my eye. I was not and am not what you would call a religious person, but I felt that I must pick it up for some reason. So I did and I read the first chapter in the store. I couldn't wait to buy it but I was broke. I came back 2 weeks later and bought it. I couldn't put it down. Sudde...more

I think the reason most people even pick up this book in a store is because they're searching for something. Something missing from their lives, something they've lost and are unable to find, a piece of their soul that's broken away -- whatever the case may be. I firmly believe that there is a reason each and every person who picks up this book ends up reading it. Some might feel that Walsch is being blasphemous. Some might feel he's creating God to be something others don't believe He is. Every...more
"You are about to have an extraordinary experience. You are about to have a conversation with God." So begins Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue (Book 1) which was a best-seller, a publishing phenomenon. Truly, this book is less a conversation than a tiresome monologue by Neale Donald Walsch, who in the process of instructing the reader to liberate himself by recognizing his own Self as God, paints an image of a God as small as Walsch himself, and filled with Walsch's own par...more
OK - I know. You can laugh, but this book was my life-line during one of the most difficult periods I've ever been through. The message that love of the self is the key to happiness was something I really need to hear at that point in my life, and it made me realize that we all manifest the events of our life, consciously or not.

OK, I confess; I didn't finish this book. I didn't even buy it. Got it for free somehow. Actually, I forgot how I got hold of a copy. Anyway, nice sentiment. I do know this happens, but I'm not sure Walsch recorded his actual conversations. They seem staged. Nevertheless, I know that people do speak with God in this manor. About ten years ago, I had a friend die in a car accident at the age of 28, and part of the celebration of this woman's life consisted of the mother reading from her journal: ...more

This book has changed my life and has made me see things in a whole new light. Because of this book, I have changed my thought process and it has made all the difference in the world.
I grew up with deep religious roots, but I have discovered that I enjoy having an open mind and discovering what others believe and just because it differs from the teachings I was raised with, doesn't mean it's not enlightening.

I'm unsure how many times I've really read this book(s). I first read them from cover to cover. Then, because of the format which allows for the opening of its pages at any point, I read a few short pages now and then, and coming away with some new bit of insight. I have also heard Mr. Walsch speak in person so when I read his works, I hear it in his voice. He is a wonderful speaker. I believe you have to be open minded to enjoy this.

This is such a bizarre book and I kept thinking I would stop reading it. But then something would hook me to read on and though I can't say I believed the author (who believes that he is channeling G-d through his pen) I do believe in the message he writes. Which is basically...be grateful for what you have now and what you will continue to receive in your life. Don't live in a state of wanting. I found his message profound. This was written before "The Secret" and "The Last ...more

Some books touch us some don't. This one speaks for me. I cried, laughed, twitched my eyebrow reading it, hence, I found myself reading another sequel and another and got the whole trilogy. It left me with a feeling of liberation and some things that I thought complicated before became sensibly simple for me. But again, that's for me. So for everyone who is not only searching for the essence about themselves, the Creator, life, world, and relationships with other people to name few, but also are...more
This is one of the highly acclaimed, new age spiritual books which has become a best-selling trilogy and has been branded as 'life changing' by many. It is written in conversational (!) style - a dialogue between the author and GOD and it tries to address the dilemmas, questions (why pain, unfulfilment, disappointment in life etc.) and life situations of average Joe/Jane, as the new age GOD/ shrink/ philosophy lecturer would. The concept of 'looking within you and finding God', 'Accepting yourse...more

Where many find it difficult to believe in this book I find it more difficult not to believe in. From studying philosophy A-level - great minds and masters such as Plato, Augustine, Irenaeus and Descartes already had exactly the right idea about life as we know it and as we don't know it. Where many, humanly, see it as completely controversial and totally blasphemous, the truth of this philosophy absolutely cemented my beliefs in the Highest thought of Love - the ultimate and absolute of all tha...more
I've read a lot of books of channeled messages. I am baffled that whomever Walsch is channeling refers to Itself simply as God. That seems dishonest. It's generally said that the Prime Creator of all creation does not communicate with humans directly, but rather smaller spirit entities do (e.g. angels). Later, the entity refers to God as a fictional character, which is more honest, but then why does It start out claiming to be God, without naming Its real identity? I'm glad It warned us not...more

It is liberating, but unyielding.

Now, there's a little background to me reading this book. I have a beautiful person in my life who happens to be my son-in-law. He is a caring person who has a wisdom beyond this life. He introduced me to some of the more "spiritual" connection books during a time in my life when people were going through a betraying cycle. I have to admit that the books he showered me with helped quite a lot. You can never control what others say or do, but you can control the way it effects you....more

This book changed the way I look at everything. It's a read, then re-reread. He starts it by "writing an angry letter to God" and says he heard God reply to his questions (hence the name). I read it loaded with skepticism but eventually, it did help me realize that maybe if there is a God, he/she/it can talk to us however we choose to hear him (free association writing, musical inspiration etc.). In that regard, I let my guard down and read it with a somewhat open mind. He has a whole ...more
I found this book in a dusty little corner of my local used bookstore (yes, they do still exist) and was intrigued by the title and premise. A few months later I have now read the entire trilogy and must say it really speaks directly to the soul, bypassing all the mental gatekeeping we humans come up with to deny ourselves direct contact with the source of our being. I'm not one of those folks who think that all religions are only in the business of building their own power by feeding gullible m...more

This author has some merits, first of all this book is a best seller; who is the writer who does not want to achieve such a glorious goal in life at least once? He is a best seller because he understood how some words work on our minds, and how to put them together to produce, rather then create, a work which has value in the market place. These are the main reasons I wanted to give 2 Golden Stars to it.

Finally, something that feels right...up until the very end. I resonated with many of the ideas in the beginning and middle, but towards the end it got very "The Secret." I feel as though that sort of thinking blames the victim in many senses and fails to take into account that, despite all the positive thinking in the world, the system works hard to keep some people up and some people down.
Other than that, I'm a big fan.
