What Was God Thinking?!: I Wanted to Know…So I Asked, a Heart-warming Dialog for the Journey Back to Love
It began with one question...
A response came...
An intimate dialog followed.
No concern was too silly.
No challenge was too big.
This engaging book captures it all.
What was God thinking?! picks up a dialog that Sandy began in her first book, Congratulations... It's an Angel, where she shared the clarity and understanding she received after asking heartfelt questions of God, following the loss of her one month old daughter. As this beautiful, healing and thought-provoking conversation unfolds, Sandy shares, not only her challenges, but those of so many, around the themes of loss, relationships, finances, fear, truth and self-esteem. The more she questions, the more profoundly the answers come, and Sandy herself, is in awe as the journey back to love is revealed and simple truths about why we're here, the purpose of life, and the possibilites of peace on earth become the pages of this book. What was God thinking?! is a dialog of inspiration for anyone who's ever wondered.

Sandy Alemian is an inspirational speaker, author, teacher, and healer. She recently graced me with her book “What was God Thinking?!” The making of this book was very neat. It is actually, in print version, her personal dialogues with God. The book reads as a letter, or conversation, between two persons—certainly not the traditional form or book narrative. Alemian felt Divinely compelled to share the messages she received with the rest of the world.
First, I must state that this book is not religious (in the colloquial sense of the word), preachy, nor does it adhere to any particular denomination. Indeed, this book is generally spiritually; some might call it New Age. Thus, if you identify yourself as a spiritual, but not religious person, this book will speak to you. If you are a legalistic, fundamentalist Christian, this book will probably feel like blasphemy to you.
Though, I also must say, that at times I had to calm myself in order to take the dialogue seriously. When Alemian responds to God with “LOL” or when God tells Alemian to “Go make your chai” I had the initial response to roll my eyes, simply because this is not what I'm used to in Divine narratives. HOWEVER, there were several beautiful, universal messages that really resonated with me. Let's explore those messages.
1.God = Love
2.Start every day with connection to God
3.God's love and peace is enough to fulfill us, but most often we don't seek it out and allow it to fill us
4.God is always present and always available to us if we seek Him (and it's free!)
5.Here is a direct quote from the book (I couldn't possibly say it better myself):
(a)“(E)ternal, ageless beauty. . .involves releasing the expectation that you need to look a certain way to be loved and to love. You know people who are beautiful on the outside, but hold something so different on the inside that no outer beauty could make up for it. . .It all goes back to where one is willing to put their energy and attention. Inner beauty, inner peacefulness, inner calm helps the outer more than you realize.” (p. 68). Amen!
6.Love heals all
Pretty beautiful, right? Thanks, Sandy, for allowing me to experience this with you and share it with the rest of your readers.

Sandy did a wonderful job writing this book! Sandy wrote it in a style that allows you to relate to the author and the subject matter in an intimate way. I think there is something in this book that will apply to anyone that reads it. Sandy lets you know that each of us has a personal connection with God,there are great experiences waiting to happen. This book can help you feel better about yourself and the world.

Wow
I met Sandy at a group reading and she helped me heal from something that happened 13 years ago. I just now finished this book and all I can say is "wow!" So many times I had an issue or question or specific prayer, a day or so would go by and I would pick up where I left off in this book. Continuously my questions would be answered within a page or so. It was an amazing experience reading this book.
