Summary: I was very angry with God.
Comment: I read book I and II and I agree wholeheartedly with the person from South Africa! Since when has a lie created so much venom?! I was angry with God at first in Book I and II. What, no judgement from God? no persecution? no turning his back? I wanted justice over my enemies and others who have done terrible things in the world! Book I and II gave me a new God. He was bigger ang greater God than any God I have ever imagined. He wasn't petty or vengeful or like us in those ways. He was full of love and compassion. An observer of all our ugliness and beauty and still loved US ALL. Book I and II has helped me to love God and feel like He is on my side - and your side too. These CWG books have been a wonderful addition to my life. When I read some of the negative comments from others I imagine that they are the rude people in dept. stores and those reckless people we see if front of us on the highways. God loves you guys too. Books I and II have taught me that by your actions you are defining "who you are". A critic wrote that the answers in the book were too simple. Maybe they really are simple. The CWG books are tools for the future. Can anyone think of a better way to go? Nothing else has worked. The deep ponderings of our most religious don't seem to help us when our daily lives have absolutely nothing to do with their theology.

Summary: Inspirational
Comment: I personally found the book to be very inspirational. I do not understand why those of you who gave this book 1 star seem to be so close minded. I could be wrong, but all of the critics of this trilogy that I have personally spoken with simply don't like it because it claims to be God's word. As soon as they hear that they immediately close their mind and immediately try to hate the book in every possible way, because they believe that God's word can only be recorded in the Bible and no where else. The world is obviously changing, and this book merely offers an option that could be taken. As far as Walsch's style being the same as God's word, that was also explained in the books. Walsch writes that his thoughts were God inspired, and that God's word was being filtered through Walsch's mind and put into his words. I loved these books, they have given me a new direction in my spiritual walk with God; one that touches my heart.

Summary: Not your ordinary review
Comment: Book one was good it laid the foundation to the Series. Two started off pretty good and the way it was going you would think it would be better. But in the 2nd Book it continues mentioning of the previous book. As in, "If you haven't gotten out and bought the first book, go buy and read it now". At first mention wasn't bad, but he kept doing it over and over again. Give me a break. The guy wrote the first book you think he would remember the questions he was asking God. If not just the questions, but the answers at least? I'm not entirely certain if he was purposefully selling his Series and newsletters, etc., but I hate to see this turn into one of those Chicken Soup for Soul package deals. Nothing against the books, but it's the "got to buy the whole set" series with the complimentary ginsu carving knife that bothers me, but I'll get over it.
Why the popularity with this book, the series? People want to believe. They want to believe there is a God and our souls may be the only proof of such things. And at the same time we are trained mice. A book upon interpretation has brought more fear of a huge celestial bearded judge in a long white dress is at our judgment. And this little gem comes up with its embracing of all we encompass and posses inside of ourselves. But at times it becomes a selling tool beyond just mere suggestion. And well the politics become a little speculative as well. You'll see in the book where trade-offs are discussed for "hair-spraying over the ozone layer"? I would have chosen large chemical factories spewing their poisonous fumes into the air, but that would have been too obvious. One could say from funnels of all types, man and not man made. Or going back to industry and man with automobiles even. He goes with hair sprays here. Come on, even God knows they have virtually eliminated CFC's in compressed aerosol cans even by 1997 when the book was published. Maybe book 3 apologizes for most of the inconsistencies? In fact he explains the use of such devices over our environment as unhealthy or detrimental to our growth/health, but applauds advancements in technology in the 20th century, of course in due part to extra-terrestrials or aliens. Yeah I became a little disillusioned half way through the second book, but I was able to manage through it.
There are two things I really like about this book that not many reviewers here covered, fear and sex. Not together, but on there own subjects I think are covered pretty well. So where do I stand amidst all this? Still in the middle, but for the most part I like these books. I'd rather read this book then the reviews of this book. Those that have gotten the most out of these books to me seem happy and have accepted this as a voice/a tool from God. Most have just merely suggested buying the book, using their own lives as an example of a positive force in this world. I think that is what would help me decide on buying and reading Book 2.
With some inconsistencies in the second book as I have mentioned and the other reviews here, one question you have to ask yourself, does it do harm or good here? I think this book does more good than harm. With all the variances in this second book and to serve as a practical tool in the teachings or observations of God, it succeeds as the Bible does that we are still left to pick and choose.
But in the end I don't think this should deter our faith, only strengthen it. A good deal of this book and the Conversations with God series as whole is factored around love. And well if it "insults" my intelligence for a little bit on some other matters then I think I can put up with the rest of it; as an intelligent person should. ~D
