Neale Donald Walsch Conversations with Humanity
This particular book was exhilarating for me because it answers the central questions that I think the Conversations with God books raise, which are: What’s the point of all this? What is the purpose of our lives beyond simply creating and ensuring physical survival—and then, perhaps, some degree of comfort and joy—for ourselves and our loved ones? Is that all there is? And if there is more of a point to life than that, what is it? And most important of all, how can we cause our own lives to serve that larger agenda?
Those are the questions I sought to answer here.
OMTimes: What makes you think you have the answers?
NDW: I don’t. I don’t have any more answers than the average person does—which means, not very many. And the answers that I carried around with me for years—given to me by my family, my society, and my culture—were not very good ones, not very accurate or very helpful in terms of giving me the tools with which to create a better life.
OMTimes: Why would our readers be interested in the answers in this book?
Because the answers in the book didn’t come from me. I believe they were inspired by God, and that they are an extension of the messages given to us in the Conversations with God dialogues.
OMTimes: You believe these answers came directly from God?
NDW: I do. Because that is my personal experience. But this is not a “dialogue with God” book, where I ask questions and God answers. It is an “inspired” book, in which I believe the narrative to have been inspired by God.
