Neale Donald Walsch Conversations with Humanity

Neale Donald Walsch Conversations with Humanity

By OMTimes

Neale Donald Walsch is considered a modern day spiritual messenger by millions of people around the world. After working most of his life in communications, Walsch, in the early 1990s, lost his health, his job and his marriage. Homeless at age 49, he relied on the kindness of people he met on the street. He subsequently wrote the nine-book, bestselling Conversations with God series which gained him a worldwide following.

Neale, was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and raised as a Roman Catholic. He started his career working in radio, including as program director for an African American station in Baltimore. He later worked as a newspaper reporter and editor, as a public information officer and as a publicist for Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, whom he credits with rekindling his interest in spirituality.

It was in Portland, Oregon, that his life was upended by a series of personal disasters. He lost all his belongings in a fire, suffered a broken neck in a car accident and saw his marriage fall apart. He lived in a tent in Jackson Hot Springs near Ashland, Oregon, relying on the kindness of other homeless people until his fortunes changed dramatically.

In February 1992, Walsch had a mystical experience that set his life on an extraordinary new path. That experience became the basis for his bestselling Conversations with God series, which established him as an international leader in the New Spirituality.

The Conversations with God series of books has been translated into 37 languages, touching millions of lives and inspiring important changes in their day-to-day lives.
