I believe the desire is to kiss the God, who is talking through the book, but since I do not see him, I reach for the book instead.īelow are some of my favourite quotes on various topics from this book. I feel this incredible desire to kiss or hug it from time to time. While lots of books have uplifted and inspired me, there is something a little different with this book. I feel like he is talking to me, and the feeling that I associate with the presence of God is joy and lightness. It scoffs at the concept of Obedience and Fear of God and empowers us to be like and of him instead.Įvery time I read this book, and I have read it many many times, I feel the presence of God . It seeks to break down the traditional view of the tyrannical God and carefully makes a point about frameworks and values that society has created and how most of us follow them without checking if they resonate true to us. The dialogue covers most topics which are on top of mind for most people such as – Love, money, relationships, work, health and sex! It also serves as an introduction to many new age concepts such as the power of manifestation, affirmations and abundance. Further God is everything I imagine him to be – He/ She has a great sense of humour, is greatly uplifting, deeply inspiring, and from time to time brings out tears of gratitude and joy. Every word in that book resonates with me as the truth. It starts with him being a little incredulous about the possibility but as the book goes on, you cant help but feel like this is God speaking. The author was inspired to write it as he felt a desperate need to pen down an internal dialogue which is supposedly God talking to him. The book, which is really a dialogue between the author and God, is a true masterpiece. It was answering all the questions that I had in my head at the point, and every answer was filled with such beauty and grace, my heart just filled with joy. It was enthralling, and seemed to be talking directly to me at every moment.
This time I was clearly ready for it for I once I started, could not put it down.
I finally found it again, all dusty and speckled yellow with age and moisture somewhere in 2009 or 2010. It seemed to have no impact on me at the time.
I had read a bit of it, but could not keep interested enough to read it and absorb it. The only way I can explain not reading it is that I was not ready for it. Somehow, I could not get down to reading it for years. I first came across this book in the early 2000s. I am choosing to write the first of my “spiritual” book reviews on one of my all-time favorite books – Conversations with God – Book 1 by Neale Donald Walsch
