Amazon.com Review
In Conversations with God: Book II, Neale Walsch and God resume their discussion and move on to larger topics than the personal issues addressed in their previous dialogue in Volume 1. For an "unedited transcript" of a conversation, Book II is remarkably well organized and articulate, as if Walsch anticipatd our "but what about" questions before we asked them. The peculiar pair discuss time, space, politics, and even kinky sex, but Conversations with God: Book II isn't here for just shock value. It is an honest look at some of the broad issues important to all of us on the planet, and a suggestion of how things might go if we are all willing to open our minds and have our own conversations with divinity. --Brian Patterson

 Fascinating and thought-provoking!, 2008-12-31
The conversation that was started in Book 1 between Neale Donald Walsch (an ordinary man with a lot of common problems) and God carries on here and continues to fascinate. There are intriguing discussions about organised religions, the nature of time, Einstein's theory of relativity (but a non-scientist like me can follow what's being said!), sex, education, government and politics, the economy and war. Two things are emphasised - we should cease to think of ourselves as separate beings (because in truth we're all one) and we should adopt the concept of visibility in everything i.e. show clearly to others what we're doing and why, including our financial matters - nothing should be hidden. If we adopted these two principles, then the world would be transformed.
Anyone who thinks we live in a 'civilised' society, should think again after reading this book. In order to be civilised we need to have a society where we can solve conflict without violence, live without fear, act without self-interest and love unconditionally, and we are still far, far from being able to do this after thousands and thousands of years. In addition, we have an education system that teaches facts rather than wisdom and doesn't encourage young people to think for themselves. Having been a teacher for many years, I found this chapter particularly thought-provoking. I duly resolved to try and find more ways to encourage my pupils to think for themselves, but became increasingly frustrated with the lack of time to do this (because of syllabus demands), and really it was the start of me reassessing what I was doing in life and has ultimately led to some life-changing decisions. Perhaps, after reading this book (and the others in the series as well), it will be for you too. If nothing else it will expand your horizons and show you a fascinatingly different way of looking at things. Highly recommended!

 Conversations with WHICH God?, 2008-12-28
Overall as a book about one's personal search it is an excellent book. However, to say that it is the Great Almighty God of the Bible that he is having a discussion with would be inappropriate.
Having studied both New Age, Christianity, as well as other forms of religious ideology, Mr. Walsch's writing does a 180 degree away from what the Bible says about the scriptures. Yet he wants the reader to believe that it is the same God speaking.
In this first book in the series of three is rather laid back, but the next two books really provide the reader to understand that it is a New Age type of indoctrination and not Christian in its material.
So it is a great book or a deceitful book, depending upon your view of religious tradition.

History from everyone's point of view, 2008-11-15
I thought the idea of telling children history from all sides and letting them decide for themselves was interesting. This happened to me when I was 13/14. I was in Pakistan studying for a Pakistan Studies exam. I had Indian books, Pakistani books and British books about 1947- when India left the British empire and India split up into India and Pakistan. Everyone made everyone else to be the bad guy and themselves the good guy.
I was so confused.
So when it was time to write the sequence of events on the exam paper, I could barely remember people's names and dates let alone what it all meant. India wanted the British to leave. Gandhi was working on that. Initially Jinnah was just working on the British leaving India too until some people didn't want to let him join the Indian national congress because he was Muslim. And Gandhi was like "let Jinnah join" and kept on asking Jinnah to come back. Riots erupted all over India. Muslims and Hindues were killing each other. Indian Muslims walked to the Iran border asking to be let in. The Iranians said no and many Muslims died on the way back. And then Jinnah was like we'll try for a separate country for Muslims and that became Pakistan. (And since Pakistan doesn't close its borders to other Muslims refugees all the looneys from Afghanistan keep on coming into Pakistan to this day) In the end all the key players were assassinated- Gandhi in India, the British Lord Mountbatten in UK by the IRA and Jinnah wasn't technically assassinated in Pakistan but he had a heart attack and the ambulance came 3 hours later and people said it was on purpose that it came so late and Jinnah died. So it was a very thankless job all three of them ended up having. The end.
They gave me a C on that exam. Oh well.
The book had a lot of commentary on politics and almost reminded me of listening to people talk on MSNBC or NPR.
In most near death experiences as reported to nderf, people have a flash back of their whole entire lives in which they can hear the thoughts of everyone involved in the memory. So they see the flash backs from not only their point of view but from the point of view of everyone involved.
Most people get really mortified and embarrassed by little things they did like leaving their pet out in the heat and feeling its discomfort. So I can't imagine the flash back of someone who really caused others a lot of pain being very pleasant even if after that there's only heaven.
I really liked the notion though that people act in accordance to the information that they have.

 Completely CONTRADICTS THE BIBLE, 2008-05-25
There is alot of good stuff in these books for you to think about and learn from. BUT, IT SAYS INCREDIBLY HORRIBLE THINGS THAT ARE SUPPOSEDLY OK WITH GOD, SUCH AS CHILD MOLESTATION for example. I was very excited about this collection but half way through book 1, I threw them all in the recycle bin. The movie however was excellent and extremely uplifting.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU RENT THE MOVIE AND FORGET ABOUT THESE BOOKS. The movie does not delve into the things that GOD is supposedly telling him that he writes in his books. DON`T WASTE YOURE MONEY ON THESE BOOKS !

Awakening to the Wisdom of Feeling, 2008-03-23
CWG Book 2 expands upon the concepts presented in the first book, but the focus is more upon the collective consciousness. In similar dialog fashion, the reader is drawn into a more inclusive idea of what constitutes thought creating reality.
In one section, the author mentions how "getting back to your senses" means a return to how you feel, not to how you think. He describes feelings as the language of the soul. It is a brilliant reminder that our feelings are the reality of human experience and as such are a reliable indicator of where we are at on a soul level.
By describing how we create our collective reality, we are led to understand that nothing we do, say or think is without consequence in the world or in our own experience of it.
This book is a wonderful sequel to the beginning of the dialog in Book One.
Another book that describes the effect and implications of collective consciousness is High Way from Hell: Using Emotion to Fan the Fire of Enlightment.
