Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Book 1 by Neale Donald Walsch
1.0
Semantics, semantics, semantics. Also, potentially blasphemous?
People that pick up this book are probably looking for something, at least I was. Some direction and inspirational waters to dip my toes in as a mother trying to navigate what our religious journey might become for my little one. Anywho, I did not find that here. These "conversations" with God aim to convince the reader that life's most puzzling questions are being answered through the author. I don't doubt there was self discovery for that person, but I'm not falling into or buying the overall concept.
That being said, it wasn't without trying. I pushed through, hoping for something profound or redeeming but you can only repel me so many times.
Direct quote from the book, "Illness and disease are opposites of health and wellness, and are made manifest in your reality at your behest. You cannot be ill without at some level causing yourself to be, and you can be well again in a moment by simply deciding to be."
Shame.
