Conversations With God, Book 2: Living in the World with Honesty, Courage, and Love (Conversations With God, 2)

Excellent book. A great follow up to Book One.

I have recently finished all three books so I am writing the same review for all three. If you are seeking to know God , Love and the connection of these two and yours to them this book is for you. When reading these books be sure to read them in order. Many questions will come to you but wait till you read book three then you can connect all three books together. The material in this book comes a bit heavy but all will make sense at end. Thanks a lot to my dear friend Dr. Jayne Dye for recommending this book to me.

This is a wonderful book for someone who has been on a spiritual journey for many years and finds her own thoughts and feelings about lifeand the world put into words. The difference between religion and spirituality is expressed extremely well. I have followed the path describedfor a long time and find my very own vision of life and the after-life resonate in my heart. It is satisfying to know I am not alone in my belief-system.

I ordered all three books on the strength of other reviews and recommendations.When I got the books, I have to say I was a little surprised at how 'local' this American-style God was.For example, in discussing WW2 and the events that led to the decision to bomb Hiroshima, only one aspect of this massive war was mentioned...you guessed it.The Pearl Harbour bombing!!!!Another aspect which 'surprised' me was the exortations to have lots and lots of sex.Well, I've been hearing this same message from every boy that ever looked at me sideways since I was about 15 years old.'God' has gotta have a lot more to this aspect of physicality /sexuality ...? What about scientfic studies that seem to show that the higher the number of sexual partners, the less oxytocin (bonding hormone) released, particularly by men, but notable in both genders?Elsewhere in the book, there is reference made to the economic oppression of women ... but the link between the sexual use of women and other means of exploitation are never made clear. In a book where God does not shy from politics, and in a world where starving women are forced to prostitute themselves for food, I found this strange.There is no discussion of the spiritual worth - or otherwise - of the process of giving birth. Women commonly relate giving birth as a profound spiritual experience. Are women simply dreaming when they say this?One more thing - the references again and again to noble savage myths. Australian Aborigines are lauded as gentle fonts of wisdom who were so advanced they would copulate in public. Not as all sure about that one, but one thing that is known is the heavy violence exacted against women. There are many historical references by first white settlers as to the horrific scars carried by Aboriginal women. Perhaps an American God can't be expected to know this? Or was he simply too polite to say.All in all, a worthwhile if sentimental book.

Full of wisdom, I read the first book and continue to learn from this book 2

I love this book. I keep it in the pile of inspirational books that I have and pick it up when I want to read from it. I recommend it for anyone serious about their spiritual journey. It is very informative, enlightening, and in keeping with the things I have come to believe about the oneness of all things in the Universe.

Talking with an entity does not constitute talking with god......all though I do not disagree with what this guild has to say. By the way I'm only up to the third chapter. You asked. Ernie

I have enjoyed all of Neale's books that I have read and recommend all of them. The Conversation books make you think about your own relationship with God and question what we have been "fed" from birth. Read them with an open mind and allow your feelings to show you the truth.

Inspired - Great Book.
