CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD, BOOK 1
by Neale Donald Walsch
read by Neale Donald Walsch, Edward Asner & Ellen Burstyn
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER.
Suppose you could ask God the most puzzling questions about existence, and God would provide clear, understandable answers? It happened to Neale Donald Walsch. Conversations with God is Neale Donald Walsch's account of his direct conversations with God, beginning in 1992 while Walsch was immersed in a period of deep depression. He composed a letter to God in which he vented his frustrations, and much to his surprise, even shock, God answered him. Focusing on the universal truths that influence all life, Conversations with God offers a picture of the could be better. Conversation with God challenges us to push past the imagined boundaries of what we believe ourselves capable and look instead to all that we can attain as co-creators with God.
REVIEW
During a bleak period of his life, Walsch sat down to write some questions for God. Surprisingly, God answered by guiding Walsch to write His responses. In the audio production of his bestseller, Walsch reads these questions, and actors Edward Asner and Ellen Burstyn answer as the voice of God. Walsch's voice, coupled with Asner's masculine, commanding performance, makes the dialogue come off sounding hokey and contrived. Casting such a stereotypical sounding actor as God seems to undermine Walsch's assertion that God isn't patriarchal or human. Burstyn's performance meshes better with the book's message, but only previous converts will wholeheartedly believe what Walsch and "God" have to say. This is unfortunate since Walsch's message of unconditional love and tolerance is refreshing. J.T. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
