N – Neale Donald Walsch #AtoZChallenge
“The struggle ends when gratitude begins.” ~Neale Donald Walsch
It is such a human tendency to speak to God and to ask Him questions when things in our life get difficult. But what if you would get a response from God! Imagine receiving answers from the Almighty Himself! That is what author Neale Donald Walsch experienced in his low phase. Thus was born this beautiful series of books called ‘Conversations with God’.
A conversation with God where the author poses questions and he gets the answers via a dictation. When he wondered whom does God talk to in this manner, God replied that He talks to everyone, all the time, but who really cares to listen?
Whether we call it our inner voice or our inner guidance, we can seek the answers to our most difficult questions – within. Seek and you shall receive is perhaps most true about our connection with the higher power. For those with an open mind, a limitless curiosity and a sincere desire to find answers, his books are very inspiring.
If you do read this series, go a step further to connect with your own inner voice. I did too in my desperate times*. The conversation is real. And it begins when you decide to be still and listen.
Key Highlights:
“If I do not go within, I go without.”
“All human actions are motivated at their deepest level by one of two emotions – fear or love.”
“What you do in the time of your greatest trial can be your greatest triumph. For the experience you create is a statement of who you are and who you want to be.”
*Read: The Practice of Quiet Time.

This is such heavy stuff! A conversation with God… is it not intimidating? What was your experience like?
It sounds big ’cause we are talking about God here. But really, try listening and see how you feel about it. Not intimidating at all, rather it is intimate.
I read these books many years ago and gave them to my daughter when I had finished. I think it is time to buy new copies!
Nothing like passing good books to our kids. How old was your daughter when she read these books?
