The 3 books are interesting in the perspective they bring. They’re entertaining at the very least. Whether they are “divinely” inspired is another question. I’m sure some see Walsch as yet another of God’s spokesmen, or the Devil’s. I don’t elevate him to that level.

I do have to commend him though, he’s built quite a cottage industry for himself. He’s milking it for all it’s worth, with a pay for website, and I don’t know, at least 10 books in the “Conversations with God” series, with probably more coming.

If I come across as a bit sarcastic, it’s because I am, if these books are “divinely” inspired, I wish the Almighty would think of ANOTHER way beside writing books or using words to communicate by proxy. The method’s been tried to ad nauseum, and frankly it hasn’t worked out very well. Surely, being “God”, he has more powerful ways of communicating, but then again, maybe He needs a lesson in PR.

It’s interesting, on the more tricky questions of application of these principles that Walsch puts to “God”, the Almighty seemed to me to dodge them with rather glib and pat answers.

My point, and why so many of these self help and also religious books are like cotton candy, they taste good, but have no nutritional value. And that’s because the things they try to “teach” can’t be done so through words. They have to be EXPERIENCED for them to sink in.

That’s why so many people brought up on endless Bible (fill in the blank with any other religious text) classes, or those who read self help books (I’m one of them) still don’t get it, because they have no way to experientially connect with the teachings.

Words don’t conduct experience very well. Yes, some people find just the “right” words which “open” the door of their understanding, through whatever means, but the vast majority of us struggle with half baked understanding because the meaning of the words haven’t been experienced.

I am not a fan of vampires and werewolves, but I love this story! Words are written in a way that you feel as if you’re part of the story. Great characters, Fantastic visual!!!
Sports Collectors Digest 1

This is a good book to read! When I received the book, I started to read the first couple of pages and couldn’t put the book down!!! I love how the author described the experiences the main character was going thru and also how he would wonder off (main character), and reflect on his youth experiences, finding his one true love!

We had received a small “apartment style” bagless vacuum cleaner as a wedding present three years ago. We were fed up with the constantly clogging filters, and when the wheels broke, we needed to get a new vacuum. My wife didn’t want to spend a lot of money, and I didn’t want to deal with filters all the time, so we went for this one.
It’s powerful! It’s cheap! Maintenance is easy. My wife vacuumed up a washcloth and broke the belt, and it took me about five minutes to replace. It gets the dust out of our throw rugs and off the floor. It’s also relatively light for a full size vacuum.
Drawbacks are that it’s a bit noisy, a bit hard to maneuver in tighter spaces (but then one should probably be using the extension hose), and that the beater roller still spins while the hose is in use (hence the vacuumed-up washcloth!). It is ideal for our three bedroom apartment.
A huge value for the money.

This product is ok, I’ve been using it everyday on my dog but I can’t tell a huge difference.

I looked everywhere for this and was so happy when I found it here on Amazon. It’s nice to revisit an old favorite while driving down the road, giving me a great alternative to the garbage that’s on the radio. It was a little expensive but it is worth it for this hard to find gem.

My girlfriend and I each got this pedometer and we both really like it. It is small, accurate, and easy to operate.

people complain that the characters are thin. Maybe so, but the story is rich. rich in history, rich in emotions rich in the real life of old time traveling circus. I lived on the ringling train in the 70’s. As I read the story I felt transported back to the life. If you want to experience the life, read it. Not for everybody but everything for some. Drama
