I would recommend this book to anyone who feels that they have experienced life on a profound level on occasion, but has a hard time alligning those deep wonderfully-personal feelings with an existing system of beliefs. Even if you haven't read the first four "With God" books, this one is more than worth your time, I promise. It's basic message is a very simple but profound one, and one that may be difficult for many people to easily agree with. The idea is that we are all God, that everything in existence is a facet of God, and that we are not actually separate from each other or from "God," but that are rather under the illusion that we are in order to have the relative experience of ourselves.

There can't be light if there is no dark. If an artist drew a beautiful soul-filling, awe-inspiring drawing in white ink, you couldn't see it if it were on white paper. That's why we need darkness in order to fully experience ourselves.

In this book, Neale Donald Walsch does a very good, concrete job of laying out the 10 illusions that he believes have caused humanity the most pain and trouble throughout our history. It all starts with the necessary, but danger illusion that we are separate from each other. Each of the other illusion builds off the previous one.

I was not raised in a religious household, but I have enough religious experiences of passionate living to believe in God. Even though I am not religious, I feel I came to these books with the skepticism of one that might feel these writings are blasphemous. But I'll have to say, that even though Walsch has a tendency to get too cute in his wording, his basic concepts are very sound, and that while I don't always believe in his style of presenting his ideas, I think the ideas themselve are very sound, and very ispiring.

It's hard not to agree that you should trust yourself and find your truth in yourself.

This is wonderful..this is absolutely perfect! Neil Donald Walsch does it again. I devoured Books 1,2,3, and FWG, and now here it is, finally, Communion with God, and I devoured it also. Book One has always been the best in my opinion, and I read it more than a dozen times and still refer back to it often, but this one is a tie with first. Ok, so a new consciousness is sweeping the planet - a new awakening, new perceptions...what is it really? It is the Spirit of Christ...he promised to come back in two days, didn't he? And in the Bible, two days is as a thousand years and it has been two thousand years since we nailed him to the cross. Christ is not coming back in body, we are far too dangerous a civilization for that because we are still murdering our prophets, so he has come back in spirit because once we have changed our perception and remember that we are all ONE, there is no threat because the thought is nothing but our own...and we awaken. Now you may say that this is God talking to Neil, not Jesus...but we are all ONE, and Jesus is the Son of God and we are the sons of God and so our thought comes directly from ALL THAT IS...our own thoughts! Neil is not playing God, Neil is a god from God, and he is willing to listen. We are all gods. Did the Bible not say "ye are gods." There is another book that I highly recommend for anyone that needs clarification of how this conversation of Neil's is possible in the first place, and what it means... The Many Waters by Lauretta Lueck. She explains where the Bible says that God is the Energy of all energy, and the Light of all light, but the intermediaries of heaven speak for God to us through THOUGHT!! It is all there...in the Bible. Many authors speak of a New World Order including James Redfield, Gary Zukav...add Lauretta Lueck to the list. I read the reviews here on Amazon.com and see so many people asking questions about the Bible...stop asking and go to The Many Waters. It is all there, and then all of these books will become so much clearer as to where they are taking you...and why. I am emphatic about CWG, The Many Waters, Celestine Prophecy, The Seat of the soul...because they have changed my life. Email me at pf255413@hotmail.com if you have something to share.

The message rates four stars. For a likely rating on the messenger, see the review dated 20 July 2003 by "a reader" who describes their personal encounter with the author. It is my hope that folks who get something good out of the message (as I have) will not be too dismayed when they learn that many folks who serve as God's messengers have yet to learn the difficult art of delivering the message with humility and grace.
