The essence of Neale Donald Walsch's message lies at the heart of faith -- the sacred place in every person, where he stands alone with his God. Walsch urges each of us to forge our own unique relationship with God, a God who is everywhere and speaks to us in all we do. It is up to us to stop and listen. It is up to us to respond ... to begin the conversation. And a conversation is the first step, just as in any relationship, in establishing trust, in building friendship, in creating communion.

Beginning in 1992, while Walsch was immersed in a deep depression, he began his correspondence with God. As he wrote his questions to God, he realized that God was answering them -- directly -- through Walsch's pen. The result was Conversations With God, Book 1. In Book 2, Walsch and God resume their discussion and move on to larger topics than the personal issues addressed in Book 1. The pair discuss time, space, politics, and even kinky sex, as well as geophysical and geopolitical considerations of worldwide implications. In keeping with the first two books, Book 3 continues to clarify the muddy waters of our spiritual experience, but moves from individual and global issues to universal truths which apply to all levels of existence.

In "Friendship With God", Neale Donald Walsch shares the next part of his journey, and leads us to deepen and strengthen our own bonds with God. He honors our heart's desire: a closer connection, richer and fuller. A friendship with God.
