Conversations with God

Books No Comments »

You are about to have an extraordinary experience.  You are about to have a conversation with God.

The Complete Conversations with God The Complete Conversations with God, an uncommon dialogue, is probably the one book that has radically changed my perspective in life.  That’s a pretty heavy statement, considering there aren’t really many books that would do that to someone, but this one definitely did.  I got my first taste of this book around ‘97 when a friend of mine had recommended that I read it.  It changed my life.  And I’ve been trying to do the same thing for others ever since.

Considering I came from a Catholic background, it surprised me that the book actually made more sense to me than anything I had ever read and learned back in grade school up until college.  It was both an eye-opener and a life-changer, as it challenged many of the things I learned to be truth ever since I was a kid.  It is made for everyone who is seeking inspiration, as it gives you a new perspective, or dare I say a new lease, in life.

For those who have never heard of CWG, the story of the trilogy goes this way.  Neale Donald Waslch, the author, is a very frustrated guy with everything in his life going South.  He starts writing all the questions he has on his mind, that has plagued his life for years, on a yellow piece of paper.  As he scribbled out his last bitter questions, his hand remained poised over the paper, as if held by some invisible force.  Abruptly, the pen began moving on its own, and thus began his conversation with God.

Conversations with God Picture

The picture you see above is actually the Gift Edition that contains the entire text of the trilogy.  Conversations with God is made up of 3 books, each talking about particular topics.  Book 1 revolves around the personal aspects of a person’s life and focuses on an individual’s life challenges and opportunities.  Book 2 speaks about global topics of geo-political and meta-physical life on the planet and the challenges that face the world.  And Book 3 talks about universal truths of the highest order and the challenges of the soul.  To give a fair example, as to how the “conversations” actually go, please follow the link below.

A Brief History of Time

This masterpiece was written way back in 1988, by Stephen Hawking, who is widely regarded as the most brilliant theoretical physicist since Einstein, and holds Newton’s chair as the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge.  For a book like this to be written way back in ‘88, is indeed astounding as the “theoretical” concepts Hawking talks about here seem way further than what was fairly known at that time.

This is known to be the best single book on astrophysics for the common reader, as Hawking tries (rather successfully) to explain to audiences the possible answers to the most curious questions we all have about the universe.  Questions like how the universe began and what made its start possible; whether the universe is unending; how space and time work in parallel or otherwise; and what will happen when it all ends.

How The Universe Began

This is Hawking’s first book for the non-specialist, and holds many rewards for the lay audience, which practically refers to us all.  The book provides a glimpse into the workings of his mind and delves into rather lucid revelations on the frontiers of physics, astronomy and cosmology.  This is also a book about God, or perhaps the absence of a God.  As Hawking embarks on a quest to answer Einstein’s famous question on whether God had any choice in creating the universe, he is attempting, as he explicitly states, to understand the mind of God.  And this makes all the more unexpected the conclusion of the effort, at least so far: a universe with no edge in space, no beginning or end in time, and nothing for a Creator to do.
