Best Neale Donald Walsch Books That Will Blow Your Mind
Neale Donald Walsch is a spiritual messenger. He helps readers relate to God from a modern perspective.
His earlier books are inspired by his two-way written communication with God i.e. he asks God a question and God gives him an answer. They are part of the Conversation with God (CwG) series.
His first three books in the CwG series are meant to be a trilogy. The progression is as follow:
- Book 1: Individual Truths
- Book 2: Global Truths
- Book 3: Universal Truths
Later, he wrote other books in a similar format and they tackle different topics such as developing a friendship with God, death, and questions that teens might have.
His books can be somewhat controversial to some people because it’s so mind-blowing. However, the author doesn’t claim that what he wrote is the Ultimate Truth. Instead, as a reader, you are encouraged to consult your own inner knowing and intuition, and start your own conversations with God.
