"What God Wants" addresses humanity's most important question. For centuries we have been trying to determine what exactly it is that puts us in good standing with God, earning us a place in God's kingdom after our death, bringing us a good life while here on earth. Now, in a startlingly clear, direct and simple text, Neale Donald Walsch asks: What if God wanted nothing at all from us? What if God were not a separate being who demanded obedience and supplication, because God was everything and everything was God? The knowledge that we were all a part of God would set us all free from the fear of having to please God. Instead of worrying about an afterlife, we could embrace and rejoice in our time in the here and now. Rather than treating our loved ones one way and disregarding others, we would think of all of our fellow humans - all over the world - as family, with love and compassion. In his usual voice of clarity and simplicity, Neale Donald Walsch presents us with this astonishing message of freedom and responsibility, and presents the answer to humanity's oldest question that fits all religions and, ultimately, transcends them.

5.0 out of 5 stars
a courageous acknowledgement of who we really are,
By Izzy (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What God Wants: A Compelling Answer to Humanity's Biggest Question (Paperback)
As an integral part of the "all that is", I have the power to transcend the behaviors driven by the reptilian and mammalian brains to create my experience and resulting reality, consciously and by choice "Think only what you choose to experience Say only what you choose to make real Do only what you choose to demonstrate as your highest reality" one of many useful insights from "What God Wants" which refresh material which may have been previously learned and integrated, but can never be heard enough. This book is particularly useful to disentangle the reader from polarized religious thinking by means of a heartfelt appeal to our rationality, while still honoring the value of faith traditions to our spiritual development. For these and all other audiences I highly recommend it! I encourage you to get the audio book as the option to simply listen with closed eyes in a meditative state can be a welcome alternative to reading, and Neale's expressive voice adds an emotional dimension to the work. Based on Neale's explicit references throughout this book, I've ordered related material from the following authors which will serve to deepen the hues of Neale Donald Walsch's painting, in our relationship to our experience of "now", and our power to manifest reality through intent Jerry & Esther Hicks and Abraham Eckhart Tolle Byron Katie In Neale's work I'm next on to Tomorrow's God: Our Greatest Spiritual Challenge Jalaluddin Rumi, perhaps the most revered of Sufi mystics, offered this advice: God has given us a dark wine so potent that, drinking it, we leave the two worlds. God has put into the form of hashish a power to deliver the taster from self-consciousness. God has made sleep so that it erases every thought. God made Majnun love Layla so much that just her dog would cause confusion in him. There are thousands of wines that can take over our minds. Don't think all ecstasies are the same! Jesus was lost in his love for God. His donkey was drunk with barley. Drink from the presence of saints, not from those other jars. Every object, every being, is a jar full of delight. Be a connoisseur, and taste with caution. Any wine will get you high. Judge like a king, and choose the purest, the ones unadulterated with fear, or some urgency about "what's needed." Drink the wine that moves you as a camel moves when it's been untied, and is just ambling about. --- Coleman Barks One-Handed Basket Weaving Maypop, October 1992 (Based on Nicholson's translation of the Mathnawi, IV, 2683-2696.) I think you'll find that the contents of Neale's "jar" fits the bill for quality

Don't waste your money,

This review is from: What God Wants: A Compelling Answer to Humanity's Biggest Question (Paperback)
Not only is the author so way off base with this book, he has the nerve to make money on it. He takes the worst of our human exisitance and blames GOD. It is total junk. If you really want to know what God wants, read the Bible and talk to a Pastor, know the 10 commandments. Unconditional love, as difficult as that is as a human...THATS WHAT GOD WANTS.
