Neale Donald Walsch is the famous author of the Conversations With God series. Neale was raised Catholic but eventually became disillusioned with theology and gave his life to working for a radio station. Eventually things all went downhill and Neale was in a deep state of despair. One night, out of frustration and anguish, Neale scribbled a note to God, asking, "What does it take to make life work?" To Neale's amazement a soft and loving voice responded back to him. Quickly he wrote down what he was receiving. That same night, Neale asked many questions on paper and received answers to all of them. On several other occasions Neale would wake up in the night and begin to write down questions to which he would receive instant answers. These questions and answers were later formulated into the Conversations With God series.

Neale considers himself a modern day spiritual messenger. The messages he channeled, he believes, are direct transmissions from God. Neale has started the Conversations With God Foundation to spread these teachings all over the globe. Here are some examples of the answers to Neale's questions given by God:

"So go ahead now. Ask Me anything. Anything. I will contrive to bring you the answer. The whole universe will I use to do this. So be on the lookout. This book is far from My only tool. You may ask a question, then put this book down. But watch. Listen. The words to the next song you hear. The information in the next article you read. The story line of the next movie you watch. The chance utterance of the next person you meet. Or the whisper of the next river, the next ocean, the next breeze that caresses your ear, all these devices are Mine; all these avenues are open to Me. I will speak to you if you will listen. I will come to you if you will invite Me. I will show you then that I have always been there. All ways."

"The world is in the condition it is in because of you, and the choices you have made, or failed to make. (Not to decide is to decide.) Your own life is the way it is because of you, and the choices you have made, or failed to make."

"I will not leave you, I cannot leave you, for you are My creation and My product, My daughter and My son, My purpose and My... Self. Call on Me, therefore, wherever and whenever you are separate from the peace that I am. I will be there. With Truth. And Light. And Love."
