| Home with God : In a Life That Never Ends | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
An uplifting masterwork of comfort and compassion exploring the ultimate questions of existence and transcendence. Nothing has riveted humanity's interest more -- nor has anything been more frightening or awe-inspiring -- than the experience known as death. In Home with God, the final installment of his bestselling Conversations with God series, Neale Donald Walsch asks the questions that everyone has longed to ask and receives the answers readers have all been waiting for. Through his profound and personal dialogue with God, Walsch explores the process by which all human beings must end their days here on Earth and begin their new life in God's Kingdom, to which all eventually return, regardless of their earthly deeds. This astonishing spiritual work offers hope, comfort, and surprising revelations for all humankind.

Neale Donald Walsh has written many books and I believe them all to be very helpful in finding one's own truth. This book is another way to see how life and death compliment one another and to release the fear of dying. Hopefully you have been working on understanding reality/life for a while, because if you are looking for answers, this book may create more questions. It is a very deep perception of reality. Remember, we are all born knowing we will die...this book gives a different perspective to how this happens ...or does it? What is your truth?

Having read all of the other Conversations with God, Home with God was still as fascinating as the first book in the series. And, having studied Eastern and Western religions as a hobby, I find that there is absolutely nothing to disagree with. The bottom line of religious thought (the mystical revelations) are very much in sync with Walsch's writings. I feel that the material in the book is consistent with my own revelatory experiences.

What a great book. I believe that some people are lead to this book to experience the freedom that alot of us are looking for in this life. It has given me exactly that, freedom, and a sense of knowing that really, all is truely well.

I have enjoyed all the other conversation books. This one however is life changing. You need to be a willing spirit and allow in a point of view and a way of looking at life that you may never have considered before. Stay open and let the information simmer inside you. Some of it will fade away, but I promise you that which is important to you will blossom and give you a sense of peace.

This is a fantasy trip into the real reality of spirit. As such, it provides answers to the questions man has posed throughout all of history.
God's responses to those questions are easy to understand, practical, and inspirational. They not only make sense, they give hope and understanding for all of life's challenges and without judgment, condemnation, or threats. What's truly amazing is the feeling of love that is promoted throughout all chapters...Isn't that Godlike? (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-11-06 03:11:32 EST)

As with all the books I've read to date authored by Neale Donald Walsch, Home with God: In a Life That Never Ends exposes the current illusions of culture in which we exist. This book does so in our tainted and misunderstood perception of death. This "new revelation" uncovers the misconception and brings a peacefulness, previously unknown and unexperienced, to all who have or who currently are dealing with this next wondrous step of life. An elightened healing exists within its very pages.

I am a big fan of CWG so I couldn't wait for this last book in the series to come out. Some of it was over my head and a little hard to read, but I got so much out of it! If you have read his other books you will enjoy this too!

While it is true that for many people, this book will ease their fears about death, it is just as true that this book was written by a man who has no greater knowledge of the hereafter as anyone else. It is merely wishful thinking by one of us error-prone humans, written for the benefit of other error-prone humans.
In order to truly accept death, we must, at long last, finally face and accept what is most likely to be the case--that death is exactly what it purports to be--death, finality, the end of existance. And the total loss of consciousness forever. While I certainly do not claim to have any greater knowledge of death than anyone else who has not experienced it yet, I think it is fair to simply acknowledge what is MOST LIKELY to be true. We experience consciousness through our brain. Once the brain goes, we no longer have consciousness. Death is truly the loss of all consciousness. We no longer will experience any emotion--happiness, sadness, joy, or pain. Perhaps the easiest way to consider what it would be like is to imagine how you felt when World War I ended. What? You weren't even born then? Exactly. The world existed for thousands (millions? Billions?) of years before you were born. What were you doing during all that time? Were you bored? Upset that you didn't exist? Of course not--you simply didn't exist, and didn't have awareness or consiousness. Put in this perspective, in death you merely return to the same state you were in before you were conceived. Why is this such an unacceptable concept for so many people? It shouldn't be. So while this likely scenario doesn't have the happy family reunions and eternal bliss promised by ficitious man-made religions, it DOES have the ring of likelihood, and really isn't such a bad concept once you have time to digest the reality of it. Life is finite and precious. Enjoy every moment of it, and help others to enjoy theirs. Death is final, eternal, and peaceful. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-11-06 03:11:32 EST)

I read Home with God without the benefit of having read Mr. Walsch's previous works and I must say that I recommend it without question. Since I read Home with God I have purchased ALL of Mr. Walsch's previous work and I have enjoyed them all tremendously. Home with God is so special because we all want to know what is beyond our current knowing. I have always felt that my idea of what God would do and be was quite different from what mainstream religions preach. I never could understand how God could hate anything he/she created. Mr. Walsch's God is the God I have always believed in and had faith in and experience daily in my conversations with God. I recommend you take the book slowly and allow it to become a part of you. We are all one people (children of God) and what hurts one of us hurts us all. Reminds me of the phrase "United we stand, divided we fall." Read this book with an open heart and allow yourself to be healed and comforted and reconnected to God like never before. It will positively change your life.
I highly recommend this book to everyone. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-11-04 03:21:23 EST)

Neale Walsh has written several New Age style books on his conversations with God, all of them bestsellers and great in popularity. However, I always get the feeling on reading his works his God is a very wishy-washy one.
The conversations seem to reveal a God who is basically what Walsch would like God to be; God is sort of like a friendly grandpa, all we have to do is take some time off from our day and talk to him. While I would certainly agree God's love is important, his version of God is very hard to believe, as are his 'revelations.' How can we know what Walsch claims to experience really is God? God seems very vague and changeable in Walsch's book, and strangely conducive to our wishes and shallow. While Walsch may stumble on truths, like much New Age material it is very vague, to the point where virtually anything can be said about the realm of spirit, even if they are mutually contradictory. Such a faith is a bit too soft-headed for my liking. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-10-17 05:09:43 EST)

I loved this book as much as I did all the others in the "Conversations with God" series. Although it can be read and understood on its own, its better to read all the others first.
This series is really meant for those who are open minded enough to reach past traditional teachings. And seek out the truths inside themselves. Having grown up Catholic and being a student/explorer of various faiths...I can truly say these books were a "miracle" in my life. Read and study the previous books in the series, and you will get a lot more out of this book!!! (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-10-17 05:09:43 EST)

I have been reading Neale's books since 1997, and my life has changed dramatically. I have a greater understanding of how to manipulate energy into working for me and how to allow the universe to experience itself physically through me. Neale's books are a definitive gateway to the most advanced evolution, just try them and see. There are many ways to enlightenment, and this is one of the best. The book will entertain you from cover to cover. Thank you Neale for giving me back to myself.

As I am writing this, I think it supposed to be a book review, not a religion debate. There's no "right" or "wrong". There's only what you've believed and what you've been taught to believe years after years.
The greatness about this book is that it makes me THINK. Lots of questions in the book are questions that I have been wanting to ask for very long time, yet haven't got the courage to ask or was afraid to hear the answers that I might hear. I used to think "Who really am I?" is the dumbest and stupidest question of all. After reading this book, I think about it from a whole new perspective. This reading made me think and want to find my soul and re-connect with it. Life never seemed so meaningful to me now. Of cause, this is ONLY how I feel after all. It has nothing to do with how you will feel during or after you read this book. You don't have to agree or disagree with it unless you wanted to. But pick up the book. It is a good read and the book is very well written. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-09-18 03:01:12 EST)

Conversations with God Books 1,2,3 and Friendship with God, were astounding enough, groundbreaking, original, but some of Neale's other books I found somewhat repetative, but perhaps they needed to be to keep the message going, but I was still yearning for the natural successor to the scientific and spiritual wowness of book 3. Home with God is it, this is the truly mind blowing book to the whole experience of crossing over from one dimension to another, what we call 'death'; But with the amount of psychic experience and links I have had with my 'departed' family, it has become very clear that 'death' doesn't happen, it doesn't even reigister on the radar. We simply change into another form, another body or shell/cloak if we wish, and we go on as before. Home with God is the highest level of writing I have ever read, which is clear and unlike the others I raced through with excitement this one, needs your full attention, it is truly new material, and you will need at least five reads for it to sink in, but you must buy it. It is truly magnificent, it is home.

Well, to be honest, my comments are not based on actually having read the book, but on excerpts and editorial comments about it. If you really want to know where you are going after you die (or other spirituals matters), go to the real source, read the Bible!Why do you want to find answers for something so fundamentally important (such as your or other's eternal destiny) from someone's misguided opinion? I think that Mr. Walsch's writings, while superficially comforting, are very misleading and you would be better served and do some real research into who God really is and what he really thinks, and that is only found in the Bible. There's too much at stake for you to take his words without further consideration.

This is such an inspirational book. In it, Neale Walsch converses with God one final time and explores the topic of death. Without going into the dialogue, which really must be experienced through reading it, what I felt as a result of reading this book is an immense sense of knowing. A sort of "ah-ha", that this feels right. Such a fitting and beautiful book to end the CWG series. Thank you Neale and thank you God for such a beautiful message. If you have lost a loved one or are questioning what happens on the "other side of the curtain", this book is a must read.

This is a wonderful fitting end book for a awe-inspiring series of conversations/books. In the final book, God filtered through Neale, leads us through what the world really needs right now. Right from book one when God described how really we should view the 10 commandments to His explaining how death in this realm effects us (we never really die we just move on/back/sideways/forward/circular or any way we feel)I found myself saying yes yes yes!!! I always felt that religion was missing what God really expected of us (nothing/everything). I am at peace and in love with where I am at. Thank you God! I love you!

Definitely the right content to close off the CWG series, with amazing perspective on the meaning of death, dying, and its relation to life itself.
It will give the reader a 'good' feeling about what will happen when the time is there for him/her self. Something like the message in the books of Elisabeth Kuebler-Ross, but there's more in this book. The explanation using the principles of Quantum mechanics - and all this coming from God Himself - really an eye opener. L. Lugita (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-07-13 02:03:07 EST)

As always, this conversation is nothing but miraculous. I have enjoyed and absorved every word and every thought in this book. My inner wisdom understands these words ring true inside the core of my being and they have helped in the remembrance of who I am and what I am creating now and forever more. I am elevated to understand the experience of death and how it is truly a re-birth rather than something to be feared. I know you will enjoy this book and the grace it brings into your life.

Listening in on the conversation between the author, Neale and God provides a clear, easy to understand discussion which reshapes the very foundation of conventional reality for the reader. These discussions are well structured by building a tree of connected rememberances. This book has the power to change the world as we currently know it!

This book really resonated with me. It is done with such love and makes such sense that I read it twice and will keep it as a reference. I ordered a second copy to lend out since I don't want to let go of my copy. I also ordered one for my son for his 45th birthday.

Home with God brings a great understanding about where we are, where we're headed and how to get there even now while in our life.
There are wonderful examples and explanations about how we create our existence on the other side, just like on this side here on earth. Home With God is a great book. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-07-10 20:52:09 EST)

Many detailed reviews have already been written on this amazing book, so I'll be brief. This is as much as we can know and understand about the physical "death" process and what comes after, without actually being "there". As our thoughts and beliefs about death affect our experience of it, this is valuable information. It's time to let go of our fear, and to understand that birth and death are the same. There's also some great information on how we create our lives and experiences, both physical & non-physical, wondrously and multi-dimensionally.

In the past years, I have been reading a lot about "death" and I read this book thinking that it was going to help clarify some of the questions (of the many) I have. In turn, it left me more confused. First, the whole issue of credibility concerning the author actually "speaking" with God; second, all the theories concerning what happens after our heartbeat stops... My question is: how does the author know about what happens at the time of one's death and after? HOW?
It might be my lack of faith in some higher divine creature or concept, but I remain convinced that death is merely the return to the same state you were before you were conceived, period. I do however have the hope that my thinking will change. I want to believe in something different, but so far I only have what my perception and physical senses allow me to comprehend. I wonder how far I will go if I sit down and write a book stating that the only thing we will encounter at the time of death is the NOTHINGNESS, and I claim "God told me so." For that reason, I now even more regard life as the "one golden opportunity", the moment is here and now, because once this is over, I will be exactly in the same place I was before I was conceived: nowhere.

I don't want to rehash what's been said above but I do agree with most of it. What I want to add is that the book says as much about living as it does about dying! In my case, I was going through an experience where I felt the victim of a life situation and 2 people I love dearly were the villains. Beginning on page 41 "God" says:
".....there are no victims and no villains." Me=?????? "He" goes on to talk about perspective creating perception and in the next 8 pages I went from feeling the victim to feeling blessed and the feeling has lasted, my life is changed. If the book changed my life for the better it might change yours also?? Thanks Mr. Walsch. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-07-10 20:52:09 EST)

When I picked up my first "Conversation's With God" experience (Book 1), I had no way of knowing that my life would be changed forever. Seven years later, not only have I been blessed through the books in the CWG Series that have followed, I have also re-read 'Book 1' at the start of each new year so that I can re-member how to make the most of my life, each day that I live it.
This final book in the CWG Series, "Home With God," is equally as important, inspiring, comforting, empowering, and life-improving as the books that preceded it. The others empowered me to live, and for the first time in my life, I feel empowered to die. Not right now--unless that is what is meant to be--but I no longer fear, nor resist, death. Please, read this book, you will be so happy and at peace by your choice to do so. Then read the first in the CWG Series, Conversation's With God, Book 1, and be ready to take the life you have created for yourself to another level, and then another, and another... Amen.

This book, "Home with God" by Neale Donald Walsch, is truly a Gift from yourSELF to yourself; a remarkable journey to the Moment of `Only NOW' that holds ALL There IS. It's a beautifully orchestrated tool of remembrance [as Neale writes] and not really a teaching at all. Your Soul will remember and resonate with its eternal Truths as it opens to them, like a thousand pedaled lotus opening to the Core of ITS BEING, Our BEING. My husband and I believe that there is Ultimate Reality, beyond the Space/Time continuum, and that when one of us leaves their physical body, in `no time at all', the other will be there in re-Union. This is a quote from "Home with God" that resonates with us so perfectly:
"Such is the wonder of the ultimate Reality that, though it may be experienced as a long while for those who remain living in physicality within the illusion of time, it will be in your own Moment of Now that you will be reunited." Pg 300 If you are reading these words, your Soul has invited you to read this book. Do it now. Accept the gift and then BE the Gift. Love is truly all there IS. I-Love-You <- All are ONE.

Home With God contains leading-edge (and sometimes challenging) concepts about what happens when we die of our physical form. For those who yearn to learn more about what happens when we die, you'll find a very clear description of that . . . as well as the purpose of life and what happens between lives. I especially found intriguing the concept that we can incarnate as the same "person" many times (reliving the same "life" several or many times over), but making different decisions during each lifetime. If you resonate with other CWG books, Home With God will be thoroughly satisfying. The author is not out to convince anyone that this is the only Truth -- as you read it you'll definitely know if it's Truth for you.

WOW - I had no idea when I purchased this book that it would be so packed with intense, mind-expanding, soul touching information - it's hard to find the words to describe how I've felt while reading "Home With God" - it's truly amazing! There are ideas/concepts about metaphysics, physics, life, "death", life after "death", time, "parallel universes", we as creators of our own experiences, the impact of our thoughts, words, and deeds, and much, much more!
There is so much information, that I'm not quite sure where to begin... Let me give it a try. I feel like there are several "major" themes, and many "minor" themes within "Home With God". Here are just a few: *We don't have to go anywhere to be with God - we are ALREADY with God, and God is ALREADY with us!!! So, we can experience that amazing "feeling" of being in union with God RIGHT NOW - we don't have to wait until we "cross over" to enjoy this type of experience. Once we understand that, that God is already with us, and we are already with God - all day, every day - the "fear" we may have about this meeting starts to dissipate. *We create what we experience, both while in the "physical", and in the "spiritual" realms - so, if we're not happy with the life/death we are experiencing, what we need to do is take the time/effort to change our thoughts/ideas/perceptions, and what we're focusing on - this will then change our experience. *There is no "death" as we define it, it's just a different way of experiencing ourselves & what is around us *There are 3 stages after we leave our physical bodies, and each person will experience them differently based on their beliefs and expectations - but, in the end, everyone will "move on" to "Heaven", to begin experiencing/learning what their soul wants to until it decides to begin another lifetime. *We live physical lives to experience who we really are There is so much more that I could add, but I don't want this review to turn into a book itself (smile). Suffice it to say that if you are at all interested in the "themes" above, I would HIGHLY recommend this book. One word of caution though, an open mind is a must. One more thing... I read "Home With God" once all the way through, and began realizing quite early on that this is one of those books that I'll need to read several times through to REALLY get the most out of it - you may want to do the same thing...

Top Drawer! I have read all of the Conversations books. I have always maintained that Book 1 was the penultimate of this entire series...every other book up to this one, has just been commentary. Now, here we are, at the end of this magnificent series, and I say BRAVO! Neale and God, in their co-creation of these books, has finally put into place a book equally worthy to Book 1. In essence, we have the Alpha and the Omega. I have read a lot of channeled "Dialogue" style books...as a matter of fact, I have spent a great many years searching for every one that I can find, and in having read many other books from people who have passed on, to books written by those on the other side, to NDE experiences...I have never read a book until this one, which was so clear and concise, so crystal perfect in it's statement, about the purpose of IT ALL...Yet, there were glimpses, even in book 1 of things to come. If you do not believe me, go back now my friends, and re-read it with hindsight. There is much in Book 1 thathas been restated over and over again in all the others...but this one, THIS "ONE" is finally the most eloquent. In Neal Donald's typical fashion, his ability to speak planely, in words we all could understand...his ability to connect with you and I...in the face of the most profound concepts...I believe, was the reason and remains the reason why Neale was selected to be the One of us, who transmitted all this wonderful information to Us all. In sitting down and thinking about what I just read, a fantastic idea came to me, that it wasn't EVER really, a two way conversation between just Neale and God, it was always a THREE Way conversation, between the reader, Neale and God. Thus what we have been experiencing here is a Trinity, most appropo in its beginning and ending. I am deeply going to miss the "next" dialogue which will not take place between the three of us again. I have waited patiently, but persistently, for every book in the series...now come to a startling and wholey succinct end...but the revelation that has poured into my mind is just this: The conversation NEVER ends! Haven't we all learned? The conversation will NEVER end. Neale has ended the three way dialogue, and now, it is up to all of us, to use the tools we have been given so that we each can have our OWN personal Conversation with God. If we have even learned a single thing from all the books, it is just this: We are ONE!We are Inseperable. The conversation never ends! Let us all have our own, personal, deeply loving conversation. There is no one more important than any other and all are of equal importance. Bravo Neale! Outstanding! Decisive! Thank You!

This has got to be the most awesome book ever written on the subject of the "hereafter". It's loaded with descriptive metaphors brilliantly used to enhance the subject with the most breathtaking clarity. I highly recommend this book for anyone open minded enough to receive the information contained within and give it serious consideration as to its relavence in their life. I loved it!!!!!!!

What a wonderful book this is! Showing how life lives on, love lives on, and we can always be certain that we both take with us, and leave behind, every good deed that lives in the hearts of those we love. This is just a beautiful book, and one to remember!

When I was 14 years old, I had what is called a "spontaneous mystical experience," which put me in direct contact with the eternality of my soul. I have never forgotten that experience, and what it taught me about "death" -- the fact that there is no real death. We are, in every sense of the word, eternal beings. Ever since that experience, I have tried to put it into words, and many authors have helped me do just that. But this last addition to the Conversations With God series is, by far, the most detailed and eloquent expression of what it means to live eternally. Thank you, Neale, for helping us understand more about the meaning of life, by understanding more about the meaning, and purpose, of "death."

I believe that all who read this book will have a different outlook on life and death and the process of both. This book gives us the description of the journeys thru death and then gives us an idea of where we go, who we see, what awaits us...it is our design much like all else of life. It will take you on several journeys that we will all go through and the "why" of our choices to do so. It is "the" most unexpected information and I was brought to tears and then to deep reflection that lasted days after reading the information. I was so enthralled in the book and what it was telling me that I spent 3 days not doing much else but reading and contemplating what I was learning. Some of it IS hard to believe, (though I find that I definately can!) just as the reader is warned, but I found it ALL to be what I would desire, and partially what I had dreamed that it would be. This is eye opening, it will cause the heart to strain at what is learned and it is without a doubt most hopeful. I enjoyed it throughly, learned some new "ways of living" and read information that affirmed what is my path presently. I suggest it to all who are ready for the abstract but well explained information on Death and Living and Death and Living.....

The reviews here are essentially: "I loved it", or "What kind of drugs are you on?", with a few, "hey, it's not the Bible!" thrown in for good measure.
As the authors (I'll give Neale the benefit of the doubt, not that it really matters) are simply trying to help us all make sense of the unknown. Religions have been doing this for millenium, but how many religions have updated their doctines to keep up with new information? None. So people get fed up and decide to find the answers for themselves. The beautiful thing about the whole series is that it is internally very consistent, sort of a light version of "A Course in Miracles" (and a LOT easier to read). This last book actually does a nice job of bridging some of the differences between the two. It all comes down to what you want to believe. Actually, this is basically the message of the entire series: "if there is a God, and he created us like Himself, then we too would be God, and could do/have whatever we want". The problem is that our previously imprinted beliefs are so strong that we limit ourselves because we don't even really understand the concept of desire and how it manifests itself in our lives. If you read this book, what you will get out of it depends on: (a) how open your mind is; and (b) how much you want to believe the material. If you have (a) but not (b), you'll probably find it thought provoking. If you have (b) but not (a), you'll probably find it blasphemous. If you have neither, don't bother reading it. If you have both, you will find the experience truly uplifting - and may possibly never be the same (in a very good way!). (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-05-29 04:41:34 EST)

"What would happen if I died today?"
I know we all have asked this question to ourselves, many, many times. The fact is that understanding Death helps me in a big way to understand Life! I have come to a short way of explaining this: "The way you feel about Death is the way you Feel about Life." That is, if you fear death you fear life. If you understand death you understand life, etc. I have had the chance to thank Neale in person for the powerfull inspiration he had given me in my life with his books. I thank him again in writing and in public because I now understand better than ever the intricances of Death and the wornderfull gift it is to be Alive and well. We are all one! Nothing we do is either right or wrong. The reason for everything is to BEcome what we Choose to Be. I personally love at page 115 where GOD explains the "100 Word Formula for All of Life": Hope, Believe, Know, Create, Experience, Express, and Become. Thanks Neale for this wonderfull gift of Love. Humanity appreciates your work VERY MUCH. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-05-26 04:54:35 EST)

In this lifetime I have had the chance to feel really, really bad about my circumstances. In the midst of sadness and depression it comes to mind the dreadful question: What would happen if I died today?
Like if this would solve any problem! The fact is that understanding Death helps me in a big way to understand Life! I have come to a short way of explaining this: "The way you feel about Death is the way you Feel about Life." That is, if you fear death you fear life. If you understand death you understand life, etc. I have had the chance to thank Neale in person for the powerfull inspiration he had given me in my life with his books.

First of all, I love the controversy on here. I think it's great to have a lively debate on perhaps the biggest question of all time (Is there life after death?)
I would like to say, also, that this book is hard to rate. Mostly, because I can see how different groups of people would have widely different points of view on this book. I gave this book a 5-star rating, because, I believe that FOR IT'S PRIMARY AUDIENCE (people who like Neale's books) this is very much an excellent book. I would say that this book is really "written for the fans" of this series. It is a great end to the Neale Donald Walsch series. It should not be the first book that a new reader of the series reads, because the concepts are truly out of this world. It contains mind-bending and mind-blowing revelations that are wild and unbelievable even to those already familiar with Neale's books (therefore, it is NOT simply all old material from Neale's other books restated -- it is stuff you've never heard before). I just want to say that if you find Neale's concept of death and the afterlife to be true for you, you will DEFINATLEY have a completely new view of death, no matter how familiar you are with the Conversations With God series. There is a revelation towards the end of the book, called the "Holy Inquiry," that will blow you away. Neale also provided visual illustrations to help people grasp difficult concepts such as "time is an illusion" and parallel universes. From a simple visual illustration that the book tells you to imagine, I understand this concept of space and time much better than ever before. And Neale has many stories of "real life examples" of death that may bring a tear to your eye. There is a lot of detail on the stages of death and specifically what happens at each stage. The tone is very warm and comforting. FOR THE AGNOSTIC, this is a one-star book. The reason for this is that this book simply describes the process of death and the afterlife, but does not really argue for the existence of an afterlife. I was surprised, because I really thought that it would. I realize that Neale says his mission is not to convert everybody, but simply to allow them to find their truth. But how can you do this if you simply write your truth about death? I believe it could have been written in a different way that would make it be at least a 3-4 star book for agnostics! I'm not saying that it could have been better, I'm just saying that I would have written it differently to appeal more to my agnostic friends...... Throughout Neale's books, there have been many passages that had such a philosophical ring of truth, that after reading it, I felt a "high". The first 100 pages make so much sense that even my atheist friend who borrowed the book ended up saying "well... maybe" after reading it. Communion with God provides a detailed, 10-step argument for the unity of all life (describing the "10 illusions of humans" and why they are just illusions). If this book, "Home With God," argued for the afterlife using the argument from some of Neale's first books, it would have appealed to a wider audience. In conclusion, this book is fantastic for fans of Neale's work, but may not satisfy the agnostic. For the first time reader of Neale's work, read Conversations with God, Book 1, or Communion with God. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-05-24 04:11:53 EST)

I have been working on my enlightenment for 3 years now. I read practically anything I get my hands on. I have had some trying experiences in my life, within this incarnation. I realized that I wrote a very difficult chart, to experience what my soul decided on, before I was born. Having to deal with coming out of a 2 year prison term and dealing with the enormous ignorance that is around me, this has made me wonder... IF I can deal with staying around? And yes, I have tried suicide once and I was wondering if...
I read an explanation from God about suicide. Chapter 10 (pgs. 59-62) covers it very well. "Two conditions classify a death as suicide. 1) You must be consciously aware what you are doing and 2) the purpose is of escaping your current life, rather than completing it." Then God goes on to say that if these conditions are met, and you cross over, you would have to start your chart over at the beginning, in your next life. Not where you left off. Personally, ONCE is enough for me, in this particular chart! I Have lived many lives. Two I can remember. This life seems to be one of my most challenging incarnations. "We must achieve what we set out to do." It's like a video game. You can not make it to the next level, until you complete the level you are currently on. For the last several years, I have longed to go home (Heaven). Now, I know that I am always home whereever/whenever and however I am. And that God is ALWAYS with me, at every moment. I am never alone! I find this book, and ALL of Mr. Walsch's books a GIFT! I don't care about what other people think of me. They live their truth and I have Ultimate Reality. Ultimate Reality is the only truth that is important to me, because it explains my reality. I am learning how I can see from a much larger point of view than most. Even psychically! YES! It's happened to me!! I am starting to see and FEEL psychically. I send blessings out to those who can see past their Earthly Illusion... The ones who have or are currently "waking up!" I also send larger blessings out to those who, are unable nor willing to have the desire, to see outside of the box. For those who wish to end their life and return home, PLEASE read this book. Then BELIEVE! Then read the book again! Many Thanks Neale! Job well done! (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-05-16 04:28:20 EST)

I read all kinds of "spiritual" books in my life, and found out that any kinds of books that help uplift people's consciousness was not written for nothing. ---> If you like "Home with God..." you will truly enjoy two treasures I found over the years: 1) Past Lives, Dreams, and Soul Travel, by Harold Klemp, and 2) Journey of Souls, by Michael Newton.
Those two books alone will take you "further" than any other about you, as Soul, and about "Death and the afterlife". Both of these authors are true spiritual seekers in their own field. As such, I am also a "apiritual seeker", and I PROVED to myself that there is life beyond the process we call death. But, hey! what's the use of trying to tell you my stories, why don't you instead try to prove it to yourself! That quest is a whole lot more fun than reading it in a book! Answers are in my first suggestion! Have a nice life... (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-05-24 04:11:53 EST)

Looking back over the 69 years of my life, my experiences with communication from the "other side" are validated by Neale's book. The fact that his writings came from spirit is very credible to me. Believe what you read and you will never fear death.
My mother and father were spiritualist mediums who met in Lily Dale, NY. Two months after I was born, their marriage fell apart. The day after my 6th birthday, my destitute mother took me to a Lutheran orphanage where I spent 11.5 years learning the bible. Mom visited me once a week and I got to know her spirit guide, White Eagle, who would speak to me through her in a whisper voice. He called me his boy. It was normal for this little boy to be taught the bible and talk to a "dead" Indian. During engineering school and a stint as a Naval Aviator, I received several messages from the "spirit world" from mom that were "dead on". Was excited that Paul in 1Corinthians 14 said prophecy was the preferred spiritual gift. He even used spirits vs. Spirit when he said the spirits of the prophets were subject to the prophets (vs.32). Later versions of the bible changed that chapter to fit the religious beliefs of the translators. But, I had living proof of spirit communication. Dad died alone in Florida at age 75. They found his body five days later. Too late for a funeral. Heart attack or stroke, couldn't tell. Saw him only six times in my life. When my wife and I got back from getting his things, I asked mom if there was any kind of church where mediums worked. With no car and working six nights a week, Wednesday off, she hadn't been to the spiritualist church she knew about. We all went for the first time. Of course dad came through with five definite proofs that would have convicted O.J. The most memorable thing he said is that he asked for my forgiveness. The life traps from eleven years in the orphanage had already begun to hurt me. Dad's spirit came through an unfamiliar medium to us, absolutely no doubt in my mind. Mom died in my arms 13 years later at age 80, cardiac arrest in the hospital just at the end of visiting hours when all of her earthly loved ones had left except her two grandchildren and me. She died a wonderful death. I gave the eulogy recounting the sacrifices she made so I would be well taken care of. Arriving home after the cemetery, my wife called Hazel, a medium, one of many at the service, to thank her for the nice words she had said. Immediately, Hazel went into trance and my mother was on the other end of the line. My wife said my mother was on the phone and handed it to me. I said "Hello Hazel" but the voice said "I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm younger than I used to be." It was mom speaking in the faint voice White Eagle would use. When I retired from a successful insurance career, I took a two year course at Lily Dale and became a medium. After giving several very credible messages from spirit, I was satisfied, personally, of spirit communication. Many books later, I came upon Walsch's first book. Having had a lifetime of proof of spirit communication, I soaked up the whole series. The final book would be familiar to any spiritualist but the details of what happens following death are far more credible and revealing than any of the previous such books. Believe what you read, its true. At least, take the best and leave the rest. If the information seems unbelievable to you, check the scale against which you are comparing it. Is your scale credible or did you just accept it as true? IS it hard to believe that we are the creator? My Lutheran confirmation verse was Matthew 7:7- "Ask and it, etc." Isn't that creating? You will definitely enjoy the book, now or later. Buy it new. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-05-03 04:14:34 EST)
