Neale Donald Walsch has changed the way millions of Americans think about God. His Conversations with God series, book 1, book 2, and book 3, have all been New York Times bestsellers--book 1 for over two years. The essence of Neale Donald Walsch's message lies at the heart of faith--the sacred place in every person, where he stands alone with his God. Walsch urges each of us to forge our own unique relationship with God, a God who is everywhere and speaks to us in all we do. It is up to us to stop and listen. It is up to us to respond . . . to begin the conversation. And a conversation is the first step, just as in any relationship, in establishing trust, in building friendship, in creating communion. In Friendship with God, Neale Donald Walsch shares the next part of his journey, and leads us to deepen and strengthen our own bonds with God. He honors our heart's desire: a closer connection, richer and fuller. A friendship with God.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Neale Donald Walsch grew up fearing God, especially after his mother, a neighborhood mystic, was caught reading cards for a friend. His mother was "trafficking with the devil," according to Walsch's deeply religious aunt, and as a result, "God will send her straight to hell."

That was the start of a relationship born of "fearship," as Walsch calls it. In Friendship with God, Walsh speaks to the struggles he's had learning to see God as a true friend rather than a punishing judge. Like his immensely popular Conversations with God series, Friendship with God is written mostly in dialogue format, modeling how anyone can converse with God. What makes the book especially accessible is Walsh's humble voice that gently addresses most people's confusion and doubts. For example, Walsh talks about feeling squeamish that God knows the shameful secrets of his life. In response, God points out that Walsh has shared his dark secrets with friends and lovers. So why not share these truths with God, who has never judged or punished him, and never will? These types of tender and reassuring conversations give readers the courage to begin their own private dialogues with the divine. --Gail Hudson

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

NEALE DONALD WALSCH is a modern day spiritual messenger whose words continue to touch the world in profound ways. With an early interest in religion and a deeply felt connection to spirituality, Neale spent the majority of his life thriving professionally, yet searching for spiritual meaning before experiencing his now famous conversation with God. The "Conversations with God" series of books that emerged from those encounters has been translated into 37 languages, touching millions and inspiring important changes in their day-to-day lives.

"Conversations with God" has redefined God and shifted spiritual paradigms around the globe. In order to deal with the enormous response to his writings, Neale has created several outreach projects, including the CWG Foundation, CWG for Parents, Humanity’s Team, the CWG Helping Outreach, and The Global Conversation --- all accessible at the “hub” website CWGPortal.com, and all dedicated to help the world move from violence to peace, from confusion to clarity, and from anger to love.

Neale's work has taken him from the steps of Macchu Picchu in Peru to the steps of the Shinto shrines of Japan, from Red Square in Moscow to St. Peters Square in Vatican City to Tiananmen Square in China. And everywhere he has gone --- from South Africa to Norway, Croatia to The Netherlands, the streets of Zurich to the streets of Seoul --- Neale has experienced a hunger among the people to find a new way to live, at last, in peace and harmony, and he has sought to bring people a new understanding of life and of God which would allow them to experience that.

He lives with his wife, the American poet Em Claire, in Oregon. Find out more at NealeDonaldWalsch.com.

Theology For the Person On the Street

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

I am a retired clergy who somehow missed "Friendship" when it first came out, having read the trilogy "Conversations (books 1-3)" and "Companionship (book 5)". I was delighted to discover and read this segment in the series. The dialogue format is easily read and holds many deep and profound insights, which the average person can grasp. It does not slip into philosophically speculative theology. From the beginning it is grounded in experience. Walsh gives us many autobiographical sketches that help us see the roots of his insights. This will turn off someone who is rigidly fundamentalist "anything," and it will appeal most to the "spiritual but not religious" folk who are searching for some way to articulate the deep driving "knowing" that has made them critics of established religion and yet left them longing for someone to express the unseen, driving energy of the universe. Walsh knows that "God" is not some entity out there, somewhere but within all that is, and he tells us he is using the dialogue motif to help bridge between transcendent theology to imminent theology. It all boils down to accepting the fact that Love is the driving energy of the universe and is what we really are (God in us), even though we are often ignorant or in denial of that and do ourselves and each other great disservice and harm in the process. I have used and encouraged clergy colleagues to read Walsh to help make their preaching "real." This book is no exception, but it is not just for the professionally religious but all who remain life-long seekers of truth.

I have read this book a few times. It is a great book for teaching you to create a friendship with God rather then a one sided relationship where we just talk to or at Him. It is so simple, but so unconventional that it is hard to put this book down. I read the Conversations with God series before reading this and I would recomend that you do the same, though not necessary. This book gives the author some time to talk about his own life, but all the while God is talking about the steps we need to take to create a real friendship with Him. I now use this book as a pick me up, I can just open it at any page and find that the message is exactly what I needed to remind myself about to improve my day. This book is deep and very spiritual. A great addition the the library of anyone on a spiritual path.

Presumptious Title Bears Intriguing Fruit

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2011

Verified Purchase

I decided to purchase FWG after deliberately avoiding the Conversation With God series for many years. I stumbled into another review somewhere that said FWG was a good compilation and extension of Neale's previous writings so I finally "bit". My religious inclinations are broad, to say the least, but any skepticism I had about Neale being a legitimate channel to the Divine gradually faded away into irrelevance. There's a lot to ponder in FWG and as I approach the final chapters, I think it would be time well spent to immediately read it again. Many bracket marks along the margins (in pencil... I don't use highlighters much anymore) convince me that he didn't somehow conjure up the paradoxical but interconnected concepts. In fact, bravely transcribing paradoxical notions seems to be a sign of Truth Ahead for seekers of all persuasions. Neale's biographical hardships and confessions along the way make his authorship just that much more bodacious.

I think now (Aug 2012) that Neale is actually tapping into his higher self but not "God" per se.

God is Your Friend

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

It was an eye opener on spirituality versus religion. Many people have a hard time with picking a religion or joining a church. God is with us everywhere so we can always join in a conversation with him and tell him how we feel. We can thank God also for the good he has done for us. It is up to each of us to decide how much we want God to be in our lives. It was an easy book to follow with many good questions asked and answered by God.
