The author of the Conversations with God series writes another "dialogue" between two voices on the subject of who God is and how the human understanding of God makes a difference in choices and behavior. Walsch writes candidly that "very little here cannot be found, cumulatively, in the sacred writings of all the world's wisdom traditions," as he retells the life story of the Buddha and insists on the divinity of Jesus Christ. Yet, he continues, in much the same way a more traditional theologian would, humans "have not been listening." His objection is to a God made in the image of humanity that has justified violence and exclusivity. The alternative he proposes is an immanent process rather than a super being who demands allegiance. For Walsch, this "expanded view" of God and spirituality engenders improvements in human institutions. The second half of the book imagines practical applications based on a utopian world in which this new spirituality reigns. Chapters envision changed relationships, sex, politics and education, and Walsch even speculates about a cash-free future society in which there will be no mandatory taxation. Walsch is consistent in the concerns throughout his dozen-plus books and speaks simply—some would say too simply—about great questions of purpose, peace and happiness that haunt humanity.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Another bold entry by the bestselling author, in which he appears and does quite a creditable job as reader/interpreter of his own work, a rare thing in audiobooks. The supporting cast adds a level of sincerity and gravitas to a text that revisits Walsch's CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD series, this time ex- ploring the apparently imminent transition from a biblical judgmental God to a Supreme Being or Consciousness that is impersonally loving and nonjudgmental. Or has It always been? It takes a lot of confidence to write dialogue for God, and it's delivered with equal bravado. Uplifting and calming, this audiobook is ideal for those with open minds and nondogmatic religious beliefs. D.J.B. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

The Conversations with God guy is back, with more conversations with God. As he cautioned in The New Revelations (2002), so he cautions here: he doesn't have much new to say. Still, "you might find . . . a New You. And a way to create a New World." Half of this book retreads the turf trod in New Revelations, which, you'll recall, had to do with junking the old, judgmental God in favor of the God that really is--a divinity who never asks for anything, doesn't care how you connect with Him, doesn't operate in terms of right and wrong but in terms of what works and what doesn't, communicates all the time, and never damns anyone or lets anybody die. The other half is called "The Fourth Transformation," and God assures us it's inevitable. He points up in boldface what this transformation will bring, such as "your presently established religions will stop fighting with each other," and "the idea that politics and spirituality do not mix will be abandoned forever." Hmmm. Isn't that what happens in a perfected Christian or Islamic society, anyway? God/Walsch isn't about to deliquesce into Christianity or Islam, however, for He also bold-facedly predicts, "Your presently established religions will stop declaring that something can exist outside of God." Those who believe that creator and creation are distinct probably should be discouraged from reading even that far. Ray Olson

Library Journal

The author of the "Conversations with God" books focuses here on how the current God needs to be modified and how we should begin to believe in a different variation of Him that is less needy, less punishing to those who do not believe in Him, and is part of all of us. Walsch discusses the differences in this God from the one that is currently held in high regard. He tells how "tomorrow's God" will change the many institutions in our society, from government to schools and educational communities to marriage, and will help us deal with conflict, environmental concerns, discrimination, and the treatment of the world's children. Dialog is provided alternately by Edward Asner and Ellen Burstyn. Asner is perfect in the role of God; his voice is both grandfatherly and bombastic. Burstyn is less successful and doesn't provide the heft that Asner brings to the part. Walsch goes overboard in his reading, which can be quite annoying. He provides some very radical ideas, and listeners will have to review sections to make sure they understand the recommendations. Libraries where the "Conversations with God" series has been popular may wish to purchase this.-Danna Bell-Russel, Library of Congress Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
