Review of Conversations with God (2006) by Ruthw. — 27 Oct 2006

Neal Donald Walsch truly is the Mary Baker Eddy of his day! You can't blame the guy for trying (and succeeding) at creating his own religion. After all, "Mother Mary" (Baker Eddy), and Joseph Smith with his lieutenant, Brigham Young created the mold from which Neal Donald has extracted his own image---that of simple Savior to the masses! In this age of aggrevated annoyances in daily life and spiritual platitudes from the pulpit, a nice quiet conversation with God seems innocent enough, though I believe it is sometimes called a "mental illness" when the preoccupation gets to the level perpetrated by Mr.

Walsch. As Walsch scribbles away with religious fervor, one certainly does not hear the truth with the same impact as if God were speaking from a burning bush. Re-acquainting oneself with the power contained within Old Testament might be more edifying than this movie.
