Amazon.com Review
In keeping with the first two books in this trilogy, Conversations With God, Book 3 continues to clarify the muddy waters of our spiritual existence, but moves from individual and global issues to "universal truths," which apply to all levels of existence from the microscopic to the macrocosmic. It is difficult to criticize God, but if he is as pleasant as he presents himself in Walsch's books, then he won't mind the paltry mention of a structural problem. A hefty portion of Conversations With God, Book 3 backtracks to topics that were well covered in Book 1, and while a certain amount of recap is good to build on, Walsch's repeated return to these earlier conversations gets a bit frustrating for the reader who is familiar with the earlier books. Minor blemishes aside, Conversations With God, Book 3 explores some of the most fantastic subjects that people are prone to ponder under starry evening skies: What happens when we die? What is time? Are we alone in the universe? Walsch's dialogue with the creator puts these and other imponderables into comprehendible terms. If these revelations are true, and it is ultimately up to us to know them as truths or not, then the universe is a very intriguing place, and we haven't come close to realizing our potential in understanding it. However, the great thing Conversations With God, Book 3 makes clear is that we can understand the universe if we so choose. --Brian Patterson
From Library Journal
Walsch is at a low point in his life when he pours out his heart to GodAa God who has no genderAso well-known performers Ed Asner and Ellen Burstyn fill the void. The theology is New Age, with this particular part of the dialog touching on, among other things, the origin of everything, highly evolved beings, and extraterrestrial civilizations. Walsch asks, argues, and ruminates as Asner and Burstyn answer and explain. Not to sound trite, but in places this was rather entertaining. This particular recording had a very low volume level, and compensation had to be made when listening. Those libraries that have a demand for New Age works should have this recording as well as Books 1 and 2 of the series.AMichael T. Fein, Catawba Valley Community Coll. Hickory, NC

Beware - save your money, buy it used if you must!
I can't speak for the other two books - which I haven't read - but this one is a clunky pastiche of every spiritual and/or New Age idea of the past 2000 years.
There's a little bit of everything here ... from the truly valuable to real howlers. (E.T. makes an appearance. And how charming that "God" agrees with the author on free love -- in favor! -- and protecting old-growth forests. Worst is when the author presents his own New Age wedding vows as the model for what everyone's should be!)
Really disheartening were the in-your-face plugs on every 5th page for one of the author's other books and programs! Somehow, it is impossible to believe this is a tactic God would need!
I made the mistake of paying full-price at a bookstore, on the recommendation of a friend. If you're determined to give it a look, try to pick up an inexpensive used copy first!
A testament to a higher power
This book, is extraordinary. While the title suggests Christianity or other religious entity, it is much more existential that it suggests. An unequivically poignant book, inspiration and a fine assist on one's spiritual journey. Hands down one of the best books I have ever read.
Wish I had found this when it came out
This book was published ten years ago; I came to it in 2008. Everything in divine timing, no doubt. Filled with wisdom, beautiful and uplifting.
