Just show's who's on our side (' ') We just
heard by chance that Neale Donald Walsch was passing through Britain on
the 18th. We got in touch with his office, told them what we were doing
and to our enormous pleasure Neale said he was very interested and
would love to attend. He'll be with us for the Wednesday afternoon - and
quite possibly for the movie in the evening. (Even though he lives in
Oregon he hasn't seen it yet - though he knows all about it.)
Neale's books have sold in their millions, in 27 languages - and they've
had a huge impact. If you're not familiar with his work, have a look at his
website - www.cwg.org

Neale is the author of the hugely successful Conversations with God series of books. He believes that the crisis humanity is facing is primarily a spiritual crisis, driven in part by out-moded beliefs about God.
"He had seen the bottom of life living outside, gathering beer and soda cans in the park to collect the return deposit, but now he seemed to be on a roll again. Yet, once again, Neale felt an emptiness in his life. In 1992, following a period of deep despair, Neale awoke in the middle of a February night and wrote an anguished letter to God. "What does it take," he angrily scratched across a yellow legal pad, "to make life work?"
"Now well chronicled and widely talked about, it was this questioning letter that received a divine answer. Neale says that he heard a voice, soft and kind, warm and loving, that gave him an answer to this and other questions. Awestruck and inspired, he quickly scribbled these responses onto the tablet. More questions came, and, as fast as they occurred to him, answers were given in the same soft voice, which now seemed placed inside his head. Before he knew it, Neale found himself engaged in a two-way on-paper dialogue. He continued this first "conversation" for hours, and had many more in the weeks that followed, always awakening in the middle of the night and being drawn back to his legal pad. Neale's handwritten notes would later become the best-selling Conversations with God books. He says the process was "exactly like taking dictation," and that the dialogue created in this way was published without significant alteration or editing."
"In addition to authoring the renowned With God series, Neale has published 12 other works, as well as a number of video and audio programs. Available throughout the world, each of the CwG dialogue books has made the New York Times Bestseller list, Conversations with God-Book 1 occupying that list for over two and half years."
