JOURNAL: BOOK THAT CHANGED MY LIFE

Every so often there come along books that provide deeply profound and life changing wisdom. Here are books that changed my life:

1-Conversations with God
I personally consider this book, the book that has helped me remember who I really am, why I am here and the greater purpose of it all. I owe it to this book as to why I am where I am in my life today. It was just the spark I needed to ignite a great fire within me. A fire to seek the truth, to question, to understand and to expand on both the spiritual and physical entity that I am.

How this book came to me is a whole other story, but believe you me when I say that, for it actually “came to me” in a very odd set of circumstances.It was not easy to read/hear this book at first. To tell you the truth is was  even a bit uncomfortable at times, for it made me question things that I never dared question before. It made me think, like I never dared think before. And it made me open myself up to a whole new world of possibilities.

This meant I had to leave the safe space of comfort and of all that I knew and believed up to that point. I did not have to accept anything that the book said, but my soul told me otherwise. No matter how uncomfortable the feeling was at times, as this transformation was taking place within me, somewhere in there my soul was rejoicing. Somewhere inside of me, I knew I was coming into being, who I really was and am today.

For those of you not yet familiar with Neale Donald Walsch , in the early 1990′s, Neale was at the lowest time in his life. He lived as a homeless person for about a year. He lost his family, his job and even had a car accident that left him seriously hurt.

It was then that Neale got really angry, as to why he was “dealt” this fate by God. Nothing seemed to go right in his life, which was nothing but one struggle after another. Neale asked about why all this was happening to him, and to his surprise, God responded. What came out of this was a set of 9 books that Neale wrote as “Conversations With God” over an 11 year period.
