Neale Donald Walsch is a writer of self improvement books who is most recognized
for his series, "Conversations With God."
Walsch relates that during a time of frustration with his life, he
wrote a letter to God, pleading to know why his life was such a mess.
Walsch claims he heard God speak in reply and conversations began
that developed into a series of books.
Some of the books were written in question and answer format as
Neale Donald Walsch asked questions of God, and other books were
written by Walsch alone in an attempt to further explain God's
replies.
Walsch explains his books are inspirations from God rather than
being channeled.
Background Of Neale Donald Walsch
Neale Donald Walsch was born on
September 10, 1943 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Walsch was raised in the Catholic
faith and was a seeker of spiritual truth from a young age.
Walsch had a variety
of jobs as an adult and in the 1990s, he experienced hard times that changed his
life. He lost his possessions in a fire, broke his neck in a car accident, lost
his job, and ended his marriage. He found himself alone, surviving in a tent and
collecting aluminum cans so he could buy food to eat.
During this time, he
became quite despondent, and began writing as a way to deal with his depression
and find answers to life. During one of those writing sessions, "
Conversations
With God" was born.
