Summary: Don't bother caring about anyone else
Comment: I guess this book is mostly attractive to Christians who have never questioned what they've been taught all their lives, and lived in fear of a wrathful god, and suddenly they're hit with what must seem at first like a bit of fresh air. (I'm not a Christian, although I was raised as one, so I didn't have the positive reaction that so many people have had to this book.) I think my main gripe is the "do whatever you want, other people don't matter" philosophy Walsch espouses. I do not agree with the author that selfishness is the highest good--I feel that compassion is actually the essence of the best of human attributes. Where have I heard this line before...: "The greatest among you shall be the servant of all," or words to that effect.

Important Message - Warning - Must read!!!
For those of you with children and Grandchildren:
Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, please pay special attention not
only to the what your kids watch on TV and in movie theaters and the
music they listen to ... but we must also be alert regarding the books
they read.
Two particular books, "Conversations with God" and "Conversations with
God for Teens," written by Neale Donald Walsch sound harmless enough by
their titles alone. These books have been on the New York Times best
seller list for a number of weeks. These publications makes truth of the
statement "Don't judge a book by its cover/title". The author purports
to answer various questions from kids using the "voice of God." However
the ANSWERS that he gives are not biblically-based and in fact go
against the very infallible Word of God.
For instance (and I paraphrase), when a girl asks the question "why am I
a lesbian?" his answer is that she was born that way because of genetics
just as you were born right-handed, with blue eyes, etc.
Then he tells her to go out and "celebrate" her differences.
Another girl poses the question "I am living with my boyfriend. My
parents say that I should marry him because I am living in sin. Should I
marry him?" His reply is "Who are you sinning against? Not me, because
you have done nothing wrong."
Another question asks about God's forgiveness of sin. His reply - "I do
not forgive anyone because there is nothing to forgive. There is no such
thing as right or wrong and that is what I have been trying to tell
everyone. I do not judge people. People have chosen to judge one another
and this is wrong because the rule is 'Judge not lest ye be judged'."
And the list goes on. Not only are these books the false doctrine of
devils but in some instances even quote (in error) the Word of God.
These books (and others like it) are being sold to school children (The
Scholastic Book Club) and we need to be aware of what is being fed to
our children.
Our children are under attack so I pray that you be sober and vigilant
about teaching your kids the true Word of God and guarding their
exposure to worldly media because our adversary, the devil, "roams about
as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8).
And how many of us know that lions usually hunt for the slowest, weakest
and YOUNGEST of its prey.

Summary: Who would want to believe in such a God?
Comment: After reading many reviews of this book and taking some time to explore them, I'm actually pretty shocked with regard to the lack of critical thinking done by those who champion this book.
Let's say Neale DID received these ideas from God (which, for the record I do not believe): who would want to believe in such a god?
A god for whom no consequences exist? No judgement? No wrath? Now many of us who live in the couched existence of the West find such ideas "silly" and only those that the "hate-filled" Christian fundamentalists believe. But these are concepts that reveal to us that God actually CARES. Take some time to meditate on the horrors that exists within our world-hatred, rape, genocide, torture, incest, etc., etc. Where is the justice for these victims? I do not understand how when all is said and done, Walsch's god offers us any justice at all.
I know many in our culture are uncomfortable with ideas around accountability, judgement, and consequences, but it is only uncomfortable for those who see the sole end of life as being self-driven pleasure. For the rest of us, those concerned with issues that affect more than our own ego's, a god who consequences and judges is a good God in so far as He/She gives an actualy DAMN about what happens here in our reality.
Ask yourself this question the next time you want to recommend Walsch's book to another: how much genuine hope would it bring an oppressed and impovershed family in India? I've read nothing in it that would. Walsch's god is a western construction of egoism and blind hedonism that is rooted in little more than an idolatry of self.
