: :::: Has anyone read any of Walsch's books?
: I have, all of Convers W/God: Book One, some of Book Two before I got bored to tears (too political for my tastes), and yet to read Book Three.
: Book One impressed me the most, and that is where I got the notion that emotions is the best way for "god" to communiate with us. It made sense on some things and my path evolved cuz of it.
: ::: Walsch's latest book, "The New Revelations: A Conversation With God" starting in January.
: Not sure if I should get New Revelations or not. *shrug* Tho, I did get Friendships with God, cuz from what I skimmed over it in the bookstore, it looked worth the moola.
: Some people love those books and feel it is "non-fiction", but in reality, it IS fiction and purely to be taken with a grain of salt. ;-)

Thanks. "The New Revelations" looks interesting, if a bit new-agey for my taste. Others have claimed it offers nothing Walsch hasn't said in his other books, but I haven't read those other books, so it's new to me.
Walsch might define the "liberal" extreme of my taste in religious/spiritual reading. The "conservative" extreme might be represented by Tony Campolo or even Philip Yancey.
And you have to admit that the line between fiction and non-fiction can be pretty blurry in that part of the bookstore. ;)
