The author of this book, Neale Donald Walsh, began having conversations with God on Easter 1992.
The first volume of "Conversations with God," a collection of stories about God heard over the course of a year, was published in 1995 by a small publishing house called Hampton Roads in Charlottesville, USA.
The first 5,000 copies printed sold out in two months, and the subsequent 10,000 copies sold out in three months.
The book subsequently sold over 100,000 copies purely by word of mouth, landing on the Los Angeles Times bestseller list.

As the book became known, Putnam Publishing, a major publisher, published a hardcover version of the book, which led to increased sales across the United States, and it appeared on the bestseller lists of The New York Times and Publisher's Weekly.
In the case of the New York Times, it continued to be a bestseller for over 120 weeks and was published in over 25 countries around the world.

According to Wendy Carlton, an editor at Putnam Press, “People were going into bookstores and buying 10 copies at a time.
They tell the salesperson, 'I read this book.
This book changed my life.
“I will give one to my husband, one to my son-in-law, one to my parents, and one… …” she said.
This book, which gives people a sense of inspiration and makes them want to share it, has also spread in the United States, initially among people interested in the 'new science movement', and has created a huge number of followers.
Study groups for this book have sprung up across the United States.
This is because this book provides philosophical roots to a wide range of issues, including human life, science, the universe, and the soul.


Talking to God about your personal life

"Conversations with God" is composed of three parts: Volume 1 deals with truth on a personal level, Volume 2 with truth on a global level, and Volume 3 with truth on a cosmic level.

Volume 1 mainly talks about many questions about our personal lives, questions we always feel and question: various aspects of our daily experiences such as money, love, sex, God, health, illness, food, relationships, right and wrong, heaven and hell.

Author Walsh goes into great detail about how we can know our future, why time exists while we are in our bodies if there is no time and space, what happens after death, whether the Earth will undergo a cataclysm as many psychics say, why reincarnation is taboo in religions, is there life on other planets, why the soul leaves the body, what the soul is, and how to achieve full awareness.
To all these questions God gives clear and insightful answers.
And finally, I advise you to remember the following three wisdoms:

First, we are all one.
If we all thought we were one, we wouldn't treat each other the way we do now.
Second, if you think you have enough, you will share it all with everyone.
Thirdly, we need to know that there is nothing we need to do.


You can't "get there" by trying to be love, happiness, or anything else, and the way to "get there" is to "be there."


By the way, the God in this book is not the Catholic God, the Christian God, the Buddhist Buddha, or any other god worshipped by any other specific religion.
Rather, it is a God who exists only as a creator and observer, completely unrelated to existing religions, a God who grants humans unlimited creativity and choice without hell or heaven.
Therefore, he says, readers, regardless of their religious affiliation or preconceptions, will be able to explore the true meaning of human existence through this book.
