Conversations With God by Neil Donald Walsh

"I grew up kind of semi Christian. We went to Sunday school and stuff like that, but it wasn't super strict," he says. "These books were the first thing that just kind of allowed me to phase out of this depression ... It sent me down quite a novel route of being interested in these types of issues" He was inspired by Dr. Steven Greer's new method for initiating contact with non-gimmon responses.
