69. Solving the God Dilemma with Neale Donald Walsch
Neale Donald Walsch has authored 39 books about modern spirituality and how to use it in daily life. Neale spent most of his early adult years excelling professionally while seeking a deeper meaning in life. He had an early interest in religion and a strong spiritual connection. This need sparked a string of intensely private spiritual encounters that he recognized as one-on-one conversations with the Divine. These experiences led to the creation of the Conversations with God book series, which has been translated into 37 other languages and includes seven titles that have debuted on the New York Times bestseller list.His most recent book, The God Solution, was released in December 2020 and encourages people to adopt a new global morality based on a more precise and precise definition of God. The book makes the claim that there is a single spiritual truth statement on which all world faiths may agree. This declaration would lead to a profound shift in spiritual paradigms worldwide, bringing about peace and happiness for all people on Earth.We discuss how these books came about, what the God dilemma is, and what Neale’s proposed solution to it all is.Resources:
