Great book, xlnt service
Book arrived super fast, in perfect condition. I'm totally satisfied with this purchase and would recommend the selller.

Moving, Spiritual, Intelligent
Ellen Burstyn kept diaries throughout her life and made sure to archive them, along with other documents, not throwing anything away. This blessing has allowed her to write one of the most moving memoirs I've ever read. Reading her story has helped me in my own journey. She writes of her search for teachers throughout her life, people who helped her find her way and figure things out. With this book the student becomes the teacher. With brutal honesty she imparts great wisdom. This is an examined, exemplary life and not because of her fame and success but despite them. Ellen Burstyn is an artist but she is foremost a caring and honest and loving human being.

Ellen Burstyn, beautiful without and within
Great memoir! Reads like a novel. I could only put it down when my eyes just got too tired to read any longer. Ellen and I are close in age and I can relate to her in so many ways even though I'm not an actress and not famous. She's a real person with a real life and real life experiences that she tells in an open, frank and entertaining way. I've always liked her films and as I read I began to like and respect her even more. What a beautiful person she has become. Bravo, Ellen, and the book!

Very poor service
This is the only product I've ordered from Amazon that I wasn't happy with and that was simply because I never received it. I tried, unsuccessfully to contact the company that was to send it(3 e-mails) and they responded only once, saying that they would look into it. I didn't receive the book or an offer to send another. Nothing.
It's a lovely book. I had it before a fire destroyed my entire apartment. I have yet to replace it.
A great gift for any senior. Filled with photos, poems and stories about the aging process, life and it's journey.
A favorite of mine.

If ... Learn and Enjoy!
What attracted me first was the title of the book .. it gave me a feeling of hope and freshness!

Each portrait reaches to your heart and to your soul... it is like when you look deep into someone's eyes and find the truth.. about relationships, simple daily routines, and above all that lingering feeling of love that signifies one's decisions and actions!
So many lessons and more advice.. so poeticly described and softly accentuated for us to see.. and hopefully learn!

I enjoyed it extremely.. I went over and over several parts ... sometimes smiling and others tearing.. it is a book that surprises you every time you read it...

The writing is great and the message is universal.
The women in this book could be my best friends. They face real issues and make the best decisions they can. Just like most of us, they sometimes wish that they could go back and do it all over. I especially liked the storiesfrom women who were past their parenting years and trying to figure outwhat to do with the rest of their life. I bought copies for both mysisters: we can't afford to be like Nadine Stair and find ourselves at theend of life regretting all the things we didn't do.

It changed my life.
I love this book. The first time I read the title poem, I knew it was the truth. The last thing I want to do is wake up in 30yrs and realize I could've had more fun. This book reminds you to Live each day for all it'sworth. ... Read more

About James Dobson
I Lived in Colorado Springs just down the road from focas on the family for several years and the review I read about what James Dobson was saying struck me as funny. This man claims to be a godly and rightgious man hiself yet he is only in this for the money as well. You go into the gift shop at focas on the family and when you go to purchase anything in there on it, it says donation price is.... So that Mr Dobson does not have to pay taxes on it. So Who is the hipocrite here????? I do not know if this book is true or not but I would like to keep an open mind. None of us in this world knows the truth that lies out there the greatest gift we can give to ourselves and others is pure love and I think that is what is trying to be said in this book. There is no wrong or right way there is just faith and the ultimate to except everyone and everything and to obtaine that higher level and to love one another unconditionally......

Finally
I grew up in the church, l was bombarded with the bible and its endless threats of sin and hell. Finally through the Conversations of God books I have discovered a God that loves us all. Would you torture the ones you love for making mistakes? God is love. More love than you could ever understand. I am thankful to have found the truth, Finally! Thank you God.

Beware of this misleading book, warned from my friends email
Beware of "Conversations with God" books

Conversations with God

Dr. James Dobson talked about this book twice this
week. It is devastating and parents and Christian
schools need to be aware of this. Do pass it on to
your pastor/church/e-mail addressees. Parents Beware
very disturbing information. Please read. Parents,
Grand parents, 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
Neil D Walsh. sound harmless enough by their titles
alone.

These books have been on the New York Times best
sellers 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 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 girls 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; 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.

Our children are under attack. So I pray that you be
sober and vigilant about teaching your kids the Word
of God and guarding their exposure to worldly
mediums, 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, and weakest and
YOUNGEST
OF ITS PREY?

Pass this on to every believer you know. God BLESS!

PLEASE, DON'T BE FOOLED BY THIS "god"!
Don�t waste you hard earned money!This book is utter nonsense written to swindle and mislead the weak-minded.

The "god" of this book is simply THE RHETORIC OF EASTERN MYSTICISM, which is ironic since that particular �god� is an impersonal force that could not communicate with anyone.The whole concept of this book is as idiotic as saying you could have a conversation with electricity.

The oxymoron of �ABSOLUTE RELATIVISM� is strongly preached throughout the book.There is no separation of right and wrong or good and evil.THE AUTHOR EXPECTS US TO PARK OUR BRAINS IN NEUTRAL and accept that the most wicked mass murders, serial rapists, and hate breathing racists are only �bad� because we �think� they are bad, not because they really are evil.This �god� would have us believe that there is no difference between a Mother Teresa and an Adolph Hitler.

In an ever increasing age of moral relativism, which is a large reason for much of the current financial market woes, HELLO, it never ceases to amaze me the depths to which publishing companies will stoop to print any trash that can make a buck for them.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOOK, AS IT WON�T TELL YOU A THING ABOUT THE TRUE, PERSONAL CREATOR WHO LOVES YOU!

Gods will not mine
I felt like this book was written for me.It was all i needed to know at the time.I realized that following Gods will was not done without courage and belief.I fell almost reborn it sounds remarkable but it is true.I came up with an excerise to help me remember Gods will and i remind myself everyday.Your in a room tied to a chair and a person comes in with a gun and holds it to your head and ask you one question,which you can only answer yes or no.Do you believe in God?Something to think about.Passages from the book that relates to this;
"Mine is always your highest thought, your clearest word,your grandest feeling.Anything less is from another source"God Bless! ... Read more

This is right up there
Great books have a ring of truth to them. As you read, you can feel the truth resonating in your soul. Neale does a superb job of letting Spirit flow thru him into our hearts and minds. If you haven't read any of the CWG books, I recommend that you give them a chance. As to which, I have trouble distinguishing. It's like asking me which was my favorite time connecting with someone I love.

The most dramatic and significant thing in my life.
I have been on several journies in my lifetime, most of them have been bitter experiences. I have been asking questions about my existence and reasons for being in this universe. I have questioned the authority of thechurch and christianity in my life and the lives of others.

I am anAfrican, and I have witnessed different spiritual powers and and differentways of worshippingand interacting with God. I have spoken with the deadaand it is for real!

Finally, I was in a bookstore in Holland onofaithful afternoon,very depressed and asking God why I have to go throughso much hardship in my life, when I accidentally stumbled onto this greatbook. It has really changed my life. I believe that somethingpropelled metowards this book. I believe that God has finally aanswered my call. I alsobelieve that I deserve to have this great revealation because I have chosento know the truth. However, I have finally realised that religion isjussta vehicle used by people to gratify there selfish needs. I have since beenliving in peace.

This book will keep gravitating to those who are readyfor it and no church nor authority in this universe can stop the intensitythe message is radiating all over the world.

I choose to wish themessages in these books for my fellow travelers and may your lightscontinue to shine O Illuminatis!

the book is excellent. Walsch captures the essence of truth
in reading the first book of conversations with God it brought the realization to my inner self that we do have freedom of choice and why would God interfere with that choice. The book was so simple in thewritings and yet right to the point. It reveals all the questions thatpeople do have. It opens up our thoughts to realize that other personsexperiences are given to us and if we do not do it their way than we arewrong. The book was right when it said that there is no right and there isno wrong who are we to judge others. Very good conversation, the truth isthe truth and I am looking forward to reading the other books that havecome out. Someone gave me this book as a gift to me and what a gift it hasbeen.

this god reflects the bias of the author's unconscious
Though Walsch no doubt believes he had conversations with God, a much simpler explanation is that he had an unusual experience of getting in touch with his unconscious. Some would say that this is the same thing, since either A) the the unconscience is God, or B) God speaks to us primarily through the unconscious, anyway. Walsch tries to give us the impression that these conversatons are with THE God, the Universal God, of everything. But, it appears that the god that Mr Walsch is talking to is a highly personal one, with ready answers to the deep personal travails that he is having, and, if it's his unconscience, has a complete memory of his total life's experiences. The god of a more educated person will by necessity have a wider variety of experiences to draw on,and these will be reflected in the god's answers. For instance, Walsch's god, in trying to express his trinity, compares it to the id, the ego, and the super-id of psychology and again later, the body, the mind, and the spirit. Then he says this is equivalent to energy, matter, and anti-matter of the scientists. This reflects a naivete' of both sciences. Physics and Psychology would have alot to say about this speculation, were they inclined to so indulge. I think, perhaps space, time, and matter mght be a better trilogy, where matter consists of both mass and energy, and where space and time are just two different aspects of the ame continuum.But, matter and anti-matter are not so different, and make a lousy illustration of the point.Are we to believe that a universal God would give us a lousy illustration?No, but I think the example is sufficient for Walsch, so his god offers it match his level of understanding. This god says that he has divided himself in order to experience himself discovering himself, and that therefore, our ultimate quest is to discover Who We Are.This sounds good, and comes in part from Eastern religeons,but one wonders if the dynosaurs were also doing this self-discovery? Was evolution strictly designed to lead to humans, or were the dynos searching their souls for a couple of hundred millon years?Was there a dyno Moses who said that dynosaurs were made in the image and likeness of God? Maybe there was also a dyno Neale D Walsch telling them to find out Who You Are.And, when the experiment was all over, the total unconscious of all the dynosaurs brought on the fatal comet. More questions and comments to come.

Amazing

Very enjoyable and worthy of listening to.
Heard and liked CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD, BOOK TWO by Neale Donald Walsch . . . whereas Book One dealt with personal matters, this dialogue takes on more political and global concerns . . . Edward Asner and Ellen Burstyn served as narrators, along with Walsch, and they certainly added to my enjoyment of the cassette program.

There were several memorable passages; among them:
You do not live each day to discover what it holds, but to create it.

"I am" is the strongest creative statement in the universe. Whatever you say after "I am" calls forth these expectations.

The point of life is to experience who and what you are, then to experience it.

Your life is always a result of your thoughts about it.

The purpose of a relationship is not to have another who might complete you, but to have another who might share your completeness.

If you cannot love yourself, you can't love others.

Ask: What would love do now?

book 1
this book is haven sent,ive all ways felt that god talks to everyone.and that no-one could have a relationship based on fear,and that anyone and everyone is special to god. i was soo happy to also be clairafied that there is no hell or saten,that god used as a scare tactic to force anyone to chose him.

This book told me everything I already knew in my soul.
Throught-out this entire book, I kept exclaiming," I knew that!"But it is always nice to read it from another source than my own innersource.It's nice to know that God communicates with all of us if we butlisten.The information and concepts were more than insightful.A MustRead!

total absorbing and enlighting

Grow old along with me the best is yet to be
I hated this book.I thought it would be pleasant and uplifting poems/stories about growing old and instead the poems/stories were so depressing that I felt crushing despair.I would never recommend this book to anyone of any age.

I bought this book for my father and he loved it.
It's hard to buy for my father but when I read this book I knew he would love it. It was so real. He just turned 50 a couple of years ago and he was so down. I wanted some way to let him know that he was still a veryimportant part of my life. The poems are just fantastic. You can understandthem. And they are about real life.

A beautiful gift for weddings and annivesaries.
I bought this book for my parent's anniversary and had to read it myself before I gave it to them. It touched my heart. My favorite story was about an older man who washes his wife's hair and has since they were firstmarried. It was so beautiful that I cried. I also enjoyed the poems andphotographs. Some of them reminded me of my grandparents. I always enjoythe books from Papier-Mache. ... Read more
