Living the Literature of Spiritual Growth
What is needed now is for humanity to agree on the most important topic in human history.
We could produce spectacular results if we did so, changing life on Earth for the better - forever. And this is not out of our reach. We could bring an end to anger, violence, disagreements between people and nations, financial hardships, poverty, starvation, and the suffering of millions. We could bring peace, prosperity, security, opportunity, and joy to people around the world. In short, all that humanity has ever hoped for or dreamt of and what we were truly meant to experience could be ours. This could happen virtually overnight. And it could be done with the embracing of a single idea. |
Neal Donald Walsch
Neale Donald Walsch has written 39 books on contemporary spirituality and its practical application in everyday life. With an early interest in religion and a deeply felt connection to spirituality, Neale spent the majority of his early adult years thriving professionally, yet searching for greater meaning in life. He has said that this yearning let to a series of deeply personal spiritual encounters which he experienced as direct exchanges with the Divine.
A series of books titled Conversations with God emerged from those moments, and has been translated into 37 languages. Seven books in the series reached the New York Times bestseller list, Conversations with God-Book 1 remaining there for over two-and-a-half years. His latest book is The God Solution, published in December, 2020, which invites humanity to embrace a new global ethic based on a refined and clarified definition of God. The book proposes that there is a single statement of spiritual truth upon which all the world’s religions could agree, and which would birth a shift of spiritual paradigms around the globe of such magnitude that it would produce peace and happiness on our planet at last. |
From The Book
As a devastating global virus, as devastating racial injustice, and as devastating economic collapse assailed the planet in 2020, the Fair Question is: If a benevolent Higher Power exists, what’s the problem here? Why is life on Earth not any better?
Perhaps it’s presumptuous to suggest an answer, and one hates to sound simplistic, but could the problem be that we simply haven’t found a way to engage with that Higher Power, if it does exist? ~Neale Donald Walsch

During the week, we read a selected section of the book by ourselves.
Each Thursday, at the end of the day, we join a simple online video meeting. We enjoy a facilitated discussion of the reading and the results we're getting from the practical spiritual suggestions in the book. |
