The book that inspired me

Dinesh Shahra New Delhi
I usually read spiritual or religious books at night as they relax me completely. Currently I'm re- reading an old book called Conversations with God Book 1 which is the first installment of a trilogy.
 
I generally keep scout for books that render alternative ways of living our lives, which either depict some philosophy or portray certain people's personal experiences on their path towards finding God and the Truth.
 
Conversations with God Book 1 has a novel way of looking at suffering and failure. It will appeal to anyone who has undergone suffering and faced failures in life. The life-altering experience that is penned in Conversations with God Book 1 has made a marked difference in my outlook to life and has reiterated my faith in God and the universe.
 
Through Conversations with God Book 1, Neale Donald Walsh comes across as a very honest author. Few would be able to brush aside his writing as untrue or not be impacted positively to some extent at least, through his work. The trilogy Conversations with God is my all time favourite read.
