In 1992, Neale Donald Walsch—depressed, in poor health, unhappy with his life—wrote an angry letter to God. His frustrated questions—What does it take to make life work? What have I done to deserve a life of such continuing struggle?—poured out onto a yellow legal pad. Before he was through, his pen stayed suspended over the paper, and a reply was whispered into his mind by a voiceless voice:"Do you really want an answer to all these questions, or are you just venting?"

Communion with God is the latest in a series of books chronicling Walsch's extraordinary experience.
