"This book is a huge hug for God ... about moments in our lives when God steps into our lives and gives us a great big hug." Some might label the heart-rending stories in this book as acts of synchronicity or coincidence, but author Neale Donald Walsch calls them moments of grace--"those times when God intervenes in our lives in very real, very direct, and very visible ways." Walsch is renowned for his enormously popular Conversations with God series, which encourage a friendship-like intimacy with God. He builds upon that intimacy in this collection of real-life stories, which he gathered from everyday folks. The settings and situations range from hitchhiking a lonely highway to discovering a teenage daughter who's cut her wrists to finding a gay support group. Every story features a turning point or a seemingly chance encounter that seems to be divinely orchestrated. After recounting the stories, Walsch offers a brief commentary that emphasizes the intimacy and availability of God. This is an unabashed feel-good, feel-God kind of book--highly inspirational and a tad schmaltzy. Some will find the tone a bit smothering, but fans of the CWG series will probably find it touching. --Gail Hudson

Uplifting and helpful February 11, 2008
All of Neal's books have inspired my husband and I.
It is way of perceiving life and God that makes such
good sense and feels right. So, glad we have read
Neal's works. Recommend them all.
Moments of Grace July 29, 2006
I've read many of Neale Walsch inspirational books and this one by far was the best for me. Realizing that Miracles occur all the time was enlightening.
The short stories of others open my heart and mind to be more aware of God's presence in my every day life.
I would recommend this book to anyone.

There are moments in everyone's life when they wonder if there is a God and in "Moments of Grace" God touches lives through miraculous events and unforeseen circumstances.
I think God is always trying to talk to us and guide us and the more people talk about their experiences, the more acceptable this form of guidance becomes. I remember being in a situation at the airport on St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands. We had no idea where we would spend the next few days because a hurricane was about to hit the island. I remember a wonderful woman coming up to us, like an angel. She offered to take us to a hotel, took care of us the entire time, showed us where to get movies and made sure we were safe and had food. I still think she was an angel in disguise.
As Neale Donald Walsch says: "Never doubt that God comes to us in answer to our call. Yet always be aware that the Forms of God are multitudinous. And endless."
The story of a father hearing a voice tell him to find his daughter shows how God helped a father save his child. This book is emotional and revealing and will appeal to anyone who has wondered about their own experiences and the interconnectedness of life. All my life I've been told that God doesn't speak to us anymore, but this book and my own experiences tell me God "definitely" does still speak to us in various ways. I hear words and see them at the same time and sometimes they make sentences that guide me while I'm making important decisions. I will admit to being a little "skeptical" about my own experience until they started to make absolute sense.
If you have ever left your body while sleeping or have experienced a near-death experience, this book helps to shed light on why it happened and how it has happened to others.
"Life is eternal. It has no beginning and it has no end. It has only differing expressions at different points on a cycle that never ends. Death is a fiction and does not really exist, although departure from the body does." ~Neale Donald Walsch
The stories in this book are from real life and are about real people. The stories were sent in to show that God still works miracles and that he is very alive. The people who tell their stories claim that their lives are filled with "moments of grace" where they experience guidance.
Neale Donald Walsch also fills the book with his thoughts and gives advice on how to be happy, how we can be the source of happiness for others and explains how we can be friends with God.
In these stories a mother fights to understand why her baby is ill and ends up meeting an angel who tells her that her baby would live. A man in the midst of addictive behavior views his behavior from a different vantage point and instead of ending his life; he magically finds a support group and discovers God's love.
You can also share your stories by sending them to the address in the "In Closing..." section of this book.

Known world-wide for the Conversations with God trilogy, Neale Donald Walsch is back with his eighteenth book, Moments of Grace. Walsch says moments of grace occur "when God intervenes in our lives in very real, very direct, and very visible ways." The intervention usually results in individuals changing the course of their lives. His book is filled with real-life accounts of such moments.Walsch asked people who'd had direct, life-changing experiences with God to contact him. He received an outpouring of stories, from which he selected more than twenty to offer as proof of God's existence. Each story is interwoven with commentaries and reflections based on the rich material in his earlier books. He says that his experiences and those of the people who've sent stories to him teaches us "that God talks to all of us, all of the time." Walsch emphasizes that his purpose is not in forcing anyone to believe a particular thing, but rather to simply encourage people to share their experiences and stories. His goal is to have people "tell each other our innermost truth about God, about ourselves, about spirituality, about life, and about all the higher callings of life." In this way, we can answer for ourselves the important questions about our relationships to the Divine and to each other. He says we don't know far more than we do know, and it's only through openness and the sharing of our experiences that we can find answers that many of us seek. Miracles occur every day in every life. Moments of Grace is designed to help individuals discover those miracles in their own lives. Readers will find themselves accepting the challenge of increasing their "openness to new ideas, to new possibilities, and to new ways of understanding each other and God-and God's many gifts."

A major theme in Walsch's "Conversations with God" series is the idea that God and humans are in constant contact. The only thing preventing that communication is our unwillingless to listen or our own doubt. Walsch presents interesting stories from real people who believe that they've experienced connection with a force greater than they, one which lovingly directs them to revelations and helps them with crisis and tragedy. Even if you are new to Walsch's books (I strongly recommmend is "Conversations with God" series, Books 1-3), the stories of these every day people stand alone, and confirm that God is always talking, always communicating. Those who listen and trust are blessed with their own Moment of Grace.
