Moments of Grace: When God Touches Our Lives Unexpectedly - Hardcover

"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

From every corner of the Earth, from all cultures and walks of life, people who have read the Conversations with God books have written to Neale Donald Walsch about their own experiences of God’s presence in their lives. Always extraordinary and sometimes miraculous, these stories demonstrate the widespread commonality of such occurrences.

Those who share their personal experiences of God represent a collective voice for the emergence of spirituality as an integral part of everyday life. Together, they say to the world: Look, this happens more often and to more of us than is commonly believed. Experiencing God is not just confined to biblical characters who lived two thousand years ago, or to the occasional saint. It happens everywhere, all the time.

Neale Donald Walsch has woven these stories into Moments of Grace, and links them seamlessly into the concepts and messages presented in the Conversations with God books. Here are ordinary people telling the truth about their experiences. The promise of this book is that you, too, can experience miracles in your life. If you have eyes to see, here’s the proof.
