Neale Donald WalschNeale spent the majority of his life thriving professionally, yet searching for spiritual meaning before beginning his now famous conversation with God. Neale's mother taught him not to be afraid of God, as she believed in having a personal relationship with the divine-teaching Neale to do the same.
A non-traditional believer, Neale's mother hardly ever went to church, and when he asked her why, she told Neale, "I don't have to go to church-God comes to me. He's with me and around me wherever I am."
This view of God at an early age would later move Neale to transcend traditional views of organized religion. He noticed that when people got involved in religion they seemed less joyful and more angry, exhibiting behaviors of prejudice and separateness. Neale concluded that the collective experience of theology was not positive.
