There was a previous thread that had been posted that asked what others thought about the book. Many thought that the book was not ok for Christians because it was not based on the word of God. Check this e-mail that I got out. It only confirms that this book is not ok to be drawing our answers about life from.
BEWARE OF THIS BOOK
Beware of the book, Conversations with God. Dr. James Dobson talked about
this book twice this week. It is devastating and parents and Christian
schools need to be aware of this. Do pass it on to church/ e-mail
addressees. Parents, Grand parents, Aunts, Uncles: Please pay special
attention not only to what your kids watch on TV and in movie theaters
and the music they listen to, but we must also be alert regarding the
books they read.
Two particular books, Conversations with God and Conversations with God
for Teens, written by Neil D. Walsh, sound harmless enough by their
titles alone. These books have been on the New York Times best sellers
list for a number of weeks, and these publications make truth of the
statement, "Don't judge a book by its cover/title."
The author purports to answer various questions from kids using the
"voice of God". However, the "answers" that he gives are not
Bible-based and go against the very infallible word of God. For instance
(and I paraphrase), when a girl asks the question "Why am I a lesbian?"
his answer is that she was born that way because of genetics (just as you
were born right-handed, with blue eyes, etc.). Then he tells her to go
out and "celebrate" her differences.
Another girls poses the question "I am living with my boyfriend. My
parents say that I should marry him because I am living in sin. Should I
marry him?" His reply is, "Who are you sinning against? Not me, because
you have done nothing wrong."
Another question asks about God's forgiveness of sin. His reply - I do
not forgive anyone because there is nothing to forgive. There is no such
thing as right or wrong and that is what I have been trying to tell
everyone, do not judge people. People have chosen to judge one another
and this is wrong, because the rule is "judge not lest ye be judged".
And the list goes on. Not only are these books the false doctrine of
devils, but in some instances even quote (in error) the Word of God.
These books (and others like it) are being sold to school children (The
Scholastic Book Club), and we need to be aware of what is being fed to
our children.
Our children are under attack, so I pray that you be sober and vigilant
about teaching your kids the Word of God, and guarding their exposure to
worldly mediums, because our adversary, the devil, roams about as a
roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). And how many of us
know that lions usually hunt for the slowest, and weakest and YOUNGEST of its prey.
Pass this on to every Believer you know. God bless! And, if in doubt,
look at the books yourself.

"I do not forgive anyone because there is nothing to forgive." Is this author serious? Go commit a horrible crime against someone, THEN come back and tell me you don't need forgiveness.
