Neale Donald Walsch is the author of the Conversations with God series of books, seven of which have made the New York Times bestseller lists. He has created a number of global projects revolving around the Core Messages found here, including an education program for children and a collaboration with people across the planet to invite serious and ongoing discussion of these ideas everywhere. Neale lives in southern Oregon with his wife, the American poet Em Claire. The two travel and work together extensively, sharing with people around the world information they hope may help others in finding a deeper connection with themselves, their soul, and God.
