What the Book is About:

"A front row seat to a fascinating conversation between God, Jesus, and other biblical characters answering important questions about life and faith.  A Conversation with God allows readers a one-on-one dialogue with God, his son Jesus, and other important men and women from the Bible as they respond to questions and concerns relevant to the Christian faith. The questions, in some cases hard-hitting, cover issues that have troubled believers and seekers since the beginning of time. Each answer is based on Scripture and written with the warmth and intimacy of a Heavenly Father relating to His child."

My Review:
If you could have a conversation with God, what would you ask him?  I know I have always had questions that I would like to ask and I get questions from my kids sometimes that make me say "Yeah, I don't know, good question!"  In Alton Gansky's "A Conversation with God", the author has answers to 55 questions brought to you by God in a one on one conversation.  Some questions have answers but some kinda leave you with more questions and personally it's weird to put God's voice to the words on the page, I think I would have preferred just a translation of the scriptures that back up the questions instead.  I do have to say that it is a great reference for parents who don't know the Bible well to have an answer, of sorts, to give to their kids when they ask spiritual questions like "Why are some people rich and others poor?"  Overall I like the book and it did help answer some of my questions.  "A Conversation with God" by Alton Gansky is a Thomas Nelson publication.
