The Home with God Guidebook encompasses Neale Donald Walsch’s explanation of what occurs before, during and after death. It is an illuminatory celebration of joy, written
in hopes of releasing its readers’ guilt and fear—and replacing it with hope, love and a thirst for every experience in our physical lives. Exercises will guide readers
through the Eighteen Remembrances, or ultimate truths, that our souls have known for eternity but have forgotten while in the physical realm; it is in the remembering of
these truths that we are able to release our fears about death and live lives based in love.
Until I read the Conversations with God books, I had defined my losses as things unfairly snatched away from me before they had been dismissed. After reading Neale’s books,
I now view the loss of my husband to divorce, of my mother to a heart attack, and of my home, job, business and friends to Hurricane Katrina as situations I chose for
myself and as growth opportunities. Since then, I have been gifted the time to educate myself and to create an experience for others so that they may view their
losses—whether they be from death, divorce, or natural disaster—as “soul expansion” experiences that we, as one God, may better understand what living really is. It is
through living a fearless life that we shun the fear of death.
