Like many (apparently many many) others my 16GB Transcend SD card failed. I guess I’m one of the lucky ones that got at least 10 months of trouble free use in my video cam. I’m moving back to San Disk. I’ve never had one of those fail. You save 20 bucks by buying this card, but the savings is not worth taking the risk of losing important videos or stills.

I suppose I will be labeled a religious fanatic, because I gave this book one star. Oh well, one star anyway.
This book is completely misleading on the nature of God and our relationship to him. Just consider the book on its own terms. Essentially the being portrayed as God in the book tries to convince the author that he has been reincarnated a number of times, and that the 10 commandments are easy to follow if you just realize your dignity in being a god. “God” mentions John 10:34, which includes the words “ye are gods”, and twists the meaning to prove that the author is a god. Obviously this is something lots of people like to hear, but we are creatures anyway.
Much of this book is “ear-candy” because it *sounds* so good. Things like, there is no hell, only bad choices which make you feel small or bad. We can make anything happen through positive thinking. There is no right or wrong, there is no original sin, etc.
Oddly enough, at one point God says no one should drink alcohol in any form. Now keeping with the philosophy of the book, wouldn’t that be a value judgement? According to the rest of the book we are to make decisions based on our *own* experiences, not what other people, religious entities think. When the author mentions that Jesus drank wine, “God” responds that everyone makes mistakes, even Jesus. What!!? As you can see the book is not even cohesive in its own wacky world. “God” mentions the Crucifixion of Jesus, and how Jesus saves us… but what did he save us from? The only “bad” thing we can possibly do is negative or “wrong” thinking. Jesus didn’t do a very good job saving us from *that*, if all religions before Neale Donald Walsch have been wrong.
I want to leave you with one final point. If the “God” portrayed in this book is so kind and loving, and this book is really *new* information, why has God let us wallow in stupidity for thousands of years until our “savior” Neale Donald Walsch came to show us the light? The God I know
