If I ever have a child this will be a must read to them. It's a message that I would want them to hear and try to understand, even from a young age. Jul 19, treehugger rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: This book is SUCH a great kids book - really, one of the best. Although I sometimes question Neale Donald Walsh's complete honesty, he really comes through with the most remarkable way of seeing life in this endearing little children's book.
It's impeccably illustrated, and tells the story of a little soul talking with God NOT pictured as an old white man in the sky, but rather as the sun.. In his discussion with God, he describes how he knows Who He Really Is a part of God, perfection , as is everyone else. He wants to experience forgiveness. But, because we are all perfect sparks of God, the little soul couldn't experience forgiveness. A friendly soul pipes up and promises to give the little soul something to forgive him for in his next life, so that he could have a direct experience of that part of God.
And the friendly soul agrees to do this, even if it means they both have to forget how perfect they are temporarily, because she loves the little soul so much. Truly a revolutionary way of looking at those we don't enjoy being around, but who are in our lives anyway. According to NDW, we should be thanking them for the gifts they bring to our lives, no matter what. Jun 09, Kate rated it really liked it. I normally don't read spiritual, but a friend recommended it. First on an illustrative standpoint, I love the image design and set-up of this children's parable book.
Showing God as the sky and sun does leave the readers open to think what they want of God's image. Trust me you don't want a religious war over what God supposedly looks like. As for the message, perhaps take it with a grain of salt.
To some they may perceive this as some people do good or bad things and that is their "niche or goa I normally don't read spiritual, but a friend recommended it. To some they may perceive this as some people do good or bad things and that is their "niche or goal". But on a whole I think the moral can be viewed differently by many different people. But in a Christian perspective, you must remember forgiveness is key. So even if someone does something you don't agree with, one must remember not to judge and in the Little Soul's case to be forgiving.
Apr 15, Tami rated it it was amazing. The little soul had already realized that he was light but did not know how to be this. God explained to the little soul that it was hard to discern the light when everything was bright. They decided to play a game of pretend. The little soul would go into the darkness so that he could see his light. Moreover, he would go into this experimen Based upon Neale Donald Walsch's Conversations with God , The Little Soul and the Sun tells the story of the little soul who wanted to experience who he was. Moreover, he would go into this experiment looking to explore a special part of the light called forgiveness.
Another little soul agreed to be the one who'd need forgiving. I love the Little Soul books. They remind us all about the light, the unconditional love, and the connection that we all possess and that we share during our time on this planet. Aug 25, Hope rated it it was ok. I have mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, it is very sweet. The illustrations really carry the text in that regard. I am very impressed by the art. On the other hand, it has just enough "blame the victim" to leave a bad taste in my brain. I actually do appreciate the philosophy that, on some level, we choose to exist in space and time as a way to experience things we couldn't otherwise experience.
But I'm not sure that telling that to a child is actually helpful.

It felt more like " I have mixed feelings about this book. It felt more like "bad things are your fault" than "everyone should be loved. But I'm still not planning to find a copy for any of the children in my life. Dec 27, Carolina rated it liked it. Jan 27, Ashley rated it it was amazing.

This was a book recommended to me when I went to a conference with a friend; I didn't know what to expect. I didn't even realize how innocent but powerful this book was It is special to be considerate of others! That's what it means to be the Light. Isn't it special to be forgiving?
I want to be forgiving. I want to experience myself as that.

It always seemed as though there were some complication. There is not a single soul in all creation less perfect than you. It was then that the Little Soul realized a large crowd had gathered. Looking at the countless other souls gathered there, the Little Soul had to agree. None appeared less wonderful, less magnificent, or less perfect than the Little Soul itself.
Such was the wonder of the souls gathered around, and so bright was their Light, that the Little Soul could scarcely gaze upon them. I wanted to know what that part of special felt like. But just then a Friendly Soul stepped forward from the crowd.
Why would you do that? You, who vibrate with such a speed that it creates a Light so bright that I can hardly gaze upon you! What could cause you to want to slow down your vibration to such a speed that your bright Light would become dark and dense? Oh, we have danced together, you and I, many times. Through the eons and across all the ages have we danced. Across all time and in many places have we played together.
