Regardless of whether or not it is appropriate to claim that one is channeling God when one isn't doing so, hopefully Walsch's books have an overall positive effect rather than an overall negative effect. If a person approaches his or any source of information with a cult like mentality, even a valid source, this isn't a good thing. We should always be free to figure things out for ourselves. A limiting belief system is a limiting belief system regardless of where it comes from.

She couldn't understand where Neale stopped and God began the conversation. So, I took the book and as I read it, highlighted all of God's "voice to Neale" in gold.
For the most part, I enjoyed the book and agreed with about 90 per cent of what was said. It gave a lot of hope.
My husband and I watched the movie, also named Conversations with God. It was a biography of Neale Donald Walsch and how he came about to write the series of books. It was very interesting.
As for all the rest, a person must find belief within ones self and follow that belief individually. Our lessons vary from person to person and our experiences all vary also.
