Here are some excerpts from the book.

Q) What would it take to have a real friendship with God? God Answers)
-
A change of mind and a change of heart. That is what it would take. A change of mind and a change of heart. And courage.
-
The courage to reject every notion, every idea, every teaching of a God who would reject you. This will take enormous bravery, because the world has contrived to fill your head with those notions, ideas, and teachings.
-
You will have to adopt a new thought about all of this, a thought that runs counter to virtually everything you’ve ever been told or heard about Me. That’ll be tough. For some, that’ll be very tough.
-
But it will be necessary, because you can’t have a friendship; not a real, not a close, not a working, give-and-take friendship – with someone you fear.

The seven steps to Friendship with God
- Know God
- Trust God
- Love God
- Embrace God
- Use God
- Help God
- Thank God
- God says) You have to have a real willingness. You have to be willing to see Me where you find Me, not only where you expect to find Me. You have to come to know Me again
-
God says) Come to Me, I said, along the path of your heart, not through a journey of your mind. You will never find Me in your mind. In other words, you can’t really know Me if you think about Me too much. That’s because your thoughts contain nothing more than your previous ideas about God. Yet the reality of Me will not be found in your previous ideas, but in your present moment experience.
The almighty does have a sense of humor though, at times Muslims may see Jesus and Christians see Mohammad! Both are not God Almighty, but both housed the same God power at the time they lived. The form we perceive is not important, it’s the power behind the form we must behold in all its glory.
To enhance our relationship with God (or whomever we believe to be the highest), all we need to do is practice a method. Devote to it, love it, make it the center-piece of our life…and want God, remember God, use God and love yourself. In no time, you will feel a friend (like no other) come into your life for eternity.
