Rating:  Summary: I thought God could do better Review: Looks like I go against popular opinion here but, I didn't think much of the book. I was so excited to get it and read it. I genuinely wanted to hear what God had to say about some very confusing issues. I'm just kinda dissappointed that God didn't say anything I hadn't heard (usually more eloquently) before. I can't believe God doesn't have something original to say! It was also sort of weird that God's opinions were often focused on problems specifically germaine to Ms. Rose's life. And I suspect his sometimes limited view of complex issues (like the environment)probably mirrors Ms. Rose's own opinions. Bottom line is that I'm sorry I spent $18 on it.
Rating:  Summary: Shocked into Light Review: Never before have I read a book where my eyes bulged out of my head in shock about the messages contained in If God Was Like Man. Some of the messages are universal bringing humanity wonderful solutions, and a view for life that all would do well to adhere to. Other messages shocked the dickens out of me, and for this I am grateful. The messages caused me to re-examine so many rigid beliefs, as to how people 'should' live their lives, including my own. If God Was Like Man awakened me like no book has ever awakened me before. If you are looking to really evolve beyond where you are now, If God Was Like Man will cause you to do just that. Barbara Rose brought through an astonishing gift to awaken humanity on all levels. Highly Recommended. Deserves 10 Stars!
Rating:  Summary: We are all One Review: One of the greatest messages that comes from Divine Source in If God Was Like Man is that we are all ONE. We are not judged, and there is not one religion that is "better" than another. Certainly this message has sparked negative responses from those that try to convert all people into one religion or doctrine, or belief system. There are many other messages that are enlightening and freeing, giving each of us our authentic birthright to be as we really are, and to joyously fulfill our lives with excitement and sincerity. I found the reading of this book to be a beacon in the dark for me, as I was raised to believe what others had taught me to believe, rather than follow my own truth. For this alone, I am deeply grateful for this book. Divine Source poses questions to humanity, and then brings us the answers, and the Divine perspective that serves as a guidepost for us all.
This book is a wonderful contribution for anyone that would like to know how we are both viewed and guided from the highest realm. Thank you Barbara Rose for this book. It is a rare, freeing gift for "all of humanity."
Rating:  Summary: Some Westerners Take the Messages in This Book for Granted Review: The phrase on the back cover states why this book is so needed: to "reach the ears of those who would hide and run away, and the ears of those who would dominate and control others."
The messages in If God Was Like Man would be an answered prayer to many people in other parts of the world, as well as in the West that are put to death for reasons created by Man, and not our All-Loving God.
For those that embrace and apply the messages in this book, your life is far better as a result, because judgment does not exist. For those that judge and condemn, this continues the divide among man and womankind when we are all seeking peace.
I can only applaud Barbara Rose for the courage to bring the messages for those that are awaiting death sentences, and for those that are putting others to death of their own judgment and accord. This book is a beacon in the dark, to quote an earlier reviewer, and the messages are needed among more of the populous than may be evident to those in the West.
Rating:  Summary: Earth Would be Paradise if the Messages Were Followed Review: This book is nothing short of another gift to humanity. If only the messages would be followed we would be living in a permanent paradise. I love what this book represents, and that is freedom of each individual person to honor what is true for them. From same sex marriage, to how God poses the question: "If I were to judge you how severe should be crime be? One lie, one theft, what about an unkind motive? Don't you punish based on motive? Yes, you do..." I could go on quoting from this book, however I think it is more important for the reader to see that what God is trying to convey via the messages in this book are many answers to many questions that people are fighting over. I agree with another reviewer about the "live and let live" attitude, and for those that try to put this book down, they probably blame others for their lot in life, including "God."
Personally, this book brought me a great deal of inner resolution concerning religion, sex, marriage and fidelity. I would suggest a second reading, as I got more out of the book after reading it for the second time than I did the first. There is nothing lacking in this book, I just wished it never ended.
Rating:  Summary: Fantastic Book for Humanity Review: This book is one that really made me think long and hard about my life, the world we live in, how spiritually advanced we can become, and taught me a great deal about free will, and the choices we make in our lives. It covers so many topics in a manner that carries no judgment on us, and gives us all answers to the issues that have been bringing humanity pain from the beginning of the discord we have felt in religion, killing, love, suicide, ownership, ecology, you name it, this great book covers it. One of the best parts of this book is how easy it is to understand. Truth really doesn't need many words to convey simple and clear messages. I learned this book was written through Barbara Rose, and not "from" her. It is a message for humanity that deserves to be spread throughout every land, as it will help so many people by the answers it gives. It's a great read, and one that I re-read twice already. I highly recommend this book, as well as Ms. Rose's other book "individual power" especially if you have been through the mill in life, both books will really bring you a lot of answers. They did for me, and they have helped me more than I thought they could. They are both Excellent Books!!
Rating:  Summary: Divinely expansive truth Review: This is one book that I couldn't put down from word one and I wished it never ended. I learned much about how we are all viewed from the Divine, and was surprised at how much freedom and unconditional love we are given, which is why we all have free will and choice. Through this splendid book, we are given answers. Humanity has a true new path to follow, and it is the path that feels right to you in your heart. So many topics are covered, and so many answers are given from Earth, human cloning, research for AIDS, borders, answers for parenting, revamping our education policies, you name it and it's covered in simple language that is easy to understand and Divine at the same time. Highly recommended as a fantastic read and for the solutions it brings for meaningful and fulfilling life on Earth.
Rating:  Summary: Unconditional Love and Guidance Without Judgment Review: What I found most compelling about If God Was Like Man is that throughout the entire text, there is a "live and let live" theme, where humanity is asked to awaken to their own God-Self, no matter what path you choose to follow, while releasing all judgment of others.
This is a book that is needed most among the populous where judgment, control, victimization and pain can be transformed. The book is written in plain English coming from Divine Source, that provides succinct answers, sans the lofty language that would make for a difficult read.
If your life has been filled with pain, judgment, confusion, and you are looking for answers on a wide spectrum of topics, you will find them in this book.
If you are looking for more information concerning the topics in this book from Divine Source, you will definitely find them on Ms. Rose's website, www.borntoinspire.com, where the information is arranged according to topic. Be prepared to spend a day at that site, as it provides a plethora of answers, as does If God Was Like Man.
It is more than evident that Ms. Rose is here to help humanity rise on every level, and her work clearly comes from the heart, with information from God, Divine Source.
