The Elephant Talks to God

The Elephant Talks to God is an endearing collection of whimsical tales in which a young elephant forages for answers to that age-old existential puzzle: What is the meaning of life? In this new edition of Dale Estey's best-selling book, this pachyderm philosopher asks questions and God answers — sometimes cryptically, sometimes humorously but always with love and patience.
The answers unfold in a series of conversations between this humble, though occasionally impertinent, beast and the Almighty. The free-ranging exchanges between the two include contributions from popes, missionaries and various monkeys, birds and insects. This sweet, sometimes satirical, and occasionally moving story will appeal to readers of all ages. The book includes most of the original stories from the popular 1989 collection as well as many new ones.
Original, fresh and unsentimental, The Elephant Talks to God belongs on the bookshelves of anyone who, just like the inquisitive elephant, has ever wondered about life, love and the true nature of happiness.

The Elephant Talks to God

I don't take this lightly when I say this may be one of the best philosophical-driven books I have ever read! 🤩 The Elephant Talks to God by Dale Estey asks hard-hitting questions such as the meaning of life and the perception of love that makes you look at the gift we call life in a completely different way.

Throughout this novel, we follow this elephant that experiences all walks of life and learns lessons along the way. God leads him through this journey as a companion and teacher. I enjoyed the way God was perceived, as humous yet stern, wise yet playful.

If you are looking for a book that makes you question the littlest things in life, that makes you feel enlightened after reading and overall a beautifully crafted book, I HIGHLY recommend The Elephant Talks to God by Dale Estey!

I recommend this book.

The Elephant Talks to God

The title explains a bit of the story, an elephant does indeed talk to God, and God talks back! And from what I’ve understood in the book, whenever the elephant wants to talk with God, God is there! Which is super cool-and true to the real world. But in the book, God doesn’t directly appear to the elephant, God kind of shape-shifts into something, and then that something is what the elephant can talk to. Most of the times God is a cloud or a boulder that loves to teach this curious elephant life lessons. The elephant probably lives in Africa, or somewhere where you would find elephants, but is doesn’t directly say that, he’s an elephant, he doesn’t know geography! This book is perfect for anyone! It really can fit into lots of genres, and it’s quite an adventure 😊✨


My favourite quote from the book is:
Do not overestimate death, it is a transition not an end”

I recommend this book.
