For almost 20 years Jerry and Esther Hicks have been presenting workshops, producing tapes and writing books to help people create the life they desire. And desire is no small word in this agenda. According to the teachings of "Abraham"--a collective name for the spiritual entities that are channeled through Esther--desire is a good and natural force within us. In fact, we are all here to fulfill our desires, according to Abraham. Yet the reason so much of us feel frustrated, is that we have difficulty knowing how to ask and receive whatever we want to be, do or have.

Although Jerry and Esther are listed as the authors, Ask and It Is Given is actually a collection of channeled messages from Abraham. Fans of Abraham and the Hicks may not find new information, but will probably be delighted to have an inspiring, updated book that speaks to the familiar conversation of attracting the life we want. Newcomers may also be intrigued by this excellent, in-depth discussion on how to change one’s life by matching the vibrational energy of one’s desires--taking the power of positive thinking to a whole new level.

Ask and it is Given: Learning to Manifest your desires

This is an excellent learning tool. Esther and Jerry Hicks are unlike most motivational type lecturers; they don't just regurgitate wisdom, they teach you how to go about reaching the level necessary to achieve what you desire.

If you are a Wayne Dyer fan, and have appreciated what he has to say, this book will teach you how to "get there". This will definitely kick it up several notches for you.

This is an excellent resource, one that you will want to hold on to and reread time after time.

A good faith-builder

ASK AND IT IS GIVEN: LEARNING TO MANIFEST YOUR DESIRES by Esther and Jerry Hicks is a marvelous book and so very reassuring. If you have prayed and felt your prayers might not get higher than the ceiling, read this different approach that helps you KNOW your prayers, hopes, and dreams are being answered right now in the very right way. All you must do is really practice faith, just as the Bible and other religious books have always told us. But this puts it in lay language and easy to understand and practice and watch for your own signs that you are loved and protected and your prayers are always heard and answered. A good faith-builder in an unusual way.

Wish I had it ten years ago!....

I really wish this book was out when I was in my 20's. It offers such simple truths, yet was quite an impact on me. This is what all other self-help books try to convey, but just miss the mark. We create our own destiny and this book shows us ways to make that happen, financially, spiritually, mentally, you name it! This book is worth it's weight in gold. I've only had it a month, and I can already see a difference in my life and my whole outlook. I've only done a few of the processes in the back. I'm having fun doing the Prosperity Game and the Book of Positive Aspects one. Just try it and you'll see!
