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.

Because this material is channeled, it often reads like The Power of Now or A Course in Miracles--not a fast food book to be devoured in one sitting. Rather, this is a book to be read in passages, with a soothing gestation period in between. It includes much advice on working with energy and emotions as well as specific chapters on increasing prosperity, reclaiming health, working with meditation, and clearing clutter for clarity. For those who are onboard with the "Laws of Attraction" and the "Art of Receiving" that Abraham speaks of, this could be one of those deliciously mysterious books that you can open to any page and it seems to offer the exact advice or insight you need right now.--Gail Hudson

Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires by Esther Hicks is a book that will help you create a life you desire and according to the book desire is a good and natural force within us. The book explains that we are so frustrated because we have trouble knowing how to ask for what we want. This book will help you attract the life you want by matching the vibrational energy of one's desires.
If you are leaning toward a more spiritual way may I suggest a down to earth book on the miracle of God and who exactly He is, and what you will do in the after-life then I suggest you read a great book entitled "The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers: A Message for Everyone," by John H. Eagan. It brought me to tears. It's great and also deals with Jesus' Passion. I think if you liked Hicks' book you will love this book.

Ask and It Is Given is a must read from Ester & Jerry Hicks (The Teachings of Abraham.) It's an accompanying book to The Law of Attraction - The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham also by the authors through Abraham. The empowering parts of Ask and It Is Given are to be found in Part II of the book which are the processes. Definitely a well thought out and well communicated book for those interested in new thought understandings.

"Ask and It Is Given" goes far beyond "The Secret". Esther and Jerry Hicks shares with us the ins and outs of the Law of Attraction, describing in great detail how we work with our emotions to create the lives we desire. Simply put, reading this book felt like God's User's Manual.

I learned so much about the nature of reality from reading this book (and listening to CDs provided on their web site). My entire life has changed as a result of learning the teachings of Abraham, and I used specific techniques from "Ask and It Is Given" when I wrote my book, "Opening the Kimono". My book took me nine months to write, and I won a literary award and got an international distributor within three months of its launch. I directly attribute its success to the teachings of Abraham and the Hicks.

If you want to create great things, read this book and employ its techniques.

I've applied the process taught in the book for about two weeks and is feeling the changes of my job and life. Somehow/somewhere something is there to help me.

I give this book to everyone. The principle of the law of attraction have changed my life to a degree too great for words. It's like I always knew, but needed to be reminded. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, once you "get it" it will change your life too.
