Friday is Book Day on the blog, when we take a look at books – old and new — that I highly recommend you not miss. This week’s recommended reading: Ask and It Is Given /Learning to Manifest Your Desires, by Esther and Jerry Hicks.
Here is an extraordinary book and the text that started the whole phenomenon now known as “the secret”! Ask and It Is Given presents the teachings of what authors Jerry and Esther Hicks say is…


…a nonphysical entity, Abraham, who is channeled by Esther. The messages here will help you learn how to manifest your desires so that you’re living the joyous and fulfilling life you deserve.
The book description on Amazon.com says, “As you read, you’ll come to understand how your relationships, health issues, finances, career concerns, and more are influenced by the Universal laws that govern your time/space reality—and you’ll discover powerful processes that will help you go with the positive flow of life. It’s your birthright to live a life filled with everything that is good—and this book will show you how to make it so in every way!”
I agree with that description, and I agree with nearly every word in this wonderful, uplifting, healing, and deeply inspiring book. In my experience there are no teachers on this planet more dedicated than Esther and Jerry Hicks — and no teachers who are more clear, either.
If you have wondered what “the secret” is all about, here are the modern day authors of it. Esther and Jerry have been on the road for nearly 20 years sharing the secrets of the Law of Attraction which were later used as the basis of the recent movie titled The Secret. It is fair to say that they single-handedly began this most recent revisiting of these ancient truths.
This text is perfect for anyone who is right now feeling a little low, not optimistic about life, or turning against him- or herself, who may be losing patience with the process that creates our daily experience — and losing faith in it as well. I could not recommend a more profound, inspiring, or totally empowering read.
Even if things are going swimmingly for you right now, the information in this book can move everything to the next level. If you have not read Ask and It Is Given run, don’t walk, to your computer, get on Amazon.com or one of the other online book stores and place this document of enlightenment in your hands within the next 48 hours. Or run to the book store near you and get it today. You will never, ever regret it.
