heavy at times, but worthy of any book shelf - By: Marshmallow, 14 Sep 2008 
I agree, not quite as worthy as `Ask & It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desiresby the same married couple of Esther & Jerry Hicks. This is a tad heavy at times & yet I still did like many parts of it. I do wish they had fully proofed this into English grammar from the Americanised twang, but it overcomes this with the spirit of good intention. I do not agree with the concept that what you have is what you deserved to get, as it reflects poorly on what is really meant. We attract what we think, & this book goes into great detail about that.
The law of attraction explained - By: Mr. S. Heap, 30 Aug 2008 
I loved this book, as it gives a practical understanding of the Law of Attraction' & it isn't as fluffy as 'The Secret'.
For maximum results read this book with 'Ask & It Is Given' which is also by Jerry & Esther Hicks.
It's no accident that you're reading this - By: Susan E. Finch, 14 Aug 2008 I loved this book. Ester & Jerry Hicks are a married couple who work together to give the world the wisdom of Abraham, spirit guides that Ester channels. Jerry poses the questions & Ester channels Abraham's answers. Abraham reveals that there are three universal laws which are all based on the belief that our thoughts create our reality. One of the laws I related toin particular was that of "intention". This law says our thoughts, combined with our emotions, have the power to affect our environment. This means we can choose to truly assist & uplift each other. Abraham speaks of living fullyin the momentin order to create the future we desire & that combing through our past doesn't enhance our present or future. As someone who spent yearsin therapy re-hashing the past without living a full & satisfying life, I totally agree.
Another book that speaks about living a full & satisfying life by livingin the now is How To Create a Magical Relationship by Ariel & Shya Kane. I found this enjoyable & profound book to be a wonderful complement to The Law of Attraction. The Kanes believe each one of us has stories about ourselves, a past that colors our present & future. If we can free ourselves from our past by being present, we can discover that each moment is fresh with infinite, glorious possibility. This includes caring for others & our environment. After reading their book I truly felt that what I do & think does indeed matter. We are creatures who have the power to create a magical life for ourselves. What a wonderful place to start giving to others from!
Buy "Ask and it is given" instead - By: Benedictus, 26 Jul 2008 
If you want to buy only one book of the Hicks tandem, I suggest "ask & it is given" instead.
This one is more an expansion which does not bring any new prospective.
I would suggest the purchase only if you are one of those persons (like me) who like reading the same things saidin a different way & don't mind spending a bit more to do it.
I would suggest that the reader also brings his own Christian prospectivein this books; if one leaves it aside it is amazing how many people (as easily verifiable on the internet) abuse of these books to delude themselves into being omnipotent beings or into justifying their every childish tendency.
Still: correctly understood & putin their right prospective, the book makes for an interesting reading & an integration to "Ask & it is given"
Law of Attraction Basics - By: Mags | Woo-Woo Wisdom, 01 May 2008 The Law Of Attraction is one of the later books written by Jerry & Esther Hicks containing the teachings of Abraham, a group of non-physical entities channelled by Esther. It is, however, a book that focuses on the basics of the teachings, & for that reason I'd suggest reading this one first if you are new to Abraham-Hicks' material.
If you have already read other books written by the Hicks, like The Amazing Power Of Deliberate Intent & Ask And It Is Given, you may find much of the informationin The Law Of Attraction repetitive, especially that containedin Part I which focuses on the Hicks' journey to channelling Abraham. Although Part II (The Law Of Attraction), Part III (The Science Of Deliberate Creation), Part IV (The Art Of Allowing), & Part V (Segment Intending) were largely familiar to me, I still found much of valuein them. Through a series of questions & answers, these sections did clarify quite a few aspects of the material for me & also gave a very thorough overview of Abraham's teachings.
The Law Of Attraction has often received criticism from those who have only watched The Secret & concluded that it is all about magical thinking & how to attract more material possessions into your life. If you want a good introduction to how the Law Of Attraction is so much more than this, & a more spiritual take on the principles, I would recommend that you start with The Law Of Attraction as well as look into other books published by the Hicks.
