Ask and It is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires Paperback – October 1, 2004

is very good and easy to read

The best book ever!

This book had great practices to use in your daily life. I highly recommend it.

Really life changing book.

In this life I have been fortunate and blessed enough to encounter some truly amazing books (some I have written reviews of here at Amazon) and for that I am eternally thankful.This book however is somewhat unique. You could say that the wisdom this text offers the reader encompasses most of what I have read (of this genre) elsewhere, only here the presentation, order and format is not only VERY accessible, and very easy to grasp, but it fills in the gaps and expands upon the wisdom presented elsewhere. Whilst other works in this field might present pieces of the puzzle, here we are given the full box, with no missing pieces and easy to follow set of instructions. And what is the picture we are making? Happiness, bliss and well-being; a tranquil heart and a deeper understanding of life. You might say that this book is the sound from which the others became the echo; I thought they were sounds in their own right but not entirely.The essence of this book is that basically anything is possible if you align your self (your vibration) with the vibration of that which you want, the book uses many simple analogies and metaphors to explain clearly how you can go about doing this and to explain why we are not all meeting with the success which we are due. Surely once you have read this book a good deal more of the clouds will clear and the sun will shine brighter. You may realise that what you thought was the truth or reality (in terms of reaching your goals) can often be the opposite and that we most often drive away what is waiting for us.I am totally enamoured with this books, and here I must confess I am only half-way through. Why am I reviewing a half finished book? Well, because I feel that these teachings are SO special that everyone should read this book, and if I have a chance to help persuade the reader of this review then I'd like to share my views thus far, and then amend the review when I finish reading.A couple of things that intrigue me about this special book is that firstly I don't even remember buying it, nor know why I even bought it. You can see from my reviews some of the books I read and I suppose I ordered it with those? I don't recall... and because of its size and weight it sat on my shelf waiting for the thinner books to get read. Last week when they were all done I had a choice of two books (two that suit being read on a commuter train) and this one won - for no particular reason, other than it was slightly lighter... I wish I had read it sooner!One amazing thing about this text is that it makes me smile. That doesn't sound so amazing...? but I mean I am reading the pages on the train and I'm grinning madly at the joy, wisdom and love contained herein and people are looking at me like I'm crazy! HaHa, most amusing. But I have to confess, I haven't smiled this broadly for an age. With that in mind, I sincerely hope it brings the reader as much joy and happiness and clarity as it has brought me at this early stage. Thank you.

サラとソロモンシリーズの３冊（原書）を読んだ後に、大人向けの本も読んでみたくなり色々迷った結果これにしました。日本語訳の方がわかりやすいかと思いましたが、レビューに訳がよくないという意見が多かったので、こちらも原書を購入。日本語と英語のニュアンスの違いがあるので、そのまま日本語に当てはめるのはむずかしいですが、結構わかりやすいです。自分の感情のレベルによって使える具体的な２２の方法が提示してあります。ついついネガティブなものに注目してしまったり、ポジティブなことに注目しているつもりなのに、それはネガティブなものに注目していることになっているなど、あたらしい気づきが多くあります。少しづつ練習していけば上手になるのかな？自分の周りから文句やグチ、悪口を聞かされると、それも私が引き寄せてるのかと思い、ますます自分がどうありたいかを実感しています。

日本語訳の本、「運命が好転するスピリチュアルトレーニング」が評価が低かったため、原書を購入しました。わたしは英語を勉強中ですが、英語教材には興味のある文章が少なくてやる気が出なかったため、自分の興味のある分野を洋書で音読や読解用として購入しました。CDも同時購入です。結果大正解でした。英語のレベルはまだまだ途上ですが、英語が苦ではなくなってきました。先を読みたいという気持ちがあるからだと思います。本に直接、単語や熟語の意味を書き込んでいって、音読するということを今はやっています。CDはシャドーイングしようと思いますが、とにかく、しゃべるのが速い！！（とくにジェリー）今はまだ速くてついていけませんが、時間をかけて練習するつもりです。CDは本の内容をそのまま読み上げてくれていますのでとてもいいです。それから、この本がとくに英語教材に良いのかはわかりません。、興味のある分野の本が良いのだと思うので、引き寄せの法則をもっと読みたくて英語勉強したい人には英語教材になると思います。
