This book is about being a conscious creator of your life, how to use thoughts, beliefs and emotions to create the circumstances and events of your life. The material is empowering and powerful and the exercises really work, I have used them in my life and professionally. This book can truly be a great resource if you are ready to allow yourself what you really truly want.

If you don't own previous works of abraham-hicks, this book is great. Yet if you own books or recordings, or frequent their website, this book propably will not offer you anything new. The same processes that we got to know in "Ask and It Is Given" are again presented here, with new examples.

Personally I find the two first books of Abraham and Hicks the best A New Beginning I and II, their material comes alive when in dialogue with people and their problems or wishes.

This is a how-to book. If you are interested in a resource that gives you a more in-depth version of why this works, The Nature of Personal Reality by Jane Roberts is a great complement to this one.

Perhaps in contrast to some other reviewers, I really find "The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent" to be more impressive than "Ask and It Is Given". This book feels richer in some way, particularly in the first half where Abraham expands on the principles of manifestation in a way I've never read anywhere before.

I feel Abraham's real emphasis in this book is on the necessity of a person finding vibrational alignment with their inner being (higher self, etc) in order for our beautiful desires and thoughts to flow through into our lives as actual manifestations. While "Ask and It Is Given" is truly wonderful (and I think the more important book to read first for those just discovering this information), this book represents a real evolution of some of the key concepts. It feels like a deeper work to me somehow, and I find myself returning to its pages frequently throughout the day.

I agree that some of the exercises may seem repetitious, but I believe this is intentional; by exposing us to real-world situations (and ones that nearly all of us have experienced at some time), it makes the entire process of deliberate creation a more understandable one. It's as though the first book is the basic reference text, and this one is a kind of "Advanced Applications of..." sequel. Read it and you'll see what I mean.

So in essence, the first book has all one needs to create the life of their dreams -- but this book makes the process so much deeper, supportive and illuminating. What more can one say, but - "Thank you Abraham!".
