This book, which was just released earlier this month, is already a best-seller. Esther Hicks presents the teachings of Abraham on how to allow our natural well-being to run our lives.

This powerful story of a guy who meets God has the wondrous feeling of a prayer and the integrity of a well-written poem. After the main character gets a note from God to meet him the shack where his sister was murdered four years earlier, he reluctantly decides to go, only to be suddenly transported back to the most dark and difficult time of his life. He wrestles with the question of God’s existence and nature, and in the end, is astounded by what he discovers and transformed forever. What a relief in today’s world of quickly-written, formula best-sellers to find a book that tackles such an important concept as the profoundly empowering nature of God and deals with it in such a compelling and painstakingly professional way!
