Don, if you are new to Abraham, I recommend reading their quarterly journals (in addition to their books). You can find them here. Choose the Newsletters (actually try the other categories too) from the drop-down list on top. These articles were my first introduction to Abraham, and made me decide to buy "Ask and it is given".

You can also get a free online download of their CD "Introduction to Abraham". It gives the history of the whole thing, and summarizes their main teachings.

I also attended one of their Art of Allowing workshops (costs $150) at Sedona, AZ. It was a very valuable experience. Abraham always seems to find a better way to present the same stuff that it is in the book. After a one hour talk, they answer questions from the audience on the issues they have in their lives, or about anything. For example, in this particular workshop, some of the questions were:
* Do aliens exist? (The answer is yes. But it is much longer than that.)
* [From a mother of five kids] How to bring up kids without trying to discipline them all the time, but allow them to have fun?
* [From a Mormon person] How to reconcile teachings of Abraham with what he still believed from his Church?
* [From a woman whose husband had what she called "a death wish"] I'm sick of taking care of him. Should I leave my husband?
* [From an overweight woman] I've tried all kinds of stuff, but it didn't work. How exactly can I use your teachings to help me lose weight?

In my opinion, if you like the books, listening to the audio of their past workshops would be very useful (I think it costs about $50 per recording)?

It is hard (for me) to convey in words why I am so impressed with Abraham. It just feels "right". I'd recommend getting into this gradually, with as least investment of time and money as you are willing, starting perhaps with the online resources and the book.
