I feel the same way Mviara does. It's hard to convey in words why I like the Abraham materials so much, but they are the main reason I'm where I'm at today.
I just got The Law of Attraction, Abraham-Hicks' latest book, but I haven't read it yet. I love Ask and It is Given - the processes have been amazing for me. When I first read the Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent, I wasn't that impressed with it, but I've found that over time, it's actually one of those books that I reread now and I get something new out of it each time.
I subscribe to their weekly workshop CDs (if you're interested in their work, I would highly recommend their CDs), and they uplift me beyond words. At their workshops, people get into the "hot seat" to ask questions, and the answers just flow. I attended my first workshop in San Antonio this past September, and it was wonderful.
I had actually been familiar with the Abraham materials for quite a while but my main problem was getting over the idea of channelling, too. If you look at it all from the viewpoint of quantum physics - that we're all energy - I think it's easier to get over feeling funny that the information is channelled. Because if we're all energy, and we're all connected, then a group of entities like Abraham doesn't feel so strange at all.
Of course, that's all well and good to approach it from the point of energy, but actually, for me, well, I got over the idea of channelling when my little sister passed on last summer. If you had asked me before that, I would have said yes, I believe that our spirits survive physical death but you know, I wasn't really sure. But afterwards, I just knew. And so the whole channelling thing was no longer a problem.
I seem to recall that Abraham was on a radio program or something, and someone called in, very upset at the idea of channelling, and brought up the Bible, and Abraham said, "Well, how do you think the Bible was written?"
