Spiritual seekers probably have a list of books they cherish for life. Some of these books have been responsible for huge “a-ha” moments with their magical words, which fill us with inspiring discoveries that touch our souls.

I’ve read many books on meditation, New Age, and energy healing methods.

“I AM” is the essence of life, the “God in action” in every individual. The powerful force that connects us all — and where no discordant energy shall exist.

There are explanations of different themes in this beautiful book, but the repetition of the “I AM” affirmations are life-changing for many people. In times of trouble, fear, doubt, uncertainty, some of these words can…
