Serious logical and theological flaws

Bruce Wilkinson, founder of Walk Thru the Bible Ministries, has authored the very popular devotional book, "The Prayer of Jabez," based on an obscure passage in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10. Jabez's only mention in Scripture is here and only three things are mentioned about him: how he received his name, he prayed, God answered his prayer. In this book, Wilkinson argues that if one recites Jabez's 30-word (in English) prayer daily, he will receive large-scale blessings similar to those Jabez received. To support this thesis, Wilkinson cites the Biblical example of Jabez and relates anecdotal evidence, both from his own life and from the lives of his friends and acquaintances. ^M

The Prayer of Jabez

A short book full of great value.The prayer itself is one we can pray each day and has much impact on our earthly lives. A great book if you are considering a book to use for a devotional discussion or as for myself, a great personal read.

Prayer of Jabez

simple and easy to relate to life in general rather than only to the religious slant that it is presented from. I use it in business and with business clients.
