Representaion In Favor Of Books The Prayer of Jabez: Breaking Through to the Blessed Life
Dr. Bruce Wilkinson, president of Walk Thru the Bible Ministries, takes readers to 1 Chronicles 4:10 to discover how they can release God's miraculous power and experience the blessings God longs to give each of us. The life of Jabez, one of the Bible's most overlooked heroes of the faith, bursts from unbroken pages of genealogies in an audacious, four-part prayer that brings him an extraordinary measure of divine favor, anointing, and protection. Readers who commit to offering the same prayer on a regular basis will find themselves extravagantly blessed by God, and agents of His miraculous power, in everyday life.

How to butcher the Bible with one easy verse3 December 2011 Okay, this is a very short book, but I tell you what, you can get more out of watching paint dry than actually reading this book. Somehow I get the impression that Wilkinson prayed the prayer in this book, decided to then write a book about how it works, and made a mint doing so. In these days of instant gratification a small book that takes five minutes to read is going to be much more popular than a book that actually addresses issuesThis book is a maddening simplification of prayer - at best. I wish I had the chops to really tear apart his theology, which basically treats prayer as a means to personal success. He may state that prayer is to ultimately accomplish Gods will, but in this book it seems that is always equivalent to our prosperity. He pays lip service to some of the more complex questions about prayer by stating (once!) that you must be prepared for whatever way God chooses to answer your prayers, but only gives
Picked up a cheap copy somewhere. In his review of this book, Doug Wilson says that it's not as bad as many people say. He's right. There's not even a whisper of materialism here; it's certainly no "name it and claim it" book. Tim Challies's review is just bad.6: "ask God for the world"Preface7: Jabez's prayer is one sentence with four partsChapter 1: Little Prayer, Giant Prize9: Wilkinson went to seminary in Dallas9-10: a gimper is someone who goes beyond expectations13: Jabez appears as a
I read this book about 10 or 12 years ago when my pastor at the time gave me a copy to read. At that time it seemed like everyone in the church was into Jabez and the book was passing hands like hot potatoes... but I guess I was a bit the odd ball because I just didn't like it. As one author put it so well:"For Wilkinson, the prayer of Jabez has become the secret to success in every endeavor. God is viewed as a butler who responds in a mechanical manner when certain words are recited."The book
I received this little book for Christmas from a friend. It's a quick and easy read. It's based on a couple verses in the Bible (1 Chronicles 4:9-10) about a man named Jabez and a prayer he gave. He uses the New King James Version and the verses go like this: 9 Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez,saying, Because I bore him in pain. 10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that
This is not the first time that I have read this book, but it is worth being read multiple times. The prayer of Jabez itself is relatively short. This book is also short yet it is full of wisdom and insight and, yes, remarkable. Breaking Through to the Blessed Life is a good subtitle. I had not previously submitted a book review or rated The Prayer of Jabez, so as I was 'once again' reading the inspirational writing, I decided to do so.
A dear friend gave me this book, and I'm grateful for the thoughtfulness. But I wouldn't say that this is the best Christian book I've ever read. "Two stars" might be generous on my part. I have a lot of issues with Wilkinson's doctrines. There's a big emphasis on "health and wealth gospel" here amongst many other wrong teachings. While there are some key truths about prayer within the book, it is full of exaggerations and false assumptions about God's response to our prayers. I took away what I
