false 103610 24 Even well-versed Biblical scholars might be perplexed if asked about Jabez, a little-known man listed in 1 Chronicles, chapter 4. Yet his simple petition is the cornerstone of <I>The Prayer of Jabez</I> and has become a call to live a more "blessed life" for countless readers. <br><br> The prayer is a simple one: "And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, 'Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain.' So God granted him what he requested." <br><br> In an era where many Christians shy away from anything that smacks of "name it and claim it," author Bruce Wilkinson alleviates misgivings by putting the prayer into perspective. Wilkinson, founder and president of Walk thru the Bible Ministries and a popular speaker for Promise Keepers, writes in a persuasive, conversational style that will woo even the most cynical reader. He has used the Jabez prayer for more than 30 years, and testifies enthusiastically to the changes it has wrought in his own life. Wilkinson challenges readers to recite the Jabez prayer every morning and keep a record of the changes that occur. The power, he emphasizes, is not in the prayer itself, but "rather, the power is in what you believe will happen as a result of the prayer, and the action you take." Wilkinson makes a convincing case. --<I>Cindy Crosby</I> 99898 24 4 2000 The Prayer of Jabez: Breaking Through to the Blessed Life total:938|5:272|4:209|3:239|2:125|1:93| 938 3256 1182 134 1 4 false false Sat Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2002 Wed Sep 12 16:19:15 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 12 16:26:39 -0700 2007 more...]]> 0 2 false false Tue Jun 03 19:42:23 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 12 19:12:35 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 2 false false Thu Jul 31 12:37:50 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 31 12:42:02 -0700 2008 4 1 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Apr 03 06:45:04 -0700 2007 Mon Apr 09 05:53:12 -0700 2007
