 The Prayer of Jabez: Breaking through to a blessed life September 21, 2008
This book is great no matter what condition it is in. Next to the Bible and The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren, it is one of the best books I've ever read and I buy it for people who are looking for dramatic changes in their life. This is one of the books that will do just that. I recommend the Bible study that is a companion to this book.
Just be careful who you buy it from if you're looking for a "new" one
Good Words... September 8, 2008
If you believe, it serves its purpose. If you are trying to believe, read the book. If you absolutely don't believe, then I would save your money for now...
It liked it.
 The prayer of Wilkinson not the prayer of Jabez! August 26, 2008
I could not find ANYTHING in this little misleading book that was in line with either the specific words,
OR the spirit of the entire New Testament. Most of the emphasized portions of this book directly
contradict the Bible. Much of the teaching contained in this book is false, misleading, and attempts to refute
the very words of Jesus.
Jesus taught us to be satisfied not only with our daily bread, but even with asking
for our daily bread, on a daily basis. I think it is truly a shame that Christians in the richest country in the
world would be so distracted by a simplistic ploy to seek riches rather than the kingdom of God!
This is especially true while so many Christians are starving around the world. How will Christians explain
their Jabezic pursuit of riches by endlessly and repeatedly praying for more and more while Christians are
at this moment being herded into huts and being burned alive?
Are we to believe that all the starving people in the world are starving because of their own personal sin?
The claim that "the only that can break the cycle of abundant living is sin" is absolutely false and directly
contradicts the entire book of Job.
The claim that "the only thing that can break the cycle of abundant living is sin" is absolutely false and directly contradicts the entire book of Job (not to mention several books in the N.T.).
Job was not just more righteous than his brothers like Jabez, Job was the most blameless, righteous and upright man on the entire planet, yet his "abundant living" was severely "broken"! This is an example of end-time preaching where selfish people gather to themselves someone willing to tell them what their itching ears want to hear.
CLEARLY the "Prayer of Jabez" book and the Bible are at opposite ends of the spectrum regarding this teaching!
Tape this divisive little book closed (to protect innocent eyes), and use it for a coaster, or to balance your
dining room table. To do otherwise will lead you astray!
Jesus describes the reality of being hungry, thirsty, naked, and a stranger but He told us to feed, clothe, and welcome others. He made no mention of sin, or praying to "expand our borders", or to pray for a "larger cup"!
If your cup runneth over, do NOT pray for a larger cup, share what is in your cup with others!
Matthew 25:32-46
All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
?Then the King will say to those on his right, ?Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. Then the righteous will answer him, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?" The King will reply, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.? " Then he will say to those on his left, "Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me."
They also will answer, "Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?? ?He will reply, ?I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.? ?Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

Transform Your Perception of God July 29, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you have ever been exposed to a negative image of God, then you must read this book. This book will change your perception and you'll find a kind, loving God who wants everything good to come to you. The practice of asking God for what you want is encouraged in a prayer that will change your life. The belief that God wants everything positive for your life transcends off the pages into your heart. Bruce examines the belief that giving to others will make your life abundant and fulfilled. Have faith, ask God and believe. After reading this book, you know God has answers and miracles just for you.
