5.0 out of 5 stars These Are My Goals:, August 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Prayer of Jabez: Bible Study (Paperback)

Who hasn't wanted to communicate with God better? Well, I have, and now I am able to after reading this small, delight- ful book by Dr. Bruce Wilkinson. It is not preachy, dull or long. In a short time, you can read the whole book, and find yourself hungry to know what the author is talking about. So you keep on reading it over and over and finally you start to get it! Then you make copies of the Prayer and tape them on your bathroom mirrors to remind you. Then you start praying this prayer every morning and evening. Pretty soon it is in your sub- conscious and you are praying all day long when something comes up. This is so great! What more could you want than to be in touch with your Heavenly Father? Well, so try it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Challenge to Discipleship, February 20, 2001

By 

Mike Coe (atlanta, ga usa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Prayer of Jabez: Bible Study (Paperback)

This is a must read for every Christian! I was introduced to this book at a men's prayer breakfast. A man stood up and testified to the power of this prayer. He highly recommended this book. I bought a copy and read it over a couple of days during carpool time. It challenges the reader to pray Jabez' prayer asking for God to bless me + expand my territory + keep me from evil that I might not cause pain. What a terrific prayer! Bruce illustrates the parts of the prayer with explanations and illustrations of how it's worked in his life. I now pray this every day, resting in the knowledge that God will answer this prayer with exciting opportunities and blessings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Criticism answered, August 23, 2001

By

This review is from: The Prayer of Jabez Bible Study Leader's Edition (Paperback)

First, let me say that I found the book, "Prayer of Jabez", very inspiring. So much so that I have read it six times. Using the devotional and the original book, I led a morning bible study for five days that everyone participating enjoyed greatly. Our church in in the midst of using the book for an eight week Sunday night study.

As for the criticism voiced in "Mistake-ridden", I can only say that the Bible Study and Leaders Guide were probably rushed to press without taking necessary time to check out all the references. The Jude reference mentioned is obviously Judges.

All other thoughts aside, it is wonderful to see a Christian book capture the attention of so many readers that it have been on the best seller lists as long as Jabez has. I might add that "Secrets of The Vine" is better than Jabez, and I look for great blessings from it.
