    A very nice, simple book. I am not saying this to be condescending, just pointing out the fact that the prayer is straightforward and there is not much weight to the theology behind the prayer -- which is good! I enjoyed it.
  • Prosperity Gospel?

    I read this little book a couple of times nearly a decade ago when it was extremely popular in the States. The Prayer of Jabez was a #1 New York Times Bestseller that attempts to show readers how to ask for a life of abundant impact and significance for God. Jabez was more honorable than his brothers and asked our Heavenly Father for territorial gain and spiritual blessing. There are over 500 names in 1 Chronicles, and only Jabez receives the special comment of a request being made and granted. Our Father wants to shower us with His gifts. We unlock change in our lives and in our world when we choose to do what He wants in His way. We simply need to ask. It should be noted that many conservative evangelicals (which could describe myself) feel Wilkinson's interpretation of 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 is a form of prosperity gospel. When I read this as a new believer years ago, I felt even then that this book treated the King of Kings almost like a genie in a bottle.
