Title: Theologically Devastating
Product review: A bestseller does not necessarily a Christian classic make. Consider the following points:1. If this is a great secret to prayer, then why is it buried in one verse in a genealogy of the Old Testament?2. The book violates the number #1 rule of sound exegesis: A verse cannot mean something today that it didn't mean to the original hearers.3. When the disciples asked Jesus how to pray He surprisingly didn't refer to Jabez. If this interpretation were true, wouldn't Jesus have mentioned it???4. Our problem as the Bible defines it is SIN. Not a need for blessing.5. Didn't Jesus comment on mantra-like repetitions?The botton line: You can't grab one verse in a genealogy and formulate a doctrine around it. This violates all sound theological practice. Save your money or spend it on sound teaching.
