Title: poor exegesis
Product review: For approximately 3500 years the Prayer of Jabez has been virtually ignored by scholars in both the Jewish and Christian communities. Now along comes Wilkinson who writes as if he has discovered some new secret to prayer. Jesus, in his introduction to the Lord's Prayer (Luke 11:2), said, "When you pray, say; ... ". This prayer was given to his followers as an example of how to pray. The Prayer of Jabez was given to Jabez only, no one else. Any attempt to make this prayer universal, especially when it comes to increasing one's borders, spiritual or not, is poor exegesis.
