Title: A Poor Effort
Product review: As a fan of Bruce Wilkerson (having used some of his other material), I am very disappointed with this effort. Bruce should know better. Exhorting Christians to copy one of the most self-centered prayers of a tragic Old Testament character, is a mistake. That the book has commercially prospered and spawned an entire 'Jabez' franchise in our shallow, self-centered, Christian pop culture is hardly a surprise. The theology represented in this book will only fly in propserous Western cultures. The book appeals to the absolute worst element in all of us . . ."how to get the 'secret' key to prosperity". The Prayer of Jabez is little more than warmed over, self-improvement, pop psychology dressed in Christian lingo. Avoid this book. If you want self-improvement, get the real thing and buy from Tony Robbins or Dale Carnegie.
