Title: True premise, poor delivery
Review: There's not doubt in my mind that Wilkinson's Prayer of Jabez is on theologically shakey ground (which is why I was interested in reading this book). However, so is the smarmy sarcasm of this author in response to Wilkinson's errors. Clearly from scripture we are to confront false teaching but it is to always be tempered by the fruit of the Spirit. Sarcasm is not listed in my Bible as part of the fruit of the spirit. Straightforward apologetics is certainly called for in the face of false teaching but to build a ministry around sarcastic parody is quite frankly not Christlike. The author also obviously has some theological axes to grind beyond what is covered in the Prayer of Jabez which come through in this little ditty as well.
Is the review positive or negative?
