mommapbs - My wife has just read Warren's "The Purpose-Driven Life" and put it on the huge stack of required reading for me. She reads everything she gets her hands on and keeps adding to the stack of books that I "simply must" read. I'm hopelessly behind and have long since abandoned hope of ever being able to wade through all those books. Just today she began "The Prayer of Jabez." That's where I draw the line! I don't intend to read it, although I know it will end up on the stack of my required reading. I've been a fairly dedicated reader all my life and have read a great deal indeed. But I can't keep up with my dear wife Dottie, bookworm extraordinaire! --Hank | ||||||

Hank-- I have to second your wife's reading recommendation on The Purpose-Driven Life. I'm about halfway through it, my whole church is reading it and discussing it in small groups. I started this whole process VERY skeptical - it sounded awfully gimmicky. I was wrong - it really is a powerful book, each chapter an eye-opener. Within my group are new and old Christians and both camps are finding their eyes being opened and their lives changing. (I know, I'm sounding like an ad for Rick Warren, but it really is good.) Put it at the top of your pile. On the Prayer of Jabez, suggest to your wife that she switch QUICKLY to the PRAYER of JESUS by Hank Hannegraaf!! Reilly |

Reilly1041 - My wife and I have met Rick Warren. He's impressive. .... On the Prayer of Jabez: Do you mean to tell me Hank Hannegraaf in his "Prayer of Jesus" has the temerity to compete with Jabez and Wilkinson! How brazen of him :-) --Hank | ||||||

I think comparing the "Prayer of Jabez" to the "Prayer of Jesus" says a lot about our society. "Jabez" (not that I've read it) sounds like a program by which one can try to manipulate God -- say this prayer and your prayers will be answered. "Prayer of Jesus" says the secret to prayer is secret prayer, in other words, you have to have a prayer life, you have to do it, not just read about, not just repeat some brief prayer from a book, but you have to pray to God. And which book is on the best seller list??? So sad!! |
