Subject: More thoughts on the prayer of Jabez? |
Bible Note: I read the book the Prayer of Jabez this morning. All in all, the book is pretty good. The thrust of the message is asking God to use you. The author explains how he graduated from Dallas Theological Seminary and wasn't sure how God wanted to use to use him. He prayed the Prayer of Jabez and God has opened doors beyond his wildest dreams. He started and is the president of Walk Through the Bible (which in itself is excellent). While the message of the book is solid it can easily be abused, as I said before the whole thing can quickly become a Talisman. |
