Is the content compelling: Absolutely! It is a prayer by an obscure person in the lineage from Judah to King David who prayed that God would bless him, enlarge his territory, and keep him safe from harm by the evil one. It is found in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, where it tells us that God honored this prayer. Is it a good value: A book by a Biblical scholar of Bruce Wilkinson's stature that gives us such insight into talking with God for under $10 is by the very definition of the phrase, 'a good value'. Do I recommend it: Wholeheartedly!

This book is on the same level of superiority as "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. As a Christian man, I was extremely motivated by the book. At a time when many Americans are worried about the economy, the incoming administration and other issues, this book has enabled me to rise to newer levels of faith, peace and confidence in our savior, Jesus Christ. The book is written so that it flows well, is easy to read, and is one of those writings that the reader just can't put down until he is finished. It is my prayer to be able to purchase several cases of this book and distribute them to all that I know and also to overseas missions that I have worked with. I most strongly recommend this book!!! Bravo to Mr. Wilkerson for his outstanding work.
I bought the book for a gift because I received it as a gift. It is one of THE BEST books I have ever read. I have been quoting the prayer since June and have seen tremendous blessings in my life. Blessings to family members, our first swimming pool, new job etc. Someone tried to break into my vehicle and was caught before they got in. So many blessings that there is not enough room to mention. The author is very easy to read and down to earth. It relates to today's world and our future for tomorrow. I challenge you to read this book and start today quoting the prayer. Do this for 30 days and just see if the windows of heaven will not be opened up for a blessing so BIG you'll hardly be able to contain it! I highly recommend this to anyone be it a new christian or a lifetime follower of our Lord and Saviour!Read full review

This is a great little book. If you choose to read it, read the whole book. Just don't set it down and leave it and yourself hanging. It took me three sittings, but I read it all. If you stop mid book, you'll really not finish understanding the prayer of Jabez. I admire the author for suggesting that you read it more than once. It's really not that long, and easy reading if you let him talk to you and don't struggle with it. One, thing, page 25 - there is no "catch" to receiving God's blessings. No secret, just the way, the truth, and the light.
A must read. So much inspiration for those who need guidance in their prayer life. One of a kind, and I have read many inspiration books, but this one reveals what God has for us, that we fail to ask for. Full of blessings on every page.

Absolutely love this book. Read it 3 times and use it as a reference for sharing with others. It is easy to read and understand. Provides spiritual insight and encourages me to grow in the Lord. This is my second copy because I gave the first away to someone in a low spot in life. I pray that he read it. Am reading Secrets of the Vine by Bruce Wilkinson which I purchased in a lot of 3 and find it to be a good book as well. Get your own copy and read it at least twice.
Purchased book as a gift. Read years ago and thought book was very interesting, insightful and hey. You can’t loose if this is a book you choose to read!

I loved this book! It has definitely expanded my view of prayer, and motivated me to have a more consistent prayer life. Very easy to read, and short enough that even if you are not an avid reader you won't be overwhelmed. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to deepen their faith and personal relationship with God. Read the principles and follow them - and your life is bound to change. The Power of God is AWESOME! Katrina Katscollectiblesnmore
I decided to purchase this book because a friend of mine challenged me to read it and accept God's gifts. I have read all but the last chapter just because it is so overwhelming to read. It makes a lot of sense about all we need to do is ask God for more and he will provide it for us. I am a little scared to finish the book because this is where I would have to say the prayer and ask for more and right now I don't feel that I am strong enough to accept what God has in store for me. I'm being quite selfish, but I plan on reading the ending very soon and handing my life completely over to God for him to guide me.
