The Prayer of Jabez

Dr. Bruce Wilkinson, president of Walk Thru the Bible Ministries, takes readers to 1 Chronicles 4:10 to discover how they can release God's miraculous power and experience the blessings God longs to give each of us. The life of Jabez, one of the Bible's most overlooked heroes of the faith, bursts from unbroken pages of genealogies in an audacious, four-part prayer that brings him an extraordinary measure of divine favor, anointing, and protection. Readers who commit to offering the same prayer on a regular basis will find themselves extravagantly blessed by God, and agents of His miraculous power, in everyday life.

Notice:

Not NECESSARILY recommended by CBC. God does not always give us what we want. He gives us what He knows we need. That is not always what we pray for.

I have not read the book, so will withhold my recommendation till afterwards, but a couple sentences I saw while skimming it makes me a little cautious of it: "I want to teach you how to pray a daring prayer that God always answers." "Do you want to be extravagantly blessed by God?" and "(This) remarkable prayer...can release God's favor, power, and protection."
