The Prayer of Jabez : Breaking Through to the Blessed Life by Bruce H. Wilkinson

Amazon.com
Even well-versed biblical scholars might be perplexed if asked about Jabez, a little-known man listed in 1 Chronicles, chapter four. Yet his simple petition is the cornerstone of The Prayer of Jabez and has become a call to live a more "blessed life" for countless readers.
The prayer is a simple one: "And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, 'Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain.' So God granted him what he requested."

In an era where many Christians shy away from anything that smacks of "name it and claim it," author Dr. Bruce Wilkinson alleviates misgivings by putting the prayer into perspective. Wilkinson, founder and president of Walk Thru the Bible Ministries and a popular speaker for Promise Keepers, writes in a persuasive, conversational style that will woo even the most cynical reader. He has prayed the Jabez prayer for more than 30 years, and his enthusiastic testimonial of the changes it has brought about in his own life is appealing. He challenges readers to pray the Jabez prayer every morning and keep a record of the changes that occur. The power, he emphasizes, is not in the prayer itself, but "rather, the power is in what you believe will happen as a result of the prayer, and the action you take." Wilkinson makes a convincing case.
