Pros: Offers inspiration for creating and maintaining daily prayer pattern.
Cons: A minor serving of biblical prayer content.
Summary: Power of prayer…. Aw….. or… Awe…
I will be one of the firsts to stand up and shout with victory for the power within prayer of those who believe! Being rather curious, I was lured into acquiring a copy of The Prayer of Jabez: Breaking...

Pros: message, inspirational to a point
Cons: length, mantra prayer
Summary: I had no idea what I was in for when I picked up this small hardcover book that one of my friends had given me, along with Secrets of the Vine, for Christmas this past year. All she told me was that “these books are powerful” and “you ...

Pros: An interesting, easy-to-read primer on prayer drawn from an unusual source.
Cons: Book is shrouded in unnecessary controversy; reduces prayer to a ritual rather than a lifestyle.
Summary: I’m not one to read a book just because it’s trendy. Truth be told, I don’t read nearly as many books as I wish I did. So it should come as no surprise that when buzz started to arise a few years back about a little volume called The...

Pros: A concise breakdown on what one aspect of prayer and blessings are about.
Cons: If read sloppily, then "give me give me" attitude will slip in.
Summary: The Prayer of whatchamacallit???
So there I was two years ago, reading some articles on the internet and then I came across the Prayer. There seemed to be a lot of hype around a new book that just came out, but as...

Pros: Could help inspire to pray
Cons: Focuses more on prayer by repeating rather than heartfelt prayer
Summary: After hearing so much about this "wonderful" book, I was disappointed when I finally gave in and got my copy of it. I was expecting this wonderful book and instead found a lesson on being selfish in asking God for something instead of learning to trust...

Pros: Written so that every reader can gain understanding and knowledge!

Summary: The book, "The Prayer of Jabez:Breaking Through to the Blessed Life," is based on the actual prayer of Jabez. The book is written more as a guideline and actually teaches you how to focus on the Prayer of Jabez. It actually teaches you to pray the...

Pros: The book was very informative and to the point. It was also easy to read.
Cons: The only problem I had was that the book was not long enough! :^)
Summary: I don't know where to begin but the book was a blessing in itself! I had been having some difficult times in the past couple years. I knew that I wasn't living a life that God wanted for me. I asked God to come into my life, not realizing He had...

Summary: It is fair and accurate to say that God loves us deeply and has deep generosity with us... he has a plan that includes all of humanity and, knowing all our needs and desires before the foundation of the earth, he is certainly able to acommodate our...

Pros: It's a cloud no larger than a man's hand - so far
Cons: Pernicious, vicious, ill-written and un-Christian
Summary: Yes, I did say 'damned nonsense,' precisely as C. S. Lewis would have done ('damned nonsense, and nonsense that can damn the soul'). This appalling book ought be counted lucky I said anything that mild.
The General...

Cons: open to individual interpretation (a good thing), which makes it easy to misunderstand the message

"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,

and that Your hand would be with me,
and that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain!"
but its...
