The Prayer of Jabez for Women

Beautifully written book from the wife of famous author Bruce Wilkinson. I am using the book as a daily devotional as it is easily broken down into small segments.

I found this book to be insightful, though not quite as good as Secrets of the Vine (written by her husband, Bruce). Darlene Wilkinson gives the Prayer of Jabez a slightly different spin, putting her perspective on it. But beware of several items: 1) this is written from her perspective, so don't presume that all she says will apply or even make sense from yours; and 2) asking for God to enlarge your territory doesn't necessarily mean make you rich. I noticed a few other reviewers of Bruce Wilkinson's book thought that it meant make me rich. I took it to mean, make me more effective for Your kingdom, Lord, by taking me out of my comfort zone (my territory). Just as King Solomon prayed for wisdom and God, because He was pleased with his request, made him the richest king of all time, so with Jabez. The very same day I began my 30 day trial (I am still in it, by the way), God granted my wish by opening a position at my church for me to minister through serving. The Lord has truly blessed me through this prayer. It is 100% effective if you keep your eyes open and don't expect physical riches. For me, the riches I am seeking are those to be found in my eternal home. Though I'm not going to turn down any earthly riches if that is God's plan!

A wonderful read from a women's perspective and a fantastic and inspiring book that takes you on a journey of learning how to pray the bold prayer that God always answers. The book was uplifting, inspiring and thought provoking. The author teaches us a simple way of praying that God will answer. One sentence in four parts found in the book of 1st Chronicles.I loved the real-life experiences she used to illustrate her many points. God does truly bless us if we will allow Him to open our eyes, heart and hands to receive all the blessings that He has in store for us. He will transform our life and thus enrich our relationship with Him.Since reading the book, I have taken up the challenge and made it an integral part of my daily devotional life.

Since my friends know that I am a believer in the "Prayer of Jabez" book and prayer, a friend who found "the Prayer of Jabez for Women" book in a thrift store , bought it and quickly sent it to me. I was overjoyed to receive this gift. I was amazed that there were many areas of the prayer that I had not thought of. I am grateful that Darlene Wilkinson asked God to expanded her territory by taking the original book of Jabez and addressing the unique needs of women in her book. Since I have been mailing the original book to many friends and business associates, I had to order this book and mail it to some of the women recipients. Thank Amazon for carrying these books.

I recommend this book highly for any woman - young or adult. I read it as a daily devotional in order to absorb the full benefit of its meaning and message. I plan to read it again and have purchased a copy for a Christmas gift.

I read the parent book, The Prayer of Jabez, over 15 years ago, and have been praying the prayer ever since. I am amazed at how many people I run into who have also read and loved the book. I wanted another perspective, and as a woman, was drawn to this little gift. I highly recommend it for everyone who has struggled with wanting to live big for God, but had been discouraged. This will pick up your spirits and recharge your batteries. There are real life stories for real life women of all ages!

A must read for Christian women of all ages. It encourages us as believers to take that leap of faith, like Jabez, expecting great things from God, beyond our asks and desires. The book is easy to read, but must be digested slowly, so that its teachings and their impact are fully appreciated.

Bought as a gift

I bought the 'study guide' version, thinking it would be the book plus some study questions, but no: it's ONLY TEN PAGES worth of questions, it's a 'leaflet' not a book! I've now had to order the actual book AS WELL (which is 96 pages), so I can actually study the Prayer of Jabez. Now, I've read the original by Bruce Wilkinson, and I thought it was very inspirational, and I'm sure Darlene's book for women will be great too...but this 10-page 'study guide' really disappointed me, I was expecting something a little more substantial!Added later: I've now got the actual book I thought I'd get in the first place, and I must say, it's a good read! More accessible for women,there's a lot of examples of what women experienced while praying the prayer of Jabez and how you can adapt it to your own circumstances. Great as a gift!

I have really enjoyed this book very much. I read the original Prayer of Jabez many years ago.The studies at the end of the book are extremely beneficial, and highly recommended.What I have done is, read the book, then typed in all the questions onto my laptop, and re read each chapter and only then started doing the study. It has been incredibly insightful to me.I have no hesitation in recommending this little gem to one and all.

I ask myself why this little hard-backed book did not attract me as much as its predecessor.Perhaps I expected more than it had to offer. there was a sameness about it which was not inspiring. on impact.

I bought it for my friend birthday she love it.

A great book. Can relate to some of the examples that Darlene uses. Half way through it, would reccomend to friends and family especially if they want to understand Jebez prayer.
