I hope you are sitting down . . .

Don't those words just communicate VOLUMES? "I hope you are sitting down."
Well, I hope you are because I just heard the news.
You heard it too, did'nt you?
In case you didn't, here it is:

Bruce Wilkinson's been holding out on you.

If you've purchased "The Prayer of Jabez", throw it out because apparently Bruce gives us the "new and improved" prayer of Jabez . . . either that, or those wide borders you've prayed for can simply be wider than they are. Wilkinson has just released his new book, "Beyond Jabez: expanding your borders."

Amazon's description includes these remarks: "This follow-up message discusses in greater detail the specific steps to take in making this scriptural passage part of your prayer life. For each of the prayer's four sections, Wilkinson explains important biblical distinctions, answers misconceptions about the prayer, offers practical steps to praying the prayer, and shows potential results in readers' lives. New content, exciting Jabez-inspired stories, and enriched commentary from Dr. Wilkinson make this a must-have for anyone who wants to live a world-changing life for God."

Oh. Ok.

Just came out in bookstores . . . just in time for those Easter presents.

You know, it's one thing to be dissatisfied with where you are with all that God has allowed you to have. It's another thing to pray to manipulate God to give you more with a magical prayer so you can be happier. But it's another thing altogether to say, "hey, I still don't have enough" or to "jump at the chance" to finally get that prayer right . . . in case God hasn't answered the last prayer of Jabez you've prayed. Yet.

If you really REALLY want to read something, why not check out Gary Gilley's book "I just wanted more land."

The Island-Fish

  “O ye passengers, whom may God preserve! come up quickly in to the ship, hasten to embark, and leave your merchandise, and flee with your lives, and save yourselves from destruction; for this apparent island, upon which ye are, is not really an island, but it is a great fish that hath become stationary in the midst of the sea, and the sand hath accumulated upon it, so that it hath become like an island, and trees have grown upon it since times of old; and when ye lighted the fire upon it, the fish felt the heat, and put itself in motion, and now it will descend with you into the sea, and ye will all be drowned: then seek for yourselves escape before destruction, and leave the merchandise.—The passengers, therefore, hearing the words of the master of the ship, hastened to go up into the vessel, leaving the merchandise, and their other goods, and their copper cooking-pots, and their fire-pots; and some reached the ship, and others reached it not. The island had moved, and descended...
