Bruce Wilkinson also wrote The Prayer of Jabez. In this book, he reminds us that we are here to be a link between earth and heaven. A simple concept, but my experience has been that few Christians would say this is why God has me on earth. We miss the mark on the real purpose of life.
This book refreshed my soul in that it brought focus that I had lost in being available and aware of everyday miracles by making myself open to serving others throughout the day. I think I was much more conscious of that as a new Christian than I am now. The author welcomes each of us to Everyday Miracle Territory.
Wilkinson gives some practical steps to help us respond to God on a daily basis, however I found he overcomplicated the matter in my opinion – Four Keys to a Life of Miracles, Five Signals That Guide Miracle Delivery, Three Keys to Special Delivery Miracles. I got lost even though the book is not hard to read.
One concept that was very inspiring was the God Pocket. He encourages Christians to set aside an amount of money (maybe $20) that they always keep tucked away in the billfold or pocketbook. That money is to be used in the lives of others as needs present themselves. He told the story of feeling led to leave all $20 as a tip for a waitress. She came to him before he left in tears explaining that she was a single parent and had prayed God would provide the money she needed for medicine for her ill child.
I liked this book. It could have been shorter but that could be said of most books I read.
