    There are many prayers in the bible. One small and "difficult to locate" prayer was made famous through the best selling book "Prayer of Jabez". If we look beyond the skepticism and commercilisation of the book and the concept, there are some valuable les

    Last week we looked at Jesus' resurrection appearance to Mary. She went and told the Apostles but they didn't believe her. They were unwilling to believe that Jesus had risen from the dead unless they saw him with their own eyes. And see him they would!
