Jabez was a real person. A man of faith. A man of prayer. A man whose name meant "pain." But 1 Chronicles 4: 9 tells us he was "more honorable than his brothers." And therein lies a tale.

And what happened next? In Jabez, Thom Lemmons lifts the veil of silence surrounding the life of this prayer warrior to tell a story of struggle and pain...of courage and honor...of hardship and brokenness...of faith and blessing. It's about a simple prayer. A complex man. And a life-changing encounter with God.
