Description

When Jesus' disciples asked him for help with prayer, he gave them a beautifully simple but spiritually profound outline known as the Lord's Prayer. This utterly extraordinary prayer has been cherished by Christians everywhere and always. In it, our Saviour has brilliantly summarized the kinds of requests that God most delights to answer.

Jesus knew that, when we struggle to prayer, we need, far more than techniques and challenges, a fresh appreciation of God. We need to glimpse his magnificent character and plans. As we see the Father described in Jesus' prayer, we find ourselves lifted in wonder to delight in him. Our cold hearts are warmed and our stifled tongues released to pray. The Lord's Prayer, and so this book, is all about enjoying God.

'I find the Lord's Prayer exhilarating. It has been a lifeline from God, dragging my proud heart to him. I couldn't survive without it.'
- Richard Coekin

“A Treasure”

I bought this book after listening to Richard Coekin speak at the Servants of the Word conference at St. George's Tron in Glasgow. Such a clear and clever thinker. The book is a real treasure in encouraging and helping us see the gift, responsibility and importance of prayer. It is easy to read, inspirational in tone and very accessible. I liked it so much that we are using it as a book to read for the teaching series we are currently doing on prayer.
