Why Get This Book

We say the Lord's Prayer so often that the words can slide right by. W. Phillip Keller slows it down. He writes that this prayer holds all the strength and compassion of our Father in heaven, a beauty and peace that reassures our hearts and brings us into personal contact with God. It's a fresh, moving look at a famous prayer, written by a layman for ordinary believers. Honest note: Keller writes in a reflective, older style, so readers wanting quick takeaways may grow impatient. Next step: read Matthew 6:9-13 slowly, one line at a time, and pray it tonight.
