Overview

Even in today’s post Christian society the Lord’s Prayer remains widely known. Its beauty is that it can be understood by a child, but has tremendously profound lessons for those of us who investigate it more deeply. However, our tendency is to allow familiarity to breed complacency. We can repeat the Lord’s Prayer verbatim, but do we ponder its message and follow its example?

Key Features

• Gives an insightful and inspiring look at the Lord's Prayer
• Reminds who God is, who the believers are and what prayer is about
• Walks through the 'Lord's prayer' and helps to discover fundamental truths about both God and believers

Praise for Praying the Saviour’s Way

Too often our prayers are concerned with ourselves and lack the reverence which is due. As Thomas walks through the 'Lord's prayer' with us, we discover fundamental truths about both God and ourselves. This book is a powerful reminder of who God is, who we are and what prayer is about.

—Eleonore Van Haaften

If you would learn to pray, or strengthen your prayer life, who better to instruct you than Jesus. That is why Praying the Saviour's Way can be such a great help to you. The master model for prayer is clearly explained with helpful application.

—Luder G. Whitlock, Executive Director of CNL Charitable Foundation, Orlando, Florida

Instructive, practical, readable, challenging. Each chapter will make you eager for the next course. Nourishing fare indeed!

—Sinclair B. Ferguson, Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi

This book will be a great blessing to you and certainly help each of us better understand how to obey Christ's instruction "to pray like this." I recommend it heartily.
