When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, he gave them the Lord's Prayer. But is the Lord's Prayer simply a form of prayer repeated during Sunday morning worship? If so, we are missing out on a rich resource for our spiritual lives. These 8 studies help us to unpack the Lord's Prayer to give us a better understanding of Jesus' teaching on the subject. Additional texts help the reader go deeper and develop a better understanding of Jesus' teaching on prayer. This revised title features questions for starting group discussions and for meeting God in personal reflection, as well as a 'now or later' section in each of the 8 studies.

No other words of the Bible are spoken more often than the 65 words we call the Lord's Prayer. Prayer takes time, energy, discipline, perseverance. How can these words of Jesus help us to understand prayer? Perhaps more significantly, how can they give us more passion for prayer?
