My Thoughts

When I decided to review this book, I was reading numerous books from this same author.   Consequently, I got an overload of information from  R.T. Kendall on various subjects and couldn’t concentrate totally on this book.   I had to put it aside for a while (a bit too long I admit it) before coming back to it.  I am not in the habit of doing this but for this particular book it was a wise decision.  

This book is all about the Lord’s Prayer.   The author is decorticating the prayer that Jesus taught to his disciples and explains it beautifully. The author goes verse by verse and expand on the subject with each chapter throughout the book.  While going through this prayer you will learn to focus on God, discover God’s prayer list and be blessed at the same time.

The Lord’s Prayer is often repeated and sometimes we might have a tendency of saying it without really pondering on the words and how it impact our own life.   This book will remind you of the importance of the prayer and how your own life can be transformed through it.

If you want to have a new perspective for the Lord’s Prayer in 2011, I strongly suggest that you read this book from R.T. Kendall.  You will get new insights on a common prayer and get inspired to re-discover it and draw closer to God.  

The Lord’s Prayer is available at a bookstore near you – even at amazon.ca.
