- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A sparkling introduction to the Lord's Prayer as an instrument to deepen our commitment to God and his kingdom, and to be agents of it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5N.T. Wright illuminates the meaning behind this time-honored prayer. With the wisdom backed by his lifetime of scholarship and inquiry he takes us deep into the essence and original meaning of each phrase informed by a rich historical contextual understanding. Deeply beautiful and educational!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It’s one of those books I would read again and again as a reminder of how and to do the Lord’s Prayer. Never learnt so much from such a short book. Highly recommend
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Thought provoking, insightful, and inspiring to both worship and Christian service.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5New perspective of the prayer as a part of our mission. Praying for the world
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A short (90 pages) but extremely helpful look at the Lord's Prayer, based on a series of sermons from Tom Wright in 1995. Wright journeys through each of the six main phrases in the prayer, looking at them from the point of view of Jesus' proclamation of the Kingdom. Readable (especially for Wright !), insightful, and strongly recommended.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A little book, but with great depth. In a series of six sermons that were preached in the run up to Christmas, Tom Wright examines the Lord's prayer phrase by phrase. His writing is accessible but profound, easy to read and difficult to forget.One insight that struck me with great force was the communal nature of the prayer. It is prayed in the first person plural, and therefore has great power as we choose to align ourselves with each other before our Father. I don't just pray for my bread to be provided, but for bread to be provided for us, whoever the us is that I bring to the Father. I don't just pray that for my forgiveness and forgivingness, but for our forgiveness and forgivingness. I am still working the implications of this insight through. I suspect that when I read this book again something else will strike me.
