Book Description
In the gospels, Jesus teaches much about prayer -- that God is our Father, that we can approach him directly, and that prayer thrives when done with simplicity, confidence, and persistence. Jesus also showed us many ways to pray -- in solitude and with friends, in wordless contemplation and humble intercession, and always with an attitude of obedience to his Father's will. All these are lessons for people who seek a more enriching prayer experience. Author George Martin shows us how to read the gospels for precious insight into prayer and teaches us how to "pray as Jesus prayed".

Book Description
The Lord's Prayer, the prayer that Jesus taught us, is one of the most familiar and beloved of all prayers. But familiarity has dulled its radical edge. In this close reading, Crosby shows how the "Our Father" summarizes the themes in the Gospel of Matthew, especially those of social justice. If we recite this prayer faithfully, we are responding to Jesus' call to reject the worship of idols, to engage in right relationships with our neighbors, and to commit ourselves to the project of the Kingdom of God -- that God's will may truly be done "on earth as it is in heaven."

Book Description
“The disciples had been with Christ, and seen Him pray. They had learnt to understand something of the connection between His wondrous life in public and His secret life in prayer. And so they came to Him with the request, ‘Lord, teach us to pray.’” What were the secrets behind the prayer life of Jesus? Jesus gathered His disciples around Him and shared with them all they needed to know. Murray beckons us to join the disciples encircled around Jesus. He guides us deep into the heart of Christ’s teachings on prayer, inviting us to enter more fully into the mysterious beauty and spectacular power of prayer.
