Lord Teach Us to Pray

Description: The Lords Prayer has nurtured Christians throughout the ages. Yet today it is often well known--but little understood frequently repeated--but seldom contemplated much loved as Jesuss model prayer--but attacked by some for naming God Father. Martin Luther said To this day I am still nursing myself on the Lords Prayer like a child and am still eating and drinking of it like an old man without getting bored with it. The Lords Prayer can still offer such nourishment. Endorsements: Lord Teach Us to Pray is biblically sound spiritually rich and intellectually stimulating. Boers shows the Our Father as a prayer that is as wide as it is deep; it embraces all humanitys yearnings and touches the inner depths of the human heart. --Henri Nouwen from the Foreword About the Contributor(s): Arthur Paul Boers teaches pastoral theology at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary.
