Even in today’s post Christian society the Lord’s Prayer remains widely known. Its beauty is that it can be understood by a child, but has tremendously profound lessons for those of us who investigate it more deeply. However, our tendency is to allow familiarity to breed complacency. We can repeat the Lord’s Prayer verbatim, but do we ponder its message and follow its example?

If you would learn to pray, or strengthen your prayer life, who better to instruct you than Jesus. That is why Praying the Saviour's Way can be such a great help to you. The master model for prayer is clearly explained with helpful application.

"Professor Thomas has given us an insightful and inspiring look at the Lord's Prayer. The church has always returned to Christ's instruction on prayer to form prayers that are pleasing to God. In our day when new forms of spirituality are appearing all around us, we need to return once again."
Richard Pratt
President, Third Millennium Ministries, Orlando, Florida
Too often our prayers are concerned with ourselves and lack the reverence which is due. As Thomas walks through the 'Lord's prayer' with us, we discover fundamental truths about both God and ourselves. This book is a powerful reminder of who God is, who we are and what prayer is about.
