In this selection of nine readings, reflections, and prayers, Nick Fawcett offers brief thoughts and prayers on Matthew's version of the Lord's Prayer and on the teaching of Jesus that preceded it. Drawn from his book Daily Lent Reflections, we begin where Jesus began, focusing on the need to make time and space for God in personal devotion. From here we move to a recognition that prayer is not about imposing our wishes on God but about seeking his will and guidance. This leads us into the Lord's Prayer itself--so familiar, so well loved, yet with so many hidden depths still to be explored.

Autorenporträt
Brought up in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, Nick Fawcett served as a Baptist minister for 13 years, and as a chaplain with TocH for 3, before deciding to focuson writing and editing, which he continues with today, despite wrestling with myeloma, an incurable cancer of the blood. He lives in Wellington, Somerset, with his wife, Deborah, and - when they are at home from university - his two children, Samuel and Kate. Delighting in the beauty of the West Country, Nick and Deborah love nothing more than walking stretches of the South West coast path at weekends, and Nick - as well as finding time for online games of chess and Scrabble alongside his many editing commitments - finds constant inspiration for his numerous books in the lanes and footpaths near his house. His aim, increasingly, is to write material free of religious jargon that reaches out to people of all faiths and none.
