How the Lord's Prayer Shapes the Imagination of the Church in a Secular Age

Produktbeschreibung

What you pray . . . shapes what you believe . . . shapes how you live. The Lord's Prayer is a beautiful, subversive passage of words given to the church by Jesus. It forms our imaginations and--given time--transforms us. And today, we are in desperate need of renewed imaginations. In Liturgy in the Wilderness, Anglican priest D. J. Marotta shows how the Lord's Prayer provides a framework in our secular age for believing and living in Jesus Christ. When we pray the Lord's Prayer, we're shifting spiritual tectonic plates that lie deep beneath culture, society, and the depths of our own hearts. In this prayer we're taken apart and put back together. We're stripped of our idols, addictions, and false hopes. We're offered new words of trust and mission that help us engage the world. We need the words of Jesus in the Lord's Prayer to sink deep into the roots of our souls. When we allow these words to work on us, we become wiser, kinder, and more joyful followers of Jesus. Marotta awakens our hearts to the beauty and bounty of the Lord's Prayer and shows us how to live faithfully in the wilderness.
