The power and significance of the prayer Jesus taught.

Most Christians know the Lord's Prayer by heart. We pray it often, at different times and in different settings. We remember it as the prayer that Jesus taught his disciples. But do we really understand and appreciate the meaning and power of its words, what we ask of God each time we pray it?

When the disciples asked Jesus how to pray, Jesus gave them this prayer. He likely taught it to his followers often, not just one time. He never intended the Lord's Prayer to be a museum piece, framed and placed on a mantel or in a display case. It was Jesus teaching God's people, through his disciples, how to pray.

In The Lord's Prayer: The Meaning and Power of the Prayer Jesus Taught, pastor and bestselling author Adam Hamilton guides us to really know—and really pray—the Lord's Prayer. He explores each of its rich lines and their meaning in the Bible, illuminating what we ask of God and what we ask of ourselves through its words. And he teaches us how to use it as a pattern for our own prayer life.

Opened my eyes!

It was maybe a year ago I was in church again. We were reciting the lords prayer. I thought this is kind of a stupid prayer. I don’t understand it. Now I realize I just didn’t understand what it meant. This prayer is far from stupid. I just needed to know what its true meaning was

Distracting Volume Levels

Good story. The volume level gets loud then soft then loud then soft then…. Very difficult to focus on the content.

Never thought about the prayer like this!

I learned The Lord’s Prayer as a child, but didn’t me the meaning of it all. I gathered bits and pieces of understanding from time to time, but this book REALLY helped me attach significant meaning to these familiar words and phrases. I will forever think of The Lord’s Prayer in a different light now!

Insightful look at the Lord’s Prayer

I really loved the way each phrase was connected from Biblical history to contemporary life. The Lord’s Prayer is a constant in a changing world and I can so easily imagine people through generations finding peace in its words. I loved the message. There were parts of the delivery that kept reinforcing the same words and I only appreciated it the first couple times.
