God longs for us to be close to him and yet our pride and desire for independence so often get in the way. How can we develop the attitudes that God desires? Jesus gave the Lord's Prayer to be the foundation of the disciples' prayer life. James Emery-White believes that it is still the prayer God longs for. It develops in us the attitudes that bring us close to God: intimacy, expectancy, reverence, submission, dependence, honesty and humility. With sensitivity and realism White tackles some of the difficulties and problems Christians face in prayer. His thoughtful phrase-by-phrase reflection will help restore the Lord's Prayer to the heart of our prayer life - just as Jesus intended. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

My disappointment with the book is the same that I feel with most of his books. He does quite of bit of research and ingestion before writing. However, the book sometimes feels as if it is a highlight reel of the stuff he has read. It is more of a research paper than an original work. Of course, I have read many of the same books, so it feels very stale to me at those moments.
My delight with the book is also the same as I feel with most of his books. Occasionally, he will be himself. And when he does, the results can be breath-taking. A theologian who has the advantage of pastoring a start-up church (he is not holding the fort down for previous generations), he brings the research around to bear on real-world feelings in a very fresh way.
