"Thy Will be Done" by E.M. Bounds
E. M.Bounds shows us that prayer is not difficult. It is a privilege and a blessing. By examining how Jesus prayed, Bounds helps us to pray boldly and expectantly. When we pray with the confidence of a child, we will find that God is eager to answer us, and that we will discover the reality of what Jesus knew-prayer works!
"The Great House of God" by Max Lucado
This book takes a fresh look at the Lord's Prayer. Each chapter is dedicated to a line of the prayer and how that line describes a room in God's house or how the line refers to the personal relationship God has with us. The author makes the sometimes antiquated words apply to people's everyday lives. Most of the author's examples refer to his family/children. This book reads like a sermon in parts: Bible verse, relevant point, anecdote, back to the point/verse, and repeat.
"The Lord and His Prayer" by N.T.Wright
Drawing on his years of study as a scholar, Wright offers a deeply devotional approach to the Lord's Prayer. He shows how the Lord's Prayer sums up all that Jesus was about in his earthly ministry and what Christians must be about to help his kingdom come.
"The Sermon on the Mount" by Emmet Fox
The Sermon on the Mount offers practical guidelines to people of all faiths who seek to bring health, happiness, and true prosperity into their lives and into the lives of others.
"The Perfect Prayer" by Philip Mathias
In The Perfect Prayer, Philip Mathias examines the six specific petitions in the "Lord's Prayer as recorded in the Gospel of Luke (11:2-4) wherein Jesus provided his followers a template for their daily communications with God. Examined as a whole, The Perfect Prayer reveals that this cornerstone prayer of Christianity is so much greater than the mere sum of its individual parts. Very highly recommended reading for all Christians regardless of their denominational affiliation.
