"Living the Lord's Prayer is not, actually about the Lord's Prayer--it is about how we conceive of God, and what happens when we encounter God. Many of us have repeated the Lord's Prayer so often that we have ceased to notice what we're saying. Albert Haase's insights and reflections will help you not just understand the Lord's Prayer more deeply; this book will also help you pray those words that Jesus prayed with more attentiveness." --Lauren Winner, Duke Divinity School, and author of
Girl Meets God
"Prayer is the foundation of life, and for a Christian all prayer is shaped by the words and spirit of the Lord's Prayer. In taking a fresh look at these familiar words, Albert Haase has engaged in a sparkling conversation with the great thinkers, writers and saints of the last twenty centuries; the result is a fascinating book which will provoke your thinking and leave you yearning to immerse yourself more deeply in our Father's presence." --Christopher Webb, president, Renovare
"I have rarely been inclined to describe a book as superb, but in this case, no other word will do.
