The Lord’s Prayer is the best known prayer of all time, but its very familiarity may be its downfall. We get so used to saying it that it can easily trip off the tongue without a further thought.
Jesus did not intend these words to be used just as a prayer. He also gave them as a pattern for prayer. Used in this way they offer a liberating structure around which our own prayer can develop.
“The Every Day Use of the Lord’s Prayer” is not another exposition of the Lord’s Prayer, but a practical resource to help you develop your own prayer based on the pattern that Jesus has given us. It is full of scriptures, hymns, songs, prayers - and space! Room for you to write down words that help you in your time with God

This book is a lot better than it looks at first glance. I found it a very useful and helpful little handbook. It focuses on the Lord's Prayer, discussing the different parts of the Prayer and how we can use them to shape our prayer life. I found it easy to read and it gave me some things to think about. The book also contains a set of readings and prayers and hymns to use for times of prayer and reflection and these were well-chosen and helpful. Overall this was a much better book than I had expected and would be very useful for quiet prayer times for new Christians or for those who wish to inject a little more life into their prayers.
