The Disciples' Prayer
There is probably nothing in the Christian life which is more advocated and less attempted, more urged and less understood or more praised and less practiced than prayer....The prayer Jesus gave was a model payer His disciples could use....You will find it a powerful reshaper of your priorities in both praying and living....And the place to begin is to take up the position of a disciple of Jesus, praying, 'Lord, teach me to pray.' - from the Introduction Donald Williams is a graduate of Taylor University, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and the University of Georgia where he earned a Ph.D. in Medieval and Renaissance Literature. An ordained minister of the Evangelical Free Church in America, Dr. Williams currently serves as Professor of English and Director of the School of Arts and Sciences at Toccoa Falls College.

Festooning "Our Father"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
One of CSLewis' strategies for prayer was to "festoon the Lord's Prayer," using the words as a scaffold or frame on which to drape the particularities of his own situation. Disciples' Prayer will help the reader do just that. The chapters lead the reader through the prayer in a methodical and meditative analysis of language and concept. Such an analysis would be academic at best and irrelevant at worst if it were not consistently related to real, contemporary living. The author does not leave us with a set of constructs that have no practical implications. Prayer is a matter of daily incarnational living as well as a matter of words. Both are clearly explicated in this small but powerful volume.
