"Here is a very special book on prayer."
- Dr. Sinclair B. Ferguson

Publisher's Description

What is the Lord's Prayer? In The Prayer of the Lord, Dr. R. C. Sproul writes, "Jesus' intent was to give His disciples a model prayer, an example to follow, one that would teach them transferrable principles for conversation with God." In short, Christ gave the Lord's Prayer to teach His disciples about prayer, and Dr. Sproul, in his trademark fashion, brings out many of the truths Christ intended for His followers to learn.

Readers will learn how not to pray, then will be led into a deeper understanding of such topics as the fatherhood of God, the kingdom of God, the will of God, the nature of sin and forgiveness, the dangers of temptation, and the cunning of Satan. The final chapter includes questions and answers on various aspects of prayer not covered elsewhere in the book, and the appendix addresses the difficult question of the relationship of God's sovereignty and prayer. The Prayer of the Lord is an eye-opening journey, one that reveals new vistas in familiar terrain.

"Dr. R. C. Sproul was my first theology teacher. As a new Christian,I learned a ton of theology, philosophy, and church historywhile listening to the Renewing Your Mind radio broadcast.Now, in The Prayer of the Lord, Dr. Sproul brings his considerabletheological, philosophical, and historical gifts and resourcesto bear on the vital subject of prayer. A subject of such greatimportance deserves a teacher of such great skill. In addition toall the other things Dr. Sproul has taught me, it is a privilege tohave him guide me through our Savior’s priorities in prayer. Readthis short book and have a pattern for a life of prayer unfoldedbefore you."

"I love listening to R. C. Sproul teach, and this book sounds justlike himpenetrating truths strikingly illustrated. His goodquotations and pastoral wisdom make him as easy to read as heis delightful to listen to (and the short chapters help!). Sproulclearly explains the Scriptures with sentences that are simple andaccurate. He knows enough to say important things conciselyand clearlytruths about the kingdom, the fatherhood of God,history, and, of course, prayer. There’s even a helpful question-and-answer section at the end. This little book now takes itsplace with the classics on prayer."
