Ahh Phillip Keller speaks again. I loved this book as much as I loved a LAYMAN LOOKS AT THE 23 PSALM.
OH how I want to put what he writes into practice.

I just love W. Phillip Keller books and this is another one I’m really thankful to have the chance to experience. He writes in such a way that flows, draws you into whatever he is writing about, and paints such a descriptive picture. This is a great book about the famous Lord’s prayer and he breaks it down by describing what each phrase means. So he breaks down “Father”, “Heaven” and “Kingdom”, etc. It’s great to dig into these phrases and all the more praise His name! To see what He wants us to see in teaching the disciples and us this prayer and how to pray. If you’re looking to do this, check this book out! I’m sure you will not be disappointed.
I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

An absolute must read for any and all Christians! This book will greatly deepen your understanding of the Lord's prayer and your own faith.

I enjoyed reading W. Phillip Keller's A Layman Looks at the Lord's Prayer. This is an author I've been meaning to read for over a decade. I've heard great things about his A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 and so I was excited to get the chance to review this title.

Keller goes through the Lord's Prayer line by line, or, phrase by phrase.

I would say this one is definitely leaning more towards being a devotional book than Heavy, Serious Theology. Devotional books may be abundant, but, good ones are not always so.

His insights are good ones:

"Unless we do begin to grasp what kind of person God is, we shall never fully develop a simple, strong confidence in Him. Yet, this is what He wants from us more than anything else, our trust and affection as His children."

"Too many of us are far too vague in our ideas about spiritual realities. If God is in heaven, then we ought to know something about heaven. If He is our Father and heaven is His natural environment, we should understand what that realm is really like."

"It is not possible to divorce or separate the will of God from God Himself. His will is not something detached from and external to the Person and character of our Father in heaven. Yet, it is surprising how many of God’s children speak of their Father’s will as though it was something quite apart from Him. They often act as if the will of God was merely an abstract edict which could be acknowledged or ignored at a whim. The fact of the matter is that to recognize and acknowledge His will is to recognize and acknowledge Him. To ignore and repudiate His will is to ignore and repudiate Him."
