In this particular book, he weaves doctrinal truths together with practical application regarding the Lord’s Prayer. The goal? To challenge Christians to be better pray-ers because prayer is the glue that holds us close to “our Father who art in heaven.”

In this book, 'Praying the Lord's Prayer' Dr. Elmer Towns teaches, precept by precept, the focus of his practical means of spiritual formation. Dr. Towns desired a more powerful prayer life and shared his desire with Dr. Yonggi Cho. The rest is history. The Lord's model prayer has been Elmer's principle method of drawing into active and effective prayer. A careful reading of this book also provides great insight into the life of one of our most productive contemporary Christian educators. This book can both challenge and change your prayer life.

The Lord's Prayer is a prayer learned at an early age. This book really brings it to life. Helps you understand how to apply the prayer to everyday life. The Lord's Prayer will have much more meaning to me each and every time it is prayed. Thanks for a wonderful book.

It covers the Lord's Prayer in depth and gave me new insights into becoming more effective in praying. If Jesus taught us how to pray, Elmer goes into the reasons why...

We know the Lord's Prayer. Most of us could recite it in our sleep. Yet few of us have sought to discover its depth & apply it so thoroughly as Towns does herein. His personal examples, thorough understanding & exposition of scripture, & generous practical application make this book a must read for any serious Christ follower.

The author explains the way the Lords prayer is intended to be prayed. It helped me understand how I should be thinking as I say the Lords prayer. It has a whole new meaning to me and has taught me to be more intimate when I pray the Lords prayer to God.

Best book I have ever read on Pray that actually teaches you how to pray. Every Christian should read it. I have always wanted to find a book that will truly help me with pray this book did that without question

Having been in the church all of my life -- and having heard many folk say: "Let us repeat the 'Lord's Prayer' to open or close many, many meetings left me no longer wanting to hear it again. It always suggested to me people who just did not know how to pray in public. I abhorred their reciting it like a piece of poetry forcing most of the reverence out of it. So rather than participate I would usually opt out of their reciting of it and just pray silently on my own which also did not leaving me feeling any more spiritual! Elmer Towns in this book has completely transformed my thinking about "The Lord's Prayer" and renewed my love of praying it, over and over and over again! His insights into it and spiritual information about it makes this book a treasure for any prayer-seeking, prayer-loving, and prayer-believing Christian. Paige in Richmond

Good good

Well written, very informative.

Prayer and reflection

I guess the LORDs prayer means different things to different people, I loved saying it at school and Sunday School and enjoyed the reverence it was given. With so many Churches not touching the prayer taught by JESUS to HIS disciples Elmer has captured so much of what we are missing out on and the power that is made available to changes lives and our environment. For me this starts by changing my life that lets The FATHER change what's going on around me because first i have to adjust my eyes. For that to make sense you best read the words in the book rather than my poor attempt to put words here. I really do highly recommend this book I don't think you will regret it.

Not too easy to understand. Especially for those who are not believers. Needs to be less "religious" in language
