This unique phrase-by-phrase exposition reads the Lord's Prayer as Jesus' description of God. Our heavenly Father is the perfect parent beyond our dreams who loves, provides, forgives, and ultimately protects. Finding our parent, we discover who we really are and enter a kingdom without boundaries. The Prayer of Jesus is not a somber duty; it is the essence of the gospel's happy news. ""If laughter is forbidden in heaven,"" said Martin Luther, ""I don't want to go there."" ""If you have read all of Thomas Merton, C. S. Lewis, and Frederick Buechner, you are spiritually ready to read Kent Gramm's meditation on the Lord's Prayer. If you have not read Merton, Lewis, and Buechner, you will come to those writers and many more much more spiritually endowed for having read one of the Christendom's most unique books: The Prayer of Jesus by Kent Gramm. This promises to become a universally beloved book."" --David Madden, author of The Last Bizarre Tale Kent Gramm teaches at Gettysburg College and is the author of Psalms for Skeptics, November, Somebody's Darling, Gettysburg, and the novel Clare.
