Beyond mere recitation, the one prayer that Jesus taught -- the Lord's Prayer - is a comprehensive spirituality for healing humanity's deepest wounds and transforming every dimension of existence: personal, relational, social, and structural.

Through his teaching of this prayer, Jesus provided a spiritual manifesto and a way to bring heaven to earth through our daily lives. In this book Tim Clayton recovers the Prayer's original thematic and rhythmic structure through three practical pathways: Encountering God (The gift of being as creaturely); Bringing that Encounter to Ourselves and Others (The importance of humble love and forgiveness); and Healing Humanity's Wounds (The courage to stand up to empire orderings of the world).
