Praying the Saviour’s Way
Let Jesus’ Prayer Reshape Your Prayer Life
Derek W. H. Thomas
An in–depth look at the Lord’s Prayer
Meditate on and re–discover this beautiful prayer
From a pastor and experienced theologian
Even in today’s post Christian society the Lord’s Prayer remains widely known. Its beauty is that it can be understood by a child, but has tremendously profound lessons for those of us who investigate it more deeply. However, our tendency is to allow familiarity to breed complacency. We can repeat the Lord’s Prayer verbatim, but do we ponder its message and follow its example?
Derek W. H. Thomas
Derek W. H. Thomas, originally from Wales, was the Senior Minister of First Presbyterian Church in Columbia, South Carolina and Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic and Pastoral Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary. He is a Teaching Fellow with Ligonier Ministries. He previously served as the Chairman of the Theology Department at Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi.

Christian Focus
Too often our prayers are concerned with ourselves and lack the reverence which is due. As Thomas walks through the 'Lord's prayer' with us, we discover fundamental truths about both God and ourselves. This book is a powerful reminder of who God is, who we are and what prayer is about.
Eleonore Van Haaften
"Professor Thomas has given us an insightful and inspiring look at the Lord's Prayer. The church has always returned to Christ's instruction on prayer to form prayers that are pleasing to God. In our day when new forms of spirituality are appearing all around us, we need to return once again."

... This book will be a great blessing to you and certainly help each of us better understand how to obey Christ's instruction "to pray like this." I recommend it heartily.
If you would learn to pray, or strengthen your prayer life, who better to instruct you than Jesus. That is why Praying the Saviour's Way can be such a great help to you. The master model for prayer is clearly explained with helpful application.
