You will be greatly blessed andedified by this book."

"Dr. R. C. Sproul was my first theology teacher. As a new Christian,I learned a ton of theology, philosophy, and church historywhile listening to the Renewing Your Mind radio broadcast.Now, in The Prayer of the Lord, Dr. Sproul brings his considerabletheological, philosophical, and historical gifts and resourcesto bear on the vital subject of prayer. A subject of such greatimportance deserves a teacher of such great skill. In addition toall the other things Dr. Sproul has taught me, it is a privilege tohave him guide me through our Savior’s priorities in prayer. Readthis short book and have a pattern for a life of prayer unfoldedbefore you."

"Gospel-driven disciple-making in the church has historicallymade full use of the Apostles’ Creed, the Law of God, and theLord’s Prayer. Now through this marvelous and insightful expositionof the Lord’s Prayer, R. C. has provided disciple-makingChristians and churches an excellent and useful instrument todirect and fulfill the heart’s desire of every believer who would cryout, 'Lord, teach us to pray.'"

"I love listening to R. C. Sproul teach, and this book sounds justlike himpenetrating truths strikingly illustrated. His goodquotations and pastoral wisdom make him as easy to read as heis delightful to listen to (and the short chapters help!). Sproulclearly explains the Scriptures with sentences that are simple andaccurate. He knows enough to say important things conciselyand clearlytruths about the kingdom, the fatherhood of God,history, and, of course, prayer. There’s even a helpful question-and-answer section at the end. This little book now takes itsplace with the classics on prayer."
