by Arthur Paul Boers (Author), Henri Nouwen (Foreword by)
The Lord's Prayer has nurtured Christians throughout the ages. Yet today it is often well known--but little understood frequently repeated--but seldom contemplated much loved as Jesus's model prayer--but attacked by some for naming God ""Father."" Martin Luther said, ""To this day I am still nursing myself on the Lord's Prayer like a child and am still eating and drinking of it like an old man without getting bored with it."" The Lord's Prayer can still offer such nourishment.
