Rachel Staff Thompson is the first author I can think of that I discovered through a Facebook ad. It was actually for her Oneness Cycle books, but when I found out she had written a non-fiction book about the Lord's Prayer I had to give it a read. This book was a great little read, in many ways it was a reminder. It strives to make our faith personal. And I have found that the longer I am serious about my Christian faith the harder I need to work to prevent it from becoming just head knowledge. This book helps us return to the heart.
The chapters in this book are:
Introduction
Father!
Our Father…
Something More
Father in Heaven
Hallowed
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Reality
Thy Kingdom Come
Trust
Thy Will Be Done
Longing
Give Us This Day
Song of the Forgiven
As We Forgive, Forgive Us
Delivered
Deliver Us From Evil
The Hymn of Creation
Thine Is
The book is a mix of prose, poetry and quotes. Rachel draws from a number of sources to support her own reflections on this prayer. Rachel draws from church history, other Christians and passages from the bible to enhance her points. Coming in at under a hundred pages it is a quick and easy read. But it is also short enough that you could go back and easily reread it a few times to help sink in the teachings and as a refresher from time to time.
I really enjoyed this little book, and thing it will benefit your faith journey. Also after reading this non-fiction book I am even more excited to check out some of her fiction offerings.
(Note: This nook is currently available for free on Rachel's site.)
