Description
What you pray . . . shapes what you believe . . . shapes how youlive.< b> < b>< p>
The Lord’s Prayer is a beautiful, subversivepassage of words given to the church by Jesus. It forms our imaginations and—giventime—transforms us. And today, we are in desperate need of renewed imaginations.Christians are living in a wilderness of secularism. The historic Christian faithis seen as absurd at best and dangerously oppressive at worst. Followers of Jesusmust begin to imagine life as a faithful minority who are ever seeking to subvertwhat is evil with good, what is hateful with love, what is corrosive with nurture.< p>
In Liturgyin the Wilderness, < i>Anglican priest D. J. Marotta shows how the Lord’sPrayer provides a framework in our secular age for understanding, believing, andliving in light of Jesus Christ. When we pray the Lord’s Prayer, we’replanting seeds that can split concrete. We’re dripping water that can wearaway granite. We’re shifting spiritual tectonic plates that lie deep beneathculture, society, and the depths of our own hearts. When we pray the Lord’sPrayer, our imaginations are stirred, moved, and transformed. We’re takenapart and put back together. We’re stripped of our idols, addictions, andfalse hopes. We’re offered new words of trust and mission. And we begin to see< i> theworld differently—the way Jesus saw it.< p>
With this book, Marotta awakensour hearts to the beauty, sustaining power, and bounty of the Lord’s Prayerand shows us how to live faithfully in the wilderness.< p>< DIV>
