Teach Us to Pray Gj Farmer

The Lord's Prayer. You've heard it. Read it. Memorized it. But do you know what it really means? For centuries Christians have recited the model prayer. But what if it contains more meaning than what appears on the surface? What if Jesus, when he taught the crowds that day, gave an example of prayer that completely changed how the people viewed God?
GJ Farmer provides a simple, thorough, and deep understanding of the Lord's Prayer that developed from weeks of sermon preparation and Bible study. In reading this book, you will walk away challenged to trust God even more, as you discover His heart through Jesus's model prayer.

"The Holy Spirit is greatest resource for accomplishing the Great Commission, the very purpose for which Jesus has left his bride, the church, on earth. Prayer is the way we access that resource so, to fulfill our purpose, followers of Jesus must know how to pray! Thankfully, Jesus teaches us how through his model prayer. In his book on prayer, Pastor GJ Farmer offers wonderful insights to the reader concerning the deep and symbolic meaning of our Lord's Prayer. As you read it, I trust that you, like me, will be both challenged and encouraged in your prayer life."
-Paul Chitwood, President, International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention "GJ Farmer, in his interaction with Matthew 6, answers the question, 'How should we pray?' He does an excellent job of breaking it down and making it simple while remaining faithful to the text. People who read this book, whether new in the faith or a mature believer, will find themselves wanting to stop reading and start praying. I highly recommend Teach Us to Pray."
- Todd Gray, Executive Director-Treasurer, Kentucky Baptist Convention "We see it all the time. The Lord's prayer is repeated ritualistically and routinely before an event. Then the participants proceed to go and act in ways distinctly different from what they just 'prayed.' Even as believers, there are many times that rituals and routines can unintentionally take over in our lives. GJ Farmer's book, Teach Us to Pray, is an excellent resource to help any believer refocus on what it truly means to pray to our heavenly Father in the way He desires for us to pray and draw closer to Him. You will enjoy the practical illustrations and applications GJ provides that will help you to discover God's heart in the way our Lord intended His model prayer to be used."
