Synopsis
Jesus’ disciples once came to Him and asked how they should pray. He answered with the simple words most of us know: “Our Father, which art in heaven.” Several years ago, I began to pray the Lord’s Prayer every day. As I did, I sought to know better the Father to whom I prayed. The riches of the prayer overwhelmed me. Heart to Heart is my attempt to put those riches into words.
Each chapter of Heart to Heart examines another facet of who God is and what it means for us to live as His children. This book was written as an act of worship. May it move you also to the celebration of childhood and embrace of the Father.

Our Father | Father In Heaven | Hallowed Be Thy Name | Thy Kingdom Come | Thy Will Be Done | Give Us This Day | As We Forgive, Forgive Us | Deliver Us From Evil | Thine Is
Reviews
“This book is not merely a job well done, though it is that, it is truly a significant contribution to the devotional literature on the Lord’s Prayer. I thought it was one of the best things on the Lord’s Prayer I have read–not a study or an exposition, but a true devotional experience based on Jesus’ prayer.”
- Michael Phillips, bestselling author of “God: A Good Father,” The Stonewycke Legacy, and The Journals of Corrie Belle Hollister.
“Phrase by phrase, sometimes word by word, the author moves through the Lord’s Prayer, meditating on the meanings, the significance, the relationship between God and believer in Christ as revealed in this short but powerful prayer. The book begins in the Garden of Eden, touches on the lives of familiar figures in the Bible, and calls us to make an honest evaluation of our own lives and walk with God. This is a book I’ll return to, the next time life gets over-busy and my prayers seem dry and profitless. Heart to Heart is a drink of cool, refreshing water in a parched and thirsty land.”

“How many times have you prayed ‘The Lord’s Prayer’ without giving it much thought? Sadly, I know I’ve been guilty of sometimes just repeating the well-known words in church along with everyone else. After reading through Heart to Heart: Meeting with God in the Lord’s Prayer , I will never again view this simple but powerful prayer in the same light.”
