Liturgy in the Wilderness: How the Lord's Prayer Shapes the Imagination of the Church in a Secular Age

What you pray . . . shapes what you believe . . . shapes how you live. The Lord's Prayer is a beautiful, subversive passage of words. It forms our imaginations and--given time--transforms us. And today, we're in desperate need of renewed imaginations. Christians are living in a wilderness of secularism. In Liturgy in the Wilderness, Anglican priest D. J. Marotta shows how the Lord's Prayer provides a framework for living in Jesus Christ. When we pray the Lord's Prayer, we shift spiritual tectonic plates that lie deep beneath culture, society, and the depths of our own hearts. We're taken apart and put back together. We're offered words of trust and mission. And we begin to see the world differently--the way Jesus saw it. This book awakens our hearts to the beauty and bounty of the Lord's Prayer, helping us to live faithfully in the wilderness.
