Reflections on the Lord’s Prayer for today’s world

By Michael Smith

‘Many Books have been published about the Lord’s Prayer, but few which are as fresh as this collection of Michael Smith’s meditations on the text of Christ’s exemplary prayer, that prayer of the Kingdom which he gave to his disciples in response to their request that Jesus should teach them to pray. Throughout, Michael shares something of his own spiritual journey and experiences through this interaction between the way we pray and the way we live.’

The Rt Revd Michael Marshall President, The Awareness Foundation

‘As former prisons minister I wish we could all regain our understanding of temptation, evil and forgiveness. This short meditation is invaluable.’

Ann Widdecombe, Minister of State for Prisons, 1995-1997, and contestant on BBC TV’s ‘Strictly come dancing’, 2010

‘These Reflections deserve a wide readership… They offer wisdom in depth on the Prayer we all turn to in our times of both trouble and thanksgiving.’

Tony Colman, Labour MP for Putney, 1997-2005
