One World

Can you imagine reading the Lord’s Prayer as a gateway to adventure? Bruce Epperly, who has introduced process theology to the masses through concise, readable guides, presents this well-known prayer through a vision of a relational, open-spirited, profoundly personal, always creative, and forward-looking God, who invites us to be companions in the holy adventure of healing the earth. This is not your routine book on the Lord’s Prayer. Instead, it is an invitation to to holy adventure through sharing in the prayer of Jesus. Each short chapter includes a section titled “Living the Prayer of Jesus.” In the back, there are a series of questions for conversation. This book is short (only 35 pages of text besides the questions) and concise, but it is also challenging. It would make a good church wide or small group study, and is suitable for individual reading.
