Resumen del Editor
"Our Father, who art in heaven...."
The opening words of the Lord's Prayer have become so familiar that we often speak them without a thought, sometimes without any awareness that we are speaking at all. But to the disciples who first heard these words from Jesus, the prayer was a thunderbolt, a radical new way to pray that changed them and the course of history.
Far from a safe series of comforting words, the Lord's Prayer makes extraordinary claims, topples every earthly power, and announces God's reign over all things in heaven and on earth. In this groundbreaking new book, R. Albert Mohler Jr. recaptures the urgency and transformational nature of the prayer, revealing once again its remarkable, world-upending power. Step by step, phrase by phrase, The Prayer That Turns the World Upside Down explains what these words mean and how we are to pray them.
The Lord's Prayer is the most powerful prayer in the Bible, taught by Jesus to those closest to him. We desperately need to relearn its power and practice. The Prayer That Turns the World Upside Down shows us how.

Historia
Embrace the Lord's pattern for prayer. God longs for us to spend time with Him. Yet while His invitation is extravagant, too often we struggle to spend even brief moments with our Heavenly Father. For some, action has replaced prayer. For others, requests can take priority over relationship, as we try to mold God to our desires. How did the simple act of prayer become so complicated? Renowned pastor and author John MacArthur invites you to experience the art of prayer.

Although the cross is God's decisive deed in human history, the full meaning of it is far too much for a mere human mind to grasp. But through Henry Blackaby's careful examination, the cross becomes not a doctrine, but an experience. You'll be overwhelmed with the utter significance of Christ's death, leading you to a stronger sense of God's power in your daily life.

Historia
Why does God allow suffering? In today’s world of convenience and comfort, suffering can seem senseless. This idea has even crept into the church, where many believe that if we make the right choices and do the right things, pain can be avoided. So it’s little wonder that when we do encounter tough situations, we face even tougher questions: Why does God allow suffering? Where is God when I’m hurting?

Historia
The weight of glory is a happy burden. Thus God is the happiest Being in the Universe. To know Him in His pleasures is to see Him as He is - and to have a fresh encounter with His transforming presence. If you are hungry for this deep delight, consider the gladness of His great heart. The things that make God glad are the measures of His greatness. Christ and the cross. Choosing His people and bruising His Son. Creating the world and revealing His worth. The gladness of His people in the greatness of His glory.

Historia
In Reasons to Believe, Scott Hahn, a convert to Catholicism, explains the "how and why" of the Catholic faith - drawing from Scripture, his own struggles, and those of other converts, as well as from everyday life and even natural science. Hahn shows that reason and revelation, as well as nature and the supernatural, are not opposed to one another; rather, they offer complementary evidence that God exists. He is someone, and He has a personality, a personal style, that is discernable and knowable.

Just like Superman, followers of Christ have the supernatural ability to conquer the challenges we face. But the problem for both Superman and us is there's a kryptonite that steals our strength. Of course, both Superman and kryptonite are fictional. But spiritual kryptonite is not. This book offers answers to why so many people - and the churches they attend - are unable to experience the divine strength that was evident among the first-century Christians. In Killing Kryptonite, John Bevere reveals what this kryptonite is and how to break free from its bondage.

The Puritans, as a body, have done more to elevate the national character than any class of Englishmen that ever lived. Ardent lovers of civil liberty, and ready to die in its defense - mighty at the council board, and no less mighty in the battlefield - feared abroad throughout Europe, and invincible at home while united - great with their pens, and no less great with their swords - fearing God very much, and fearing men very little - they were a generation of men who have never received from their country the honor that they deserve.

Whether you know it or not, you have the authority to change the world through prayer. When God said, “Let mankind rule over all the earth,” He was arranging the dominion of the world so that the partnership of mankind was essential for the accomplishment of His purposes. Through his unique perspective on this often-misunderstood subject, best-selling author Dr. Myles Munroe takes the mystery out of prayer, providing practical answers for difficult questions about communicating with God.

Spiritual warfare is real, and we are all involved whether we like it or not. The Bible plainly tells us that Satan schemes against humanity and that he wants to devour us. Daily we struggle against Satan's strategies and desire to take over God’s kingdom. This battle will not go away, and ignoring it could be disastrous. But don't be afraid. The victory is already won by Christ. No enemy is powerful enough to overcome the risen savior. In this book, Mark Bubeck exposes the reality of the conflict and the hope believers have.

If God is sovereign, how can I be free to choose? But if God is not sovereign, how can he be God? Is it possible to reconcile God's sovereignty with human choice? This is one of the most perplexing theological questions. It's also one of the most personal. In Hand in Hand, Randy Alcorn says that the traditional approach to this debate has often diminished our trust in God and his purposes. Instead of making a one-sided argument from select verses, Alcorn examines the question in light of all Scripture.

For most of us, fear is something we try to avoid. And fearing God hardly sounds like an occasion for joy. But Jerry Bridges shows how the fear of the Lord is actually the key that opens the door to a life of true knowledge, wisdom, blessing, and joy. We all want a deeper, more intimate relationship with God - one that's characterized by joy. But how does fearing God lead to joy? After all, aren't we supposed to love him and live in intimate relationship with him?

Deeper Understanding of the "Lord's Prayer"
This book assesses the Lord's Prayer giving the reader/listener greater context of elements of the prayer and the prayer as a whole. For example, the Lord's Prayer is not a mantra but a formula to communicate with God. That is not to say that there are no other formulas for prayer for Jesus said "Pray then like this", "like" being a keyword.
In the context of the day, I've heard that addressing God as Father wasn't done. The Father's son Jesus really ordains those in the Body of Christ to partake in the Family of Christ, adopted if you will, as children of God, all in the first few words "Our Father..." I realize that is a lot to assert, but what would the common untrained believer think back then? They would say, "Oh! We can say "Our Father", we are his Children!" and then the significance of their deep understanding of Family would plug into this new understanding of how to address God. You do not need an educational certification or certificate to understand this if you have a family which uses the model God has given us. There is instant revelation for people who have families in those times, and even in our times now, provided your family is modeled in a way God has intended. Even if your family is fractured, as can happen now or back in antiquity, if you have a biblical understand of the family, the revelation becomes instintanous by just knowing that Jesus gave us the words, "Our Father..." wow...
An earlier reviewer mentioned how his disciples were not scholarly, and they didn't require a nuanced view of the Lord's prayer: "Christ did not use a theological college to interpret his words or prayers.. he sermon-ed for the common man for his simple uneducated heart to understand."
As I always say, it was Jesus the Christ, not Jesus Ph.D. Only the awards, honors, and accolades from man are of man. You can't take your degree to the gates of heaven like a ticket to disney. Our having or not a Ph.D. in Theology may or may not validate our knowledge and understanding of the bible. Degree program or not, it is our obligation to understand God's word at deeper levels and continue to do so. I also laugh at the above-quoted review because God's word is not superficial. As if, Jesus's spoken word should be simply read once and we move on, nay friend, each iteration over God's word should be considered in greater meaning and purpose, and then applying that understanding to the greater context of his word is so necessary for understanding his word correctly, and in this case even our prayer life.
Is the "Lord's Prayer" ready out of the can for the simple? Yes, and I feel reciting the "Lord's Prayer" is worthy, honorable and even necessary. Should we take the "Lord's Prayer" as the food we are given, learn about its ingredients, understanding the flavors and the sustenance it contains so as to apply it to our prayer lives? Absolutely. The Lord puts the cookies on the lower shelf and the upper shelf. As we grow we naturally eat the cookies on the higher shelves.
My feeling is that this book helps us to deepen our understanding of this prayer in a wider way, and also provides tools for applying that understanding to the greater context of the bible. We can take the approach the author used for this prayer, and think about other scriptures and prayers in similar ways.
This book was valuable and an excellent length so as to cover the content, with consideration of the pace of life we all have. The narrator was a great fit for the content too, great packaged content! It deepens our prayer life.

A Few Good Insights
The author had a few good Insights. I would like to review thos sections again with a kindle or hard copy. The use of the word "Hallowed" and his thoughts on the "Give us this Daily Bread" section I look forward to reading again.
His writing style is dry. Not very creative... straightforward at times. Certain sections I would stop reading listen to something else. This book did not captivate my attention as others on the TLP have.
Mohler does not use personal examples very much. I would have liked to hear how the prayer transformed his life. As such his contention that this is the revolutionary world changing prayer is not convincing. He makes it sound initially like Jesus prayer pops out of a vacuum and does not refer, compare and contrast it to 1st century prayer approach of the Jews.
if you are Reformed or Calvinist in your theology you might like it better.
Finally IMO it's always a great benefit to focus on The Lord's Prayer. I definitely benefited from reading this book even if it was slow going at times.

Opinionated theological fluff
The sermon on the mount is profound as is the Lord's Prayer.
This title is an academic Christian theologic interpretation of this prayer within boundary conditions of all of the understandings or misunderstandings within the mainstream Christian religion.
I tried this title wishing to understand what Christian theologians understand of this prayer of most high.
There are some good material within but it is interspersed with rigid ideals.
Problem with this content is that its conclusions simply wrap you into that of theological understanding. Fact is it is more complex than that which is understood by theologic minds. Theologians try to corner God into this not that not that.
The heart understands what these words mean. Christ did not use a theological college to interpret his words or prayers.. he sermon-ed for the common man for his simple uneducated heart to understand.
Prayer is prayer as long as you are surrendering yourself communing with your father with all your heart..but firstly get a proper translation of the Lord's Prayer from the greek.
