When Grace Comes Alive: Living Through the Lord's Prayer

Terry reveals the spiritual depth of the Lord's prayer. Each subject is covered in depth 'Actively praying for' includes contrition, God's will to be accomplished, removing temptation etc. 'Attitude in prayer' includes arguing our case before God, keeping an eternal perspective, the prayer covenant, pleasing God, reverence, etc. This is a profoundly accessible book, one that cleverly combines the theology of the Lord's Prayer with down-to-earth application. Terry teaches us not only how we should pray but also how we should live. Sections I. Introduction, Our needs, Please God in Prayer II. The Preface of Praise III. The Petitions IV. The Benediction and Plea V. Persistence VI. Appendix, Bibliography, Index.

Reviews

[Chuck Bonadies · Rating 3 out of 5]

When Grace Comes Alive was recommend to me by my friend, Brad. I couldn't agree with him more; this is a great book. It not only warmed my heart, but was a great help as I preached through the Lord's Prayer. Highly recommended for those who wish to study the topic of prayer.

This is one of the best books on the subject of prayer that I have read. The author's traditional approach (using the Lord's Prayer as his outline) and his faithful exegesis combine with his winsome writing to make this book a benefit to anyone who cares about their conversations with God.
