This is an amazing book with a translation of "The Lords Prayer" directly from Aramaic to English. It is very different from the King James version of this prayer - far more loving, far more understandable (for example the phrase "lead us not into temptation" is actually translated "let us not enter into temptation").

The opening of the prayer in Aramaic is "abwoon amashmaya" - which is translated in the King James Bible as "Our Father." In Aramaic, abwoon translates into "the one from whom the breath of life comes" or "the one who loves me unconditionally."

Anyone who uses the Lord's prayer will gain exquisite understand of what the words actually mean. Simple, easy to read and understand but scholarly and thoroughly researched. A treasure of a little book.

Errico presents the Lord's Prayer with a key refinements to the current perception of what is meant, and reveals that each line is actually an attunement.
Just read it, you'll see what I mean. I found that I fell in love with the Lord's Prayer. :)

True to the original meaning of the prayer.
