Reviews

[Jeff Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

This isn't a commentary to the Lord's Prayer, but its a good book to read while studying it. I really enjoyed this and actually used it to break down and help my youth group get something out of the prayer Christ gave to His disciples. Highly recommend.
