God's greatest desire is to be your dwelling place -- The home for your heart.
He doesn't want to be merely a weekend getaway. He has no interest in being a Sunday bungalow or even a summer cottage. He wants to be your mailing address, your point of reference, your home ... always. He wants you to live in the Great House of God.
Using the Lord's Prayer as a floor plan, Max Lucado takes you on a tour of the home God intended for you. Warm your heart by the fire in the living room. Nourish your spirit in the kitchen. Seek fellowship in the family room. Step into the hallway and find forgiveness.
It's the perfect home for you. After all, it was created with you in mind. There's only one home built just for your heart. No house more complete, no structure more solid:
The roof never leaks. The walls never crack. The foundation never trembles.
In God's house, you're home. So come into the house built just for you. Your Father is waiting.

This book takes the reader through the various parts of the Lord’s Prayer giving examples of how to pray during each part of the prayer as well as fleshing out characteristics of God which can be found in each line or even word of the prayer. The simple writing style, vocabulary, and content left much to be added to this book.

Another amazing book by Max Lucado! I love how he breaks down the Lord’s Prayer into simple terms we can all understand. How we walk through each room and find God’s desire for our lives. I could picture myself in the house of the Lord with lots of light, love and a warm welcome.

A lovely, slow trip through the Lord's prayer. As each phrase is examined, Lucado shows how God hides us safely in His heart, providing for our every need.

This is a devotional book about The Lord’s Prayer. This is the much loved prayer taught by Jesus. However, the saying of The Lord’s Prayer may start to be said by rote, with not much thinking done about the words being recited. This book wants you to slow down, think about the words, understand who God is, and how He wants to bless us. The prayer is examined line-by-line, and a chapter is devoted to each line to look in-depth at the meaning.
The author is a talented writer who communicates his ideas clearly. He goes through the prayer using examples from everyday life that are easy to relate to. He talks about God being our dwelling place, and extends that idea using the Lord’s Prayer. Max compares different parts of the prayer to different rooms of a house–God’s house, a place that He wants you to be a part of.
This is a good book, and easy to read, although the subject matter makes you think. If thoughtfully read, it will give you new insight into The Lord’s Prayer, as well as, the love God has for each of us. There is also a good study guide at the end of the book that could be used for a group, or individually, for an even deeper experience. I give this book five stars, and recommend it for anyone who wants a fresh look at The Lord’s Prayer, and the blessings that come from it.
The publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through Thomas Nelson Publishing for the purpose of review. All opinions expressed are my own, and I have not been compensated in any other manner. Despite my receiving the book free, it has not influenced my judgment, and I have given an honest opinion.

When I realized that this book takes The Lord's Prayer and uses it as a floor plan of the House of God, I remembered hearing a similar sermon many years ago. Since the publishing date is 1997, perhaps my pastor used Lucado's book as a guide for that sermon. Good idea, I say!
Max Lucado takes an in-depth look into the most famous prayer. He breaks down The Lord's Prayer by words and phrases. He entertains with scripture and personal anecdotes which reminds the reader of the greatness of God.
Included is a chapter-by-chapter study guide with three sections for each chapter: Let Us Ponder, Let Us Prepare, and Let Us Pray. This book can be used as a personal devotional or for a group study material.
Thank you to Booksneeze for my copy.
