The way Max Lucado paints the picture with words are remarkably wonderful. He walk you through the hallways of the Great House of God like no other. Excellent Book!

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.

Our mansions in heaven, room by room.

So many beautiful things await us in God's house and this book helps to give an insight into that. What a gracious God we have.

Max Lucado writes in a style that I can understand and to images he draws in this book I can easily relate to. Maybe anyone who has lived in a house that is called a home can. By sketching different rooms the parts of the Lords Prayer are explained and some often or less often questions asked are given answered to. For example: Why do we pray: "lead us not into temptation" when Bible teaches us that God doesn't tempt anyone. Or: "Give us today our daily bread" instead of more?
Interesting yet simple answers Max gives us in this short book.

Taking the floor plan of a house, Lucado relates it to the Lord's Prayer - from worship to provision for needs and back to worship. Each phrase of the prayer is related to a different room in the house.
Typical of his writing using anecdotes and stories on himself, this is a light and easy read with enough to think about to keep you engaged.

This book breaks down the Lord’s prayer into the rooms of a house and teaches us how to abide in His presence by remembering and studying that prayer. I enjoy books that take something familiar and somewhat rote and ask us to think about it in a different way.

I love this book! My sister let me borrow it but I had to buy my own copy as wanted to underline it. Max Lucado uses the image of a home to show the Lord's Prayer on a different slant. He makes what Jesus teaches so clear and I always come away from reading Mr Lucado´s work with an increased awe and love for God.
