Exploring and Applying the Lord's Prayer: A prayer to change the world

In these pages you are invited to explore the Lord's Prayer, as if you were exploring a great house. The chapters follow each phrase in turn and there are questions for personal reflection or group discussion.

Given understanding and a willingness to take it to heart, the Lord's Prayer will not only teach us to pray, it will revolutionise the way we think and the way we live. The prayer is so much more than a gentle murmur as we affirm the familiar words. It is a prayer to change the world - beginning wit those who pray it.

Born in Great Malvern, Worcestershire, England, John Belham has a scientific background, but for most of his life has had the privilege of serving with some very wonderful people, first in suburban ministry, then as Rector of a group of country parishes, and more recently assisting with city ministry. He is married with four grown-up children and delights in the Lord God, his word, his people and his creation.
