One World: The Lord's Prayer from a Process Perspective - Paperback

by Bruce G. Epperly (Author)

Rediscover the Lord's Prayer as a Gateway to Holy Adventure

Is the Lord's Prayer merely a ritual you recite, or is it a radical call to partnership with God? In One World: The Lord's Prayer from a Process Perspective, best-selling author and theologian Bruce Epperly invites you to experience this ancient prayer as a "spiritual GPS" for the modern world, .

Moving beyond the image of a distant ruler, Epperly introduces a "relational, open-spirited" God who is both "Infinite" and "intimate"-a "fellow sufferer who understands", . Through the lens of process theology, this book reveals how the prayer challenges us to be "heavenly minded and earthly good," connecting our spiritual lives directly to contemporary issues like economic justice, environmental stewardship, and community healing, .

This book is designed not just to be read, but to be used. As part of the Topical Line Drives series, it offers deep scholarship in a concise, accessible format perfect for busy readers. Each chapter concludes with:

• "Living the Prayer of Jesus" Practical spiritual exercises, including the Examen and Lectio Divina, to help you embody the prayer in daily life, .
• "Questions for Conversation" A robust study guide specifically crafted to spark dialogue and reflection.

Whether you are a pastor looking for a sermon series resource, a lay leader organizing a small group study, or a seeker wanting to deepen your personal devotion, One World offers a path from "temptation to transformation". Don't just repeat the words-join the adventure of healing the world.
