John Sack takes the Lord’s Prayer
to a whole new level, offering it as
a blueprint for the
contemplative and mystical life.
He draws upon
history, literature, poetry and his
first-hand appreciation of other
religious traditions in presenting an
extended guidebook to meditation
upon these universal and much
loved words of Jesus. Through a
series of meditative reflections,
the author (a former Cistercian
monk) explores each phrase of this
much-loved prayer. He also
examines the Aramaic roots of the
prayer, the original form in which
Jesus taught it to his followers, to
suggest interpretations beyond the
traditional Western understanding.
“An uplifting, fabulous romp through
the world’s great spiritual
traditions. In a world torn apart by
a thousand hatreds and a rising tide of
fundamentalism, this book’s theme—
that spiritual wisdom is timeless and universal— is
urgently needed. Superb,
simply superb.” — Larry Dossey, MD; author:
The
Extraordinary Healing Power of
Ordinary Things and Healing Words: The Power of Prayer and
the Practice of Medicine.
