Book Description

About the Book
This book contains 7 meditations on the Lord's Prayer. The Lord's Prayer is a part of Jesus's teachings in the Sermon on the Mount. In this part of the sermon, Jesus addresses the proper way to pray by providing a model prayer, so that Christians have a type of checklist that helps them to see if their prayer life is on track. What these meditations reveal is that the Lord's Prayer can be seen as Jesus's path to enlightenment. Jesus taught, in this prayer, a seven-step process for acquiring spiritual purpose and wisdom. One of the interesting features of these meditations is the way in which they have been shown to correspond to the chakra energy centers identified by yogis of Eastern religious traditions. In this sense, the Lord's Prayer is a universal road map to the throne of God, where we offer ourselves in the form of an obedient servant, ready to do God's will.

Introduction
These meditations on the Lord's Prayer grew out of a Sunday school class titled "Meditation 101" and a sermon from this portion of scripture titled "Check Yourself before You Wreck Yourself." What these meditations reveal is that the Lord's Prayer can be seen as Jesus's path to enlightenment. Jesus taught, in this prayer, a seven-step process for acquiring spiritual purpose and wisdom. One of the interesting features of these meditations is the way in which they have been shown to correspond to the chakra energy centers identified by yogis of Eastern religious traditions.
