Jesus' Prayer: The Christian Story-Notes of an Explorer is based on the premise that the Christian story is most clearly told by the words of Jesus as recorded in the four Gospels. Jesus' remarkable prayer, known as the Lord's Prayer, provides an outline of the essential Christian story. In this book, the petitions of that prayer are used as a framework for presenting and discussing the teachings of Jesus about God's existence, character, kingdom, will, provision, forgiveness, guidance and deliverance. Jesus' teachings are referenced to an appended chronological summary of the life of Jesus so that the reader may appreciate the context of his sayings. These Notes will be of value to those interested in reviewing the ground of their faith through the words of Jesus and to those who seek a basic understanding of the Christian story.
