Synopsis

“Our Father, who art in heaven….”The opening words of the Lord’s Prayer have become so familiar that we often speak them without a thought, sometimes without any awareness that we are speaking at all. But to the disciples who first heard these words from Jesus, the prayer was a thunderbolt, a radical new way to pray that changed them and the course of history.Far from a safe series of comforting words, the Lord’s Prayer makes extraordinary claims, topples every earthly power, and announces God’s reign over all things in heaven and on earth. In this groundbreaking new book, R. Albert Mohler Jr. recaptures the urgency and transformational nature of the prayer, revealing once again its remarkable, world-upending power. Step by step, phrase by phrase, The Prayer That Turns the World Upside Down explains what these words mean and how we are to pray them.The Lord’s Prayer is the most powerful prayer in the Bible, taught by Jesus to those closest to him. We desperately need to relearn its power and practice. The Prayer That Turns the World Upside Down shows us how.

Goodreads review by Callie on April 25, 2018

Prayer is not something that comes naturally to me. I constantly struggle to fit in dedicated time for prayer, and then once I have it, I struggle to make my prayer time really meaningful. Any time I have a chance to read a book on prayer that I think will be actually helpful, I snag it. The Prayer T......more

Goodreads review by Erica on January 07, 2019

Ok, wow. This book is awesome! I didn’t plan it this way but this was such an awesome book to read at the beginning of the year to help frame and sharpen my prayer life. I ended up reading this with my Bible open to Matthew 5 and took so many notes there to remember the important ways Dr. Mohler exp......more

Goodreads review by Cole on May 19, 2020

I received this book at the 2018 T4G Conference and never took the time to sit down and read it. This morning, I sat down and read this little book on the Lord's Prayer and was quite encouraged. This is really well done.......more

Goodreads review by Emma on June 02, 2024

This book felt like an in-depth Bible study of the Lord's Prayer. For the first time, I feel like the title of the book didn't really encapsulate the overall message - Mohler came back a few times to the point that the Lord's Prayer is revolutionary, but it didn't feel central. Rather, he wrote of t......more
