The Lord’s Prayer must be the world’s most well known Christian prayer. Its words are used by Christians of all denominations living on every continent and it is one of the few prayers that most believers know by heart. In this book - based on a Songs of Praise programme broadcast in 2005 - Archbishop Rowan Williams and Sister Wendy Beckett reflect on the significance and meaning of this prayer. The book also contains personal accounts of how two men were challenged by particular phrases in the prayer and the impact this had on their lives.

Living the Lord’s Prayer provides an opportunity to discover how each phrase is packed with meaning if we take time to reflect. It will enrich our understanding of the words Jesus said when his disciples asked him: ‘Lord, how should we pray?’
