Alone with God

MacArthur, a pastor-teacher at Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, Calif., offers this guide to reclaiming the act of prayer through analysis of the life of Jesus Christ. The author explores the meaning, power, and importance of the Lord’s Prayer and offers a study guide for both personal and group use in an effort to help Christians discover fresh and earnest insights about faith and prayer. Maurice England’s simple and straightforward narration is a perfect match for MacArthur’s prose. Allowing the author’s work to shine in an uncomplicated and undecorated manner, England reads with passion and confidence throughout, sounding more and more like an actual preacher himself, but without chastising listeners.
