    About this ebook

    Who could improve upon the Lord’s Prayer? Its universal appeal is engrained in everyone who has prayed it repeatedly. Yet there are new insights to be gained by studying it from a different perspective. When Jesus taught his disciples to pray the Lord’s Prayer, he spoke from an Aramaic viewpoint that offers many levels of meaning.
    As you learn the history of the Lord’s Prayer and then study each phrase, you will recognize a profound framework for spiritual growth. Building around God’s desire for unity among all creation, each petition is explored to reveal internal, external, literal, metaphorical, and mystical treasures common to the Aramaic language. Praying and meditating on the traditional words of the Lord’s Prayer, rooted in the language Jesus spoke, will rekindle your love for its shared wisdom.
