About the Book
Next to the 23rd Psalm, perhaps the most beloved and certainly the best-known passage in Scripture is the Lord’s prayer. The profound, eternal concepts compressed into its few, concise phrases shine with enduring brilliance. But despite its brevity, it has been an enormous benefit to many. In this book W. Phillip Keller, author of A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23, shares what The Lord’s Prayer means to him.
