Review
So many books on prayer offer techniques and tips about enhancing prayer life but leave the reader adrift when it comes to actually praying. In Lord, Teach Me to Pray in 28 Days, Kay Arthur goes right to the ultimate role model and expert on prayer: the Lord Jesus Christ. When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray, He said, "Pray, then, in this way. " In the five short verses that followed, affectionately known as the Lord's prayer, Jesus gave Christians an inexhaustibly rich outline that enables us to transform the way we pray. . . and live. Kay Arthur writes "The Lord's prayer is a collection of index sentences, covering every element of prayer. Therefore, when you follow sentence by sentence, principle by principle, yo find yourself covering every possible aspect of prayer. Every requirement for prayer, every element of worship and praise, every perspective of intercession and petition is covered in the Lord's prayer. What a treasure our Lord gave us!" Lord, Teach Me to Prayer in 28 Days is sure to inspire a new confidence, hope, and joy in every believer who longs to enrich his or her prayer life and deepen his or her faith. -- Midwest Book Review

Wonderful for instruction in prayer
I have had trouble with daily prayer & a daily quiet time the past couple of years. I pulled this book off the shelf and was determined to revitalized my prayer life. Every morning I read a short section from the book, writing down the scriptures, taking notes. Then I write my prayer for the day - incorporating what I've learned from the book with my "usual" prayer.

This has kick-started my desire to pray. It has reminded me that the Lord's prayer is the perfect model of how to pray. I am including more elements in my prayer than just "help me & my friends" petitions.

I like Kay Arthur's personal approach. She is solid biblically, but she doesn't come off sounding like a Bible scholar. She sounds like a loving, mature friend in the church who comes to meet with you daily and remind you how much our Lord wants to meet with us in prayer. She gently shows us scriptures about prayer and asks us questions that make us think about those scriptures and prayer.

Lastly, I just felt guilty when I looked through books that told me I wasn't really serving God unless I was spending an hour a day in prayer. Now I've found myself praying longer and longer - sometimes having an hour-long quiet time but out of love for God, not out of guilt or duty.

The Lord's Prayer
This is a good book for new christians or someone looking for some direction in their prayer life. Arthur goes through the Lord's prayer and interprets its principles. She does a great job of interpreting through scripture and meditation. The book is best suited for a bible study group. It is very interactive and makes you think. A good, solid book on prayer.

Good study of prayer! Very helpful.
This short Bible study delivers exactly what it offers, applicable teaching on prayer. It's an excellent study for anyone, but if you have teenagers, get them into this foundational material. Focused on the Lord's Prayer (or as some call it, the Disciple's Prayer), Kay teaches on glorifying God, confessing our sins, and submitting to His will through our daily prayers. She uses Scripture almost exclusively to direct your thoughts through the study--that's the inductive method. One of the best!
