I was drawn to this book because I have been a fan of Scott Erickson's artwork for many years. His art pairs wonderfully with Justin McRoberts' writing to create a beautiful book. It is comprised of short prayers with thought-provoking accompanying images, interspersed with reflections on the Lord's Prayer. I enjoyed reading this ebook, but cannot wait for the physical book to be released. It is definitely a book to read in its physical form so that you can see the two-page spread of prayer and image concurrently. It is a book you can return to in your daily personal prayers, and I am also looking forward to reading it with my Bible study group.
I received a digital ARC from NetGalley. It will be released on September 24, 2019.

It's a quick read. Four of the prayers have stuck with me and I have recorded them into my commonplace book.
"May I offer help far more readily and joyfully than I offer criticism"
"May I learn to offer my whole self as a gift to those around me rather than leverage my gifts for personal gain"
"May I never let my fear of being afraid keep me from facing darkness in or around me"
"May I have room for guilt to convict me without letting shame define me"
*I received an Advanced Reader's Copy from NetGalley and WaterBrook.*

A really unique way to view and pray The Lord’s Prayer. This is a quick and simple read, but it’s packed with insight and inspiration on how we should pray.

Thank you NetGalley for the Advanced copy.
This book is similar to Justin McRoberts and Scott Erickson's first collaboration, Prayer: 40 Days of Practice, but with a focus on the Lord's Prayer. Scott's illustrations pair with Justin's simple prayers, with a personal short story interspersed throughout. I loved this book as well as the first one for their simplicity, thoughtfulness, candor, and authenticity, and I can't wait for more books from these two!
