5.0 out of 5 stars This is a short analysis of the Lord's prayer., November 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Lord's Prayer (Paperback)

This book, by Romano Guardini, takes the Lord's prayer and analyzes it line by line, with Guardini, in his profound, deep and masterful manner explaining the true nature and meaning of this prayer, and evoking more respect, insight into its depth, and understanding of its significance. A reading of any of Guardini's books is in itself a spiritual experience, for he was a man of God and a very powerful beacon of spiritual energy and strength. He was also a master of words, and this prayer is filled with words that symbolize, on a deep deep level, the nature and workings of God in our lives. As with all of Guardini's writings, I highly recommend this - he is one writer one should not be without.

This review is from: The Lord's Prayer (Paperback)

Romano Guardini, the noted theologian most famous for his book entitled "The Lord", here meditates on the words and meaning found in the Lord's prayer. I've found numerous new and gainful insights and now pray the Lord's prayer on a deeper and more substantial level.

This review is from: The Lord's Prayer (Paperback)

Read this book if you want truly deep, spiritual instruction. As usual, Romano Guardini's insights are the fruit of his years of prayer and study. What I like best is that whenever you read this book, it is like you tackled it for the first time. I used this book all during Lent and plan to use it in the future. My awareness of the depth of the Lord's Prayer has been greatly increased. If you want depth in your spiritual reading, read this book!
