Lord, Teach Us to Pray

About this book

A series of sermons on the disciples' request in Luke 11:1 by Alexander Whyte, the Edinburgh preacher known for his searching, imaginative style. Published in 1922, the sermons linger over the Lord's Prayer and the example of Christ's own prayer life. Whyte presses his hearers toward a deeper, more deliberate practice of prayer, learned at the feet of Jesus himself.
