Summary: Worship golf or Christ?
Review: "The Prayer of Jesus" is an indepth look at HOW to pray and not just a montra to recite everyday. Hank walks you through the "Lord's Prayer" from the New Testament and explains the way to really prayer like Jesus. He uses personal examples to draw your attention to important keys to a meaningful prayer life. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know the "whats and hows" on prayer. It has been a blessing to me and I hope it will be a blessing to your prayer life.

Summary: KEY TO PRAYER: THY WILL BE DONE, O LORD
Review: Hank has done the Christian world and all those who would consider Christianity a monumental favor with this book about
Prayer and praying Jesus' way.

He points out that prayer is not trying to get God to change His mind or will, but to change US to conform to His already perfect will and purpose for the Kingdom and our role in it.

The LORD's Prayer is simply the cornerstone to effective prayer in the life of the believer, not a rote formula or recitation to get God to automatically respond. It is a model, a framework of what proper, God pleasing prayer is all about.

Prayer is not merely about us and our needs of the moment; it is about HIM and HIS WILL. Hank makes the point that the Lord's Prayer starts and ends with God in Heaven, His Kingdom and Glory
and that the purpose of all Christ-honoring prayer is to maximize the glory of the Lord by what we pray, how we pray, the faith/hope we bring to prayer, our expectancy, and how serious we take the two critical factors that end every biblical prayer:
"In Jesus' Name" and "Amen".

Prayer is RELATIONSHIP, not just realization of our needs/wants.
"Our Father" sets the tone for what true prayer is all about.
Hank does a great job in showing that our walk with Christ determines Who our true Father is and how the mutual love relationship plays itself out in the Family of God. It's not what we can get out of God that counts, but what He can get into us of His Spirit and being filled with His love and presence.
It's 'Presence' over 'Presents'.

Finally, this book is a great corrective to many misunderstood
beliefs about Prayer of Jabez, for example, which many folks try to use as a formula for blessing rather than a template of a godly life lived in proper relationship with the One we pray to.
While God is more eager to bless/grant prayers than we are inclined to ask, we still need to ask aright,putting first things first: Our Father must come first and His will prevail.
Why would we want to receive any less than God's best for us?

This book will literally revolutionize your prayer life. When we prayerfully draw closer to Abba Father, becoming more Christ-like
in the process of a life of prayer, we are filled with the Spirit
and find more of our prayers answered as conforming more and more
to His perfect will. When we receive more of the Giver Himself,
the gifts/blessings come along as added benefits, but if we focus on the gifts/blessings, we lose out on deeper communion/
intimacy with the Giver, the Lover of our souls.

Makes an excellent gift and is one of those rare books that should be read multiple times in a year for maximum blessing!

Summary: Peaches and Cream
Review: I have had real concern about Prayer of Jabez type, fast food, self-centered prayer. THen Hank came through again with The Prayer of Jesus. This book is awesome. He teaches prayer from the Master, the Lord Himself, Jesus. I even bought a copy for my pastor and he is really enjoying it too.

Thank you Hank!

Summary: The Message in this Book is what Prayer is About
Review: I'm glad that there are a few people that refuse to get caught up in the "Fast Food" way of praying. Hank helps one to see the meaning and purpose of prayer through this tiny 96 or so page book. Hank is one of the most encouraging Bible teachers of our day. He has encouraged me to not look at prayer as only a tool to get God's/Elohim's blessing, but that being able to commune with the most high is the blessing.

Summary: A Sweet Book with Gold Nuggets for the Believer
Review: If you are looking for a scholarly study of the Lord's Prayer, this is not the book for you. This is a collection of folksy stories, tender insights, and pithy sayings. The vignettes are sweet and heart warming. The insights are clear and true. The sayings (I have highlighted them)are memorable.

But the book doesn't explore the grandeur, power, and fullness of the Lord's Prayer as I hoped. I ended up knowing more about Hank but not much more about Jesus.

But for the nuggets alone, it was worth the reading time:
"The secret to prayer is secret prayer."
and
"At present we are sandwhiched between the triumph of the cross and the termination of time - between D-Day and V-Day."
and
"The tragedy is not in dying young, but in living large and never using your life for eternal significance."

These are precious gems and I appreciate the kindness, humility, and tenderness he expresses; that much at least, is certainly like Christ.

Summary: Another Excellent Christian Resource¿
Review: My wife bought me this book a few months ago; she knows I am a fan of Hank Hanegraaff, and enjoy his books. This is actually the third book of his that I have read, and I can't wait for an opportunity to give this book to someone in need of a text that discusses the model prayer of Jesus. I saw Hank Hanegraaff speak about his book a few weeks before it hit shelves, and he was very excited about it. I think that this book definitely lives up to his hopes.

Primarily, this book discusses in detail the Lord's prayer, or the prayer of Jesus, as Hank Hanegraaff terms it. I think that this book beautifully explains, in plain language, the careful wording and underlying meanings of the prayer that Jesus wanted to leave his friends with.

For me, the foremost thing that I took away from this book was that I don't need to pray for tomorrow and next week and all of my long term goals and needs. Jesus leads us by example and shows me that I need only to pray for my needs "this day". Again, I enjoyed this little book a great deal, and I highly recommend it.

Summary: The author lives like he writes
Review: Since Hank Hanegraaff is a personal friend, I watched as this book took shape over several months. I was impressed that Hank is as candid in his writing as he is in his personal life. He is not embarrassed about his failings nor boastful about his triumphs. He looks for the lessons God has for him in each event of his life. This makes The Prayer of Jesus an exceptionally valuable book for people to learn how praying like Jesus told us to can transform our lives. Even if he were not a friend, and even if I had not seen the book develop, I would still highly recommend it as a challenging and encouraging introduction to the importance of a Christ-centered, prayerful life. There are not false promises of quick fixes, material prosperity, or spiritual breakthroughs without discipline, commitment, or time. Thankfully, the book focuses on the daily practices that turn neophyte believers into mature Christian role models. I highly recommend the book to anyone who is serious about putting God first.

Summary: Interjecting the real faith
Review: This book 'Prayer of Jesus' interjects the faith through Jesus Christ our Lord. Many people are not making the right connection to pray to the Father in the Heavenlies. The word of God (The Holy Scriptures) reeferences: 'NO ONE!!!! comes to the Father (GOD) but by JESUS CHRIST (*check refs) -- as to this powerful verse. Hank H, the author is a brilliant writer inspired by the HS - he writes his 'thesis' on 'The Prayer of Jesus' --
The reason many tragedies are happening, is because many are praying to other 'gods' like: St. Mary, St. Jude, St. Barthalomew, St. Theresa, and many more saints, who are 'DEAD' -- BURRIED. aLSO MANY ARE PRAYING TO other false 'gods' like 'ALLA'- the god of 'Kaball' - and -- THEIR OWN BRAINS, Maharishi, Islams gods, the god of the law of Moses, and other false fascinations of imaginations.

If many were praying or at least one person was praying to Jesus Christ in the Heavenlies, at the WTC tragif bombing, in the 9/'11 NYC tragif - massacre, and Washg DC, bombing, then this tragig bombing from the hell forces would not have occured. We have to pray to Jesus Christ only, to iinterceed for others in this world of confusion and death-problematic world. This book tells us 'Pray without ceasing' In the name of 'The Father, The Son, and the Holy Ghost. Many others at the WTC , were praying to their 'Stock-brokers' fiinancial securities' -- (The god of Gold' inscribed in the OT 'The Golden Calf' (check bible refs)

We thank Hank H. the author for being the intercessore by the Holy Spirit to pray to the Father by Jesus Christ. --Also the worshiping of saints is a 'SIN' 'You shall have no other 'gods' besides the real GOD!! (OT) references) by Jesus Christ (NT) ordinance.

Read and buy this book to ascertain yourself of the real prayer the Jesus Prayer' -- is our Prayer.
