Notes: "[By] Reginald Hollis".; "The very essence of living the Christian life, of being a Christian, is our relationship with Jesus. We are to be related to him as integrally as a branch is connected to a tree. We are part of him in the way that a hand or foot is part of a body. .... In this series of meditations on the Lord's Prayer, the Sermon on the Mount, and the Ten Commandments, we are looking at the two themes of our relationship with [Jesus Christ] and our relationships with one another. The prayer which begins with our relationship with 'our Father' and his will, ends with our forgiveness of one another. In any case, it is clear from the beginning that it is 'our Father' and not 'my Father'. True prayer can never grow out os a religion of individualism. The Sermon on the Mount is a call to the life which grows out of a relationship with Jesus. It calls for complete integrity in our response to God. .... To include the Ten Commandments in a book about abiding in Christ may at first sound strange. The commandments are the old law, the ethic of the Old Testament. Although the 'new law' of the Sermon on the Mount takes us further, the old foundation still stands. Again the dual relation to God and neighbour is clear. The first four commandments speak of a relationship with the one God who is our creator. The other six deal with relationship with parents and neighbours and the whole business of living together in society. .... Meditations on Scripture should lead us to prayer. The prayers at the end of each meditation are not blank verse. They are set out in line form to mark out separate thoughts. The prayers collect up the thoughts of the meditations, but they are not offered primarily as prayers to be used. Just as the meditations are meant to stimulate personal meditation, so the purpose of the prayers is to lead the individual to pray". -- Intro.; Contents: Introduction -- The Lord's Prayer -- The Sermon on the Mount -- The Ten Commandments.; Author "was elected [Anglican] bishop of Montreal in 1974". -- back cover.

Notes: "[By] Christopher Page".; "As spiritual seekers we do not need more information about our faith. We need the tools of living transformed and transforming lives. These are the tools Jesus left to us hidden in the words of both the Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer. These passages of Scripture are meant to be lived, not simply to be used as the basis for developing elaborate doctrines and theologies." "The Beatitudes set out for us the attitudes and practices of the Christian life. The Lord's Prayer builds upon those principles and guides us in living in communion with God." "Each chapter is followed by two sets of questions and then a practice exercise. The exercises are the heart of this book. .... By pondering the questions at the end of each chapter and following the exercises, we may discover new realms of being opening within ourselves. We may encounter the living Wisdom of God. We may find ourselves living from a new place. We may meet the world with fresh eyes and a renewed compassion and hope". -- Intro.; Contents: Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- The Beatitudes -- Life Beyond Circumstance -- The Path of Poverty -- The Lesson of Mourning -- Gentle People -- What Are You Hungry For ? -- Giving and Receiving Mercy -- The Heart of the Matter -- Making Peace -- The Blessing of Suffering -- The Lord's Prayer -- Resting on God's Chest -- Praying in Two Dimensions -- Part of the Family -- Seeing Clearly -- The Kingdom That Is and Isn't -- Two Wills or One -- Real Bread -- Food Without Fear -- Unconditional Forgiveness -- Forgiveness is Letting Go -- The Dance of Forgiveness -- Deliverance from Suffering -- Toying with Temptation.; Author is an Anglican priest in the diocese of British Columbia.
