White follows a well-trodden path through the Lord's Prayer as a framework for developing our own prayer life.

My disappointment with the book is the same that I feel with most of his books. He does quite of bit of research and ingestion before writing. However, the book sometimes feels as if it is a highlight reel of the stuff he has read. It is more of a research paper than an original work. Of course, I have read many of the same books, so it feels very stale to me at those moments.

My delight with the book is also the same as I feel with most of his books. Occasionally, he will be himself. And when he does, the results can be breath-taking. A theologian who has the advantage of pastoring a start-up church (he is not holding the fort down for previous generations), he brings the research around to bear on real-world feelings in a very fresh way.
