First, many people recognize the importance of some expression of spirituality, even if they don't want the external trappings of religion. Second, many people recognize that there is something inherently wrong with the world, even if they don't know why things aren't right. Third, many people long for some sort of change or revolution that will set things right, even if they don't know how to make things right. In his latest book, The Prayer That Turns the World Upside Down, Al Mohler connects these three ideas to a 2,000-year-old prayer that originated with Jesus of Nazareth. Mohler argues that the ancient prayer that Jesus taught his disciples is important today. Of course this prayer is important for those who follow Jesus, but it's also important for anyone who senses the importance of spirituality, brokenness, and revolution. |
