About the Book
The Living Hour is a modern meditation on The Lord’s Prayer. It is written for progressive Christians, Unitarians, the SBNR (Spiritual But Not Religious), and people of all faiths. The book is divided into two parts: The Living Hour commentary and the New Century Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John). The Living Hour takes you below the surface meaning of the prayer’s words and Jesus’s larger teachings to discover fresh interpretations of the metaphors and parables contained in the Gospels.
The book’s SBNR commentary is richly supported by over 200 Gospel book citations, which makes the work perfect for discussion groups and progressive Bible study classes. Each citation is bookmarked so readers can easily flip back and forth between the Living Hour and the supporting New Testament passages. The entire work is searchable by using key words or phrases, which makes it an even more useful tool for independent Bible study.
