Story
N. T. Wright argues that every world view must explain seven “signposts”, indicators inherent to humanity. Using the Gospel of John as his source, Wright shows how Christianity defines each signpost and illuminates why we so often see them as being "broken" and unattainable. Drawing on the wisdom of the Gospels, Wright explains why these signposts are fractured and damaged and how Christianity provides the vision, guidance, and hope for making them whole once again, ultimately healing ourselves and our world.

Story
What are we supposed to think about the coronavirus crisis? Some people think they know: ‘This is a sign of the End,’ they say. ‘It’s all predicted in the book of Revelation.’ Others disagree but are equally clear: ‘This is a call to repent. God is judging the world and through this disease he’s telling us to change.’ Some join in the chorus of blame and condemnation: ‘It’s the fault of the Chinese, the government, the World Health Organisation...’ Tom Wright examines these reactions to the virus and finds them wanting.

Story
>The Screwtape Letters, now in its 70th anniversary year, is an iconic classic on spiritual warfare and the power of the devil. This profound and striking narrative takes the form of a series of letters from Screwtape, a devil high in the Infernal Civil Service, to his nephew Wormwood, a junior colleague engaged in his first mission on Earth trying to secure the damnation of a young man who has just become a Christian. Although the young man initially looks to be a willing victim, he changes his ways and is ‘lost’ to the young devil.

Publisher's Summary
In this book of pastoral reflections, N. T. Wright explores how the Lord's Prayer sums up what Jesus was all about in his first-century setting. Wright locates the Lord's Prayer, clause by clause, within the historical life and work of Jesus and allows the prayer's devotional application to grow out of its historical context. The result is a fresh understanding of Christian spirituality and the life of prayer. This deeply devotional book will refresh and stimulate the heart and mind of any listener.

Short but helpful
The format of The Lord and His Prayer is a line by line exploration. NT Wright is both a scholar and a pastor. And what I really appreciate about his writing is that he is always pastoral in tone. He is writing about the Lord’s Prayer because he thinks it is an important part of our lives as Christians. He wants us to understand what we are praying and the context of historic Christianity that has used the prayer historically as well as the historic 1st century culture when the prayer was originally taught. The main themes of Wright’s work more generally are present here even though this was written before many of his better known books. He wants the reader to understand the proper role of eschatology (the end times) in regard to how we live our lives today as Christians (like his Surprised by Hope). He places the authority of scripture and the Lord’s Prayer not as independent authority, but because those words are from God himself (Scripture and Authority of God). And Wright is focusing on the Lord’s Prayer as a tool and practice of discipleship (After You Believe). NT Wright also has an excellent chapter on the Lord’s Prayer in his book Simply Good News: Why the gospel is good news and what makes it good news. But there is little overlap in material between that chapter (which focuses on how the order of the prayer orients us to understanding what the gospel is really about) and this book which is a line by line exploration of the prayer. But both are well worth reading because both are oriented around right theology and right practice of discipleship. Right now the audiobook is the cheapest way to get this book. The Kindle book is not available for purchase in the US right now. The paperback is not super expensive, but it is not much more than a long pamphlet. I think this would work well as a discussion book for a small group, in the paperback version there are six chapters of about 12 pages each.

Rich in truth and faith. High art. Deep thought.
I've listened three times now to soak it in. Excellent for encouraging prayer, commitment, and participation in the active life of faith in Christ. Narration excellent. Remarkable content, infused with the wisdom delivered to the author by a lifetime of deep and faithful study, and guided by the Holy Spirit. Fred Hickman, Santa Ana, California.

Excellent audio
This is the first time thread an in depth of the Lord's Prayer. Both the book and the narrator are great. I learned so much more and will be saying the Lord's Prayer in a different meaning of the parts of the prayer. So many different types of meaning and went through different books in our Bible to confirm. Excellent audio

Who doesn’t need encouragement on prayer
I love anything by N T Wright. He speaks in a language that helps me to engage as if in a dialogue with him. I love that this is a short book on Audible. I can listen over and over until the truths and ideas can settle into my heart and mind. The book has some great, new perspectives on The Lord’s Prayer. I enjoyed the narrator, as he sort of sounded like and spoke similarly to the author. I totally recommend this book!

A good book
This is a really good book, I have the print book so had the pleasure of reading and listening to it. In Tom Wrights clear and precise writing, I discovered a book that was full of uplifting and exciting imagery. The narrator brought it colour and expression. A very good listen that repaints the Lords Prayer in vibrant colour.

Very well read. From a mere lay person's point of view I would have liked access to this book years ago. So many questions answered and information to to reflect on.
