Pray Then Like This

By Jaime Marcelino

Pastor Jaime Marcelino writes daily devotions shared in Portuguese on Facebook and WhatsApp. During nine days he examined the Lord's Prayer, where Jesus began teaching in Matthew 6:9 by saying "Pray then like this..."
The devotions include:
1. Pray to whom?
2. How holy you are!
3. Reign in us!
4. Wonderful will!
5. And our daily sustenance!
6. Only if I forgive?
7. How I am fragile!
8. I am such an easy prey!
9. Hallelujah! The Father rescues us!

This 9 day devotion book was translated into English so that many could be blessed by a deeper knowledge of the Lord's prayer.
