The Lord's Prayer, taught by Jesus Christ to his disciples, has been an enduring source of faith and inspiration. Heidi Holder gathers together all of God's creatures--the tiniest insect and the most delicate butterfly, the goldfinch and the salmon-crested cockatoo, the gentle deer and the powerful leopard--to illuminate the promise of the prayer and to celebrate the beauty of the world God created.Ms. Holder's extraordinary paintings accompany the text of the Lord's Prayer as it appears in the 1928 edition of the Book of Common Prayer.
