Our Father, written by Sophie Piper, uses the text of
The Lord’s Prayer, Psalms 23, as the basis for book. The book’s introduction
gives further explanation: “It is here presented line by line alongside prayers
and reflections that shine a light on the meaning.”
Each two-page spread starts with a line from this Psalms,
and adds other Bible verses, some poems/prayers and some quotes. For instance, for the line “Hallowed
be your name,” she uses a quote from Psalm 8:1, 3-4, a prayer from St. Patrick
(who lived from 389-461), and a poem from Lois Rock.
The book
is intended as a gift book.
The illustrations by Angelo Ruta are beautifully done.
