Hi
I am writing from Accra Ghana and I wish to express my gratitude for these podcasts.They really are God-sent. I cannot stop playing and listening and more importantly using them. I have also shared the ideas with friends and the Lords Prayer fits in perfectly with this weeks Bible Lesson on how to worship spiritually. Once again Thank You

Hi Barry, Hi Susie,
I have taken your podcast with me on my business trip and I really enjoy your insights, your fresh (actually rather quite ancestral) explanation of the meaning of the original word.
Thank you so much

Hi Millicent and Benoit,
You’re welcome. I’m grateful that you’ve enjoyed the podcasts. It was a joy to research and translate these vital biblical texts that I thought I understood and to learn so many new insights about them. Thank you for your gracious comments.

I just finished listening to the Lords Prayer series, it was so insightful and helpful. Although it was geared for young people, it is helpful to any age. I am way past Sunday School age and I really enjoyed it. When I was growing up in Sunday School we didn’t have the benefit of other resources outside of the local church and sometimes I wanted answers to questions I had but was too shy to ask. How lucky kids are today they can get answers to questions and learn so much on their own. Thanks for this and all the websites that are now available and the inspiration from them

I just finished listening to all the podcasts on the Lord’s Prayer. They bring fresh inspiration to my study of this week’s Christian Science Bible Lesson, which includes the complete text of the prayer. They also help bring healing to my heart. Right now, from a human standpoint, I’m in the middle of a bunch of human relationships, many broken and bruised. Thank you, Barry, for redirecting my thought to the core of the Lord’s Prayer–that our Wayshower directed us to pray out from the heart of “our Father”. This shows me that any prayer must have as its basis the awareness that we are all–without exception–sisters and brothers, with a common Father-Mother. Oh, how that automatically ripples through whatever I THINK I have come to God to pray about!
Thank you, Barry, for the study and research that went into these podcasts, but most of all, for your humility and love–they shine through every word.
