The Prayer of Jesus, or the Lord's Prayer, is among Christianity's most beloved teachings, a daily devotion practiced by Christians everywhere. If we could travel back in time to the ancient Holy Land and witness Jesus himself speaking and meditating upon these words, what would we learn?
On Original Prayer, acclaimed teacher and author Dr. Neil Douglas-Klotz immerses us in the language and philosophy of Jesus's world to reveal a practice with the power to change forever the way we experience sacred scripture. Neil Douglas-Klotz begins by revealing the rich layers of meaning enfolded within the Lord's Prayer in Aramaic—the language that Jesus and his disciples actually spoke.
Through his insightful Aramaic translations, Douglas-Klotz opens a window into the Lord's Prayer that allows us to hear and understand the teachings of Jesus as he authentically taught them 2,000 years ago. A way to experience scripture directly, through the body verse-by-verse, Original Prayer guides us through a series of 24 specific practices of body prayer—the original Middle Eastern form of meditation that uses chant, breathing, and awareness to engage the entire body and spirit in contemplation of scripture.
These are the same kinds of devotions used by the first Christians to delve into the Gospels not as a scholarly exercise but as a living and breathing experience of God. In the fertile spiritual landscape of the ancient Middle East, prayer, meditation, and scriptural study were practiced as a single contemplative path. Now, with Original Prayer, you have within your reach the definitive resource for experiencing this luminous practice, using one of the most enduring cornerstones of the Christian faith—the Lord's Prayer.

Beautiful chants and prayers to connect with the Divine Spirit. Fresh and deep perspectives.
I think that anything that Neil Douglas-Klotz says or writes is worth attending to. This set was apparently made a few years ago earlier in his career and has more introductory remarks and explanations than do later works. Later works are more succinct. If you want to understand what the prayer that Jesus taught (aka The Lord's Prayer) is about and what it calls us to, this CD set is for you.
This set of CDs with Neil Douglas-Klotz has changed my life! It has opened up the Lord's Prayer in ways that I could not even have imagined, and every word rings with truth. I have used years of my life studying the different Religions of the world, and even have a degree in the Science of Religion, but I could happily exchange all of that for what I have learned from Douglas-Klotz. I would have been better off putting my time and effort into just studying my Christian roots in Aramaic, and I dare say I would even have been a happier person if I had done that, since the Aramaic clarifies and expands so many of the things that in my mind have seemed limiting in our mainstream Christian traditions. I can highly recommend this set of CDs to anyone interested in what Jesus - Yeshua - actually said. It will expand your world and open wide the doors to a deeper spirituality and connection with the Divine, with Sacred Unity, with God.
Love this 8 cd set. It brings to focus the true meanings of the words of Jesus. Neil Douglas Klotz makes it easy to learn and in body the seed sounds of the original words spoken by Jesus. This is a best buy.
