With Dr. Fletcher as our guide, the Lord’s Prayer becomes a brilliant teaching device, an ancient prayer that opens a pathway to a greater life for all denominations and faiths.

He connects the dots for us

When I first heard Doug Fletcher speak I knew I had found a new voice for thoughts that mattered to me and may well matter to you.

In The Only Prayer You’ll Need Doug has a way of getting to the very heart of things; he doesn’t just teach, he connects the dots for us. Using his ideas as a jumping off point has allowed me to discover and refine my own ideas. It’s a plunge I would encourage everyone to take.

Simple, Transformative Conversations with God

What a gift The Only Prayer You Will Ever Need is! It challenges the reader to examine the words of prayer and use them as a framework to achieve our best life. Never have we needed this book more than in today’s challenging world of COVID-19 and this time of a necessary reckoning leading to racial and social unrest. Thank you, Douglas Fletcher, for inspiring us to reach greater heights through simple, transformative conversations with God.

Pray for Grace Under Pressure

As Counselor to a President, I found words from Doug’s words from sermons or notes inspiring and guiding me – on 911, it was an email from Doug that made me realize Psalm 23 should be part of the President Bush’s address to the nation that night.

Now every time I face a difficult situation I pray a prayer inspired by one of Douglas Fletcher’s sermons in which he talked about how we all face pressure in our lives and how we shouldn’t try to avoid pressure but should pray for grace under pressure. His wisdom has guided and inspired me through several decades. Now THE ONLY PRAYER YOU’LL EVER NEED can help all of us get through difficult times.

Each Prayer Petition Comes Potently Alive

In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus of Nazareth gives humankind the quintessential way to approach God. In this wonderful book, The Only Prayer You’ll Ever Need, Douglas Fletcher offers us an excellent approach to the Lord’s Prayer itself. Using contemporary anecdotes, illuminating stories, and captivating appeals to the biblical texts, he teaches the Lord’s Prayer as a spiritual engagement with God that unleashes our full potential to experience the fulness of life that God intends. In his capable interpretative approach, each prayer petition comes potently alive. How we live with God becomes instruction for how we live amongst each other. If you would see the Lord’s Prayer from a new, both comforting and challenging perspective, this book is for you.

The gift of this book is to untie our tongues and enable us to speak

In THE ONLY PRAYER YOU’LL EVER NEED Douglas Fletcher asserts, rightly, that the wisdom attendant to the study and application of this prayer is valuable to those without religious affiliation. To the rest, those of us dumbstruck in the presence of our God who listens and cares, the gift of this book is to untie our tongues and enable us to speak – speak even to The Almighty from the depths of our souls and also to open conversations with each other about life’s most important matters.
