When our passions overtake us-as they often will-compulsive and addictive behaviors can set in. We can become so entrenched in these negative patterns and habits that we may feel as if we have lost control of our lives. In Misguided Passions and the Lord's Prayer, Curt Richards examines the Lord's Prayer line by line and draws out comforting and reassuring insights that can be applied to the daily lives of anyone, especially those struggling with misguided passions. Richards shines a light on the beautiful universal truths found in the Lord's Prayer and offers encouragement and hope to those who feel trapped or weighed down by their misguided passions.
"In
Misguided Passions and the Lord's Prayer
, Curt Richards examines this message by carefully dissecting the Lord's Prayer and relating it to real-life scenarios. The story starts with a man being tempted to steal and gradually getting enticed to steal more because of the feeling of "false pleasure" in it. In his book, he discusses how these behaviors influence our emotions, creating an uncontrollable passion that leads to sin. This uncontrollable passion is very toxic, and the roots of addiction come about from sin, including any possible mental health issues of the individual.
Curt's book provides an accurate insight into the Bible, breaking down the Lord's Prayer and dissecting every line to its meaning. He gives the reader a better breakdown and grasp of God's plan and purpose and our duty to evangelize the gospel to the unsaved. I endorse Curt's work and look forward to one day having the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the details of the Bible."

"I really enjoyed reading this book and would recommend this book for everyone to read-it brought the Lord's Prayer to life. Curt Richards does this by not only providing historical connections but also aligning the message of the Lord's Prayer to our time. In addition, Curt breaks the prayer into parts, which gives an in-depth insight into its meaning. This is an easy-to-read book that gives a feeling of comfort."
