LONGWOOD, FL-The daily stresses of modern society can seem unbearable at times. Fortunately, God has given Christians a blueprint for daily living. It's called the Lord's Prayer. Attorney and author Matt Wilson explains in The Godly Path of Least Resistance (paperback, 978-1-60477-033-9) that the Lord's Prayer is not only a prayer, but also a roadmap for avoiding the temptations and unnecessary difficulties of life. Simply repeating the prayer, however, will not help.
Examining the Lord's Prayer, word for word, element by element, Wilson reveals how to limit your exposure to temptation, to forgive your enemies, and to be content with God's daily provision. The Godly Path of Least Resistance is scholarly, yet personal. By intertwining Scripture with history, science, and the law, The Godly Path of Least Resistance unlocks the secrets of the Lord's Prayer, giving you practical insight into how God interacts with humanity. "I believe that every temptation that we face deals with our natural human desires for gratification, validation, and control," says Wilson. When you follow the principles outlined in the Lord's Prayer, you're able to bring your natural human desires under GodŐs control and live in the freedom God desires for His children.
Matt Wilson earned his Bachelor of Science in industrial engineering from Mississippi State University in 1998. He earned his Juris Doctor from Regent University School of Law in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and was admitted to the Mississippi Bar later that year. Today, he practices law in Starkville, Mississippi, where he resides with his wife and son.
