The Barber Who Wanted to Pray is an imaginative tale by R.C. Sproul which is based on a true story. Mr. McFarland was leading family devotions one evening when his daughter asked him how to pray. He weaves a wonderful tale about a barber who learns how to pray from an outlawed Monk. This outlawed Monk is non other than Dr. Martin Luther.
The Barber Who Wanted to Pray is a beautifully illustrated story which teaches children (and adults) how to pray using models such as the Lord’s Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and the Apostle’s Creed. The book contains the full text of the Ten Commandments, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Apostle’s Creed after the story concludes, so readers can implement the ideas that they are given in the story.
