Summary:
Many Christian families have never experienced the joy and spiritual benefits of family worship practice rooted in history, but largely neglected in our day. In this down-to-earth book, Donald Whitney offers parents a practical guide for leading their families in daily worship, walking readers through three crucial elements: reading Scripture, praying together, and singing songs in praise of Gods name. He then responds to common What if? scenarios, such as What if the father is not a Christian? and What if the children are very young? Looking to the Bible and church history, this guidebook promises to help parents establish a pattern of daily, God-honoring, spiritually uplifting worship in their homes.
