This is a great little guide for family worship. The short introduction offers encouragement and helpful instructions for leading the family in devotional worship. The book itself is primarily a devotional commentary. For each chapter of the Bible, it presents a brief summary and offers helpful suggestions for basic application. It also highlights Christ-centered facets in the text. It works wonderfully with a Bible reading plan. The family can read a chapter of the Bible together and then read the very short devotional commentary and discussion. Fathers can use the commentary and suggested questions to help lead deeper discussion with his family.

This book presents a perspective on the family largely forgotten by the modern church. This volume features fifty-six authors such as: John Bunyan, Jonathan Edwards, John Gill, Matthew Henry, Martin Luther, R. C. Sproul, Charles Spurgeon and Thomas Watson. Each of them give a powerful testimony that the twenty-first-century church needs to be reminded of what she used to believe about family life. These authors bring a measure of the correction and the balm necessary to heal our amnesia and return us to biblical order.

This is one of the most thorough and thoughtful works on the theology of marriage and family. The authors touch on the current cultural crisis facing the divine institution and answer it with biblical and theological reasoning. The book is carefully and competently written. Highly recommended.

All the moving, changing shapes of a family are shown in Edith Schaeffer's imaginative reflections on infancy to grandmotherhood. She gives readers great ideas on how to support their family members and make moments memorable.
