Description
Book SynopsisThis new series of Bible studies for the family is written for the parent in the pew. Each volume serves as an aid to fathers and mothers as they seek to lead their families in daily worship together. The lessons review the main point of the passage under consideration, offer suggested discussion points for children of a variety of ages, suggest songs to broaden the family’s song repertoire, and identify items of prayer.
Trade ReviewThe older Protestant authors frequently urge the practice of what they called "family religion," seeing it as a vital plank in God's program for the revival of vital Christianity. May we see a renewal in our day of this much neglected spiritual discipline, as Gleason guides the "little churches" that meet in homes through the Gospel of Luke.
-- Terry L. Johnson (Senior Pastor, Independent Presbyterian Church, Savannah, Georgia)
This guide offers the head of a household a concise analysis of the day's reading from Luke that he can review in two minutes, helpful guidelines for age-appropriate discussions, a suggested psalm or hymn to sing, and a starting point for family prayer. What a help and what a blessing!
-- Joel R. Beeke (Chancellor, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan)
The realities of practicing family worship often make the benefits seem distant or even inaccessible. We aren't sure what to say about a passage, how to apply the text in an age-appropriate way, or even what to pray. Geoff Gleason gently and helpfully takes the reader by the hand and simplifies the practice of family worship.
-- Jason Helopoulos (Senior Pastor, University Reformed Church, East Lansing, Michigan)
