Recommendations- Family Worship Guide May 9, 2007
Posted by Erin in : Family Worship Series , trackbackJoe,
I realized that I cut you off on the catechism. You said you had wanted to go more into it and I just plunged on ahead. Please forgive me for not looking back at your post. Feel free to jump back and say anything more about that. Maybe you could include more when we do a catechism recommendation.
Today I am going to recommend a few family worship guides. I know there are many people out there who are just plain intimidated by the thought of leading family worship. These guides are a great blessing to help lead and guide you in your family worship time.
First I just wanted to recommend one book and sermon on family worship. The book is by Don Whitney and is called Family Worship and comes highly recommended by many well-respected theologians and writers. And the sermon is one by George Whitefield called The Great Duty of Family Religion on the text of Joshua 24:15.
And then as far as family worship guides go, I have not seen many out there, but the ones from Children’s Desiring God look wonderful. We ordered the two family devotional guides that they offer in their Intergenerational Curricula. The first is called The Righteous Shall Live by Faith and is a study for the family on the ten commandments. The second is called Lord, Teach Us to Pray and is a family devotional study on Jesus’ teaching on prayer. Both have 13 lessons are are recommended from ages 1st grade to adult. So we haven’t started using them yet, but Abby is nearing the age.
Hopefully these resources will be a help in giving you a place to start or a sample to follow. And Joe, you, may even have some more to add!
Rejoicing together with you,
Erin
