I learn something from Terry Johnson about historic Christian worship (whether public, private or family) every time I read him. This book (a wonderful companion to my well-worn copy of his Family Worship Book) is not only a practical help to families seeking to strengthen (or begin) their practice of family devotions, but has multiple other uses and applications. It is something that I will use with those preparing for the ministry. Its rich devotional and historical theological insights have already blessed me as I read it myself.

... taps into deep streams of Biblical and traditional wisdom in order to show parents how a recovery of family worship is perhaps the most important thing that we can be doing in order to raise our children as disciples of Jesus.
-- Joe Barnard (Pastor, Holyrood Evangelical Church, Edinburgh Author of The Way Forward, and Surviving the Trenches )
Clear, concise, and compelling, it grips the soul with a divine imperative and yet, warms the heart with the friendly touch of a father's hand upon the shoulder. I feel sure my family shall be very much the better for its arrival, and yours can be too if you will but read, mark, learn, and practically apply its truth to your most precious of all possessions - your family.

It is vital that we recover the practice of family worship. Here we find Biblical principles, pastoral encouragement, and practical examples to help us. May it be widely used to help parents, so that our children are instructed in the ways of the Lord and ultimately come to know the Saviour.
