Description

Family Worship Made Simple!

Family worship is the practice of regularly gathering as a family to study God’s Word, pray, and sing songs of praise. But many parents are intimidated by the thought of leading these elements with their children, and consequently, family worship never gets off the ground in their homes.

The Foundational Truths for Family Worship series was written with the parents who are new to family worship in mind. Each entry is designed to be an all-in-one tool that includes a Scripture reading, brief teaching, prayer, song and hymn verse, and theology question and answer. These elements are not simply an aid to parents, but they are written to be read to your children.

This first volume on The Doctrine of Scripture seeks in thirty-eight entries to deepen our love for and trust in the Holy Scriptures by studying the attributes of Scripture, the glory of Scripture, and the covenants of Scripture. Whether you are new to family worship or are seasoned in the practice, this series will help you lead your family to worship the living God!

Endorsements

The Shema of Deuteronomy 6 bids God’s people to teach His word diligently to their children (v. 7). Among the challenges faced by believing parents today for obeying this all-important command is a biblically sound and practically shaped resource to accomplish the task. Kelsey has done the church a great service in this regard by writing a first-rate family worship guide utilizing the lost art of catechesis—question and
answer pedagogy. If you are looking for a top-notch strategy to anchor your kids on the firm foundation of the Christian faith, look no further. This first volume begins where all solid catechism formats must—the majesty, authority, and importance of the Holy Scriptures. The author equips you with appropriate texts, prayers, songs, and applications for a meaningful home-worship experience. Your kids will thrive, and you
will grow in faith and godliness as you tap the rich resources in this introductory volume—along with those that follow. This is family worship made easy to the end of family life made Christ-centered to the glory of God and the joy of parents and children alike.

If our children are to thrive by God’s grace, they must first learn to thrill in God’s Word.

Whether new to family worship or a seasoned veteran, this volume, under the Spirit’s blessing, is fit to expand your family’s delight in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments.

Family worship is concerned with more than Bible stories.  Ideally there is an upward spiral of knowledge and piety that results from the study of both scripture and doctrine, the one illuminating the other in an ever heightening true knowledge of God.  The strength of this series of books in general and of this volume on the doctrine of scripture in particular is that it leads family worship into the deeper waters in which family devotional life needs to go.  We want our families not only to know the content of scripture, but also to be convinced that the scripture is trustworthy, reliable, and authoritative.  This book will help us to get there.
