Leading and nurturing your family as you seek to glorify God and encourage spiritual growth in your home is both God’s command and your privilege. One of the best and most effective ways to do this is through intentional, worshipful, daily family devotions where the truths of God’s life-changing Word are openly discussed chapter by chapter.
Hand in hand with your Bible, this Family Worship Bible Guide presents rich devotional thoughts on all 1,189 chapters in the Bible, including searching questions to promote conversation, to help you with this responsibility. Use this resource every day alongside Scripture to read each chapter’s major takeaways aloud and then discuss them with your family.
With the Holy Spirit’s blessing, this book will transform you and your family!
“The power of God’s Word is seen most clearly as that Word is understood and applied to the lives of God’s people. In the Family Worship Bible Guide, we have a unique resource that offers to bring that dynamic power of the Word into our personal and family worship. For each chapter of Scripture, seasoned pastors and teachers offer brief, pointed comments that simultaneously explain the biblical text and apply it to readers’ lives and experiences. With the Spirit's blessing, the Family Worship Bible Guide promises to be used to infuse biblical life, warmth, discussion, and power into personal and family worship. It certainly has in our family!” —Dr. Stephen Myers, associate professor of church history, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan

Best commentary for teaching young dads
Posted by Mike Berkenpas on 1st Jun 2023
I am gifting copies of this excellent devotional aid to young men in my church. It encourages them to read a Bible chapter a night at family worship and have something to say, while gaining confidence in leading. Soon they will lead beyond the text. This tool is also one of the most helpful tools for college-bound kids in establishing a devotional time. Thank you!

Family Worship Bible Guide

I bought many to give out as graduation gifts and have given some as wedding gifts. This is a great addition to family devotion time when you are reading through the Bible. It brings helpful insights you may not think about for each chapter as you read and when you are going through the difficult books like Leviticus and Numbers and a few others it really gives you a "push" to take it all, one chapter at a time, and not to feel like giving up when the reading becomes difficult.

This Is The Book I Would Take To A Desert Island!
Posted by Daylan Nussbaum on 23rd May 2023
I have found no other "Scripture help", so to speak, as helpful as this one. This is an amazing resource for leading family worship. However, I have personally used this volume everyday in private devotions and it has been an immense help to me. Many times I have found, as I am sure you have, that it is very easy to read the Scriptures and quickly move on without very much, if any, meditation on the truths therein. Yet the little meditation that might happen is still much greater than the time given to application. I find that I very seldom move the truth from my head, to my heart, to my hands. However, this "Family Worship Guide" that, and it does that expertly and experientially. For each chapter in Scripture there are 1-4 small paragraphs of explanatory application. Even on passages that would seem inapplicable, like Numbers 7 for example! This book is well worth every cent!

This resource has been extremely helpful to me leading my wife toward Christ. It gives us talking points from the texts we read within the Scriptures and helps us to grow closer together and closer to Christ. Great resource for any family but especially for ones that work full-time throughout the week.
