Family Worship

It is a common occurrence that a man struggles with how to provide spiritual leadership to his wife and children. Why is that? Perhaps it is because —

Laying aside all flattering words, I may say plainly that I regard the neglect of family worship as springing from lukewarmness and worldliness in religion. [J. W. Alexander]

Is there anything that can be done to have a heart change? In a concise (28 pp.) booklet entitled Family Worship, Don Whitney offers gentle and wise counsel about providing that leadership, surveying the biblical teaching on family worship, how it has been done throughout church history, and briefly some simple how-to's of family worship. The booklet is based on a two-part sermon series he preached last summer (audio 1 | audio 2).
