Understanding Family Worship
Its History, Theology and Practice
Terry L. Johnson
Companion to The Family Worship Book
Includes wisdom gleaned from classic writers
Chapter on catechizing
The practice of family worship has been a foundation stone of faith for many families across many generations. In his book The Family Worship Book, Terry L. Johnson aided families to have meaningful times of devotion together. In this supplement to The Family Worship Book he seeks to strengthen and enrich those devotions. He begins by looking at the godly home, which provides the vital context for family worship. Then the biblical and theological arguments for daily family worship in are examined drawing from the Old and New Testaments as well as the classic authors. He then moves on to develop the elements or practices of which family worship consists, as well as helpful tips for establishing the discipline practice of family worship. Finally, he discusses catechizing.

… 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.

This is a short book, but has long term consequences for you and your family. Get it and read it. Then get on your knees and pray for strength to put it into practice.

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.

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.
