Read by the author.

Discover simple habits and easy-to-implement daily rhythms that will help you find meaning beyond the chaos of family life as you create a home where kids and parents alike practice how to love God and each other.

You long for tender moments with your childrenâ??but do you ever find yourself too busy to stop, make eye contact, and say something you really mean? Daily habits are powerful ways to shape the heartâ??but do you find yourself giving in to screen time just to get through the day? You want to parent with purposeâ??but do you know how to start?

Award-winning author and father of four Justin Whitmel Earley understands the tension between how you long to parent and what your daily life actually looks like. In Habits of the Household, Earley gives you the tools you need to create structureâ??from mealtimes to bedtimesâ??that free you to parent toddlers, kids, and teens with purpose. Learn how to:

  • Develop a bedtime liturgy to settle your little ones and ground them in God's love
  • Discover a new framework for discipline as discipleship
  • Acquire simple practices for more regular and meaningful family mealtimes
  • Open your eyes to the spirituality of parenting, seeing small moments as big opportunities for spiritual formation
  • Develop a custom age chart for your family to more intentionally plan your shared years under the same roof
  • Each chapter in Habits of the Household ends with practical patterns, prayers, or liturgies that your family can put into practice right away. As you create liberating rhythms around your everyday routines, you will find your family has a greater sense of peace and purpose as your home becomes a place where, above all, you learn how to love.

    Every Christian couple (children or not) need to read this book. Yes, it is a wonderful foundation for those who have children in establishing practices, liturgical practices, and God at the center. But honestly, the book tackles marriage habits, screen time habits, .....so practical for all seasons of life.

    It is also a book where it did not say things like "you need to ban all screen time" or "You need to do ____". It encourages taking it all back to the cross and asking for his guidance. And what that looks like for your family. I found that wonderful because let's face it, I have Audrey watch some TV; Scott and I watch TV. But there are boundaries and that is good.

    Seriously, I'm buying this book and doing another read. And I've already passed on my recommendation to someone else! ( )
