| | | Recommendations for Family Worship
My wife was looking through the Reformation Heritage Books catalog yesterday and was interested in a lot of the books related to family. Her birthday is coming up so I will probably get one or two books. However, I don't know much about the books. What would you buy? Why?

I'm currently reading Joel Beeke's Family Worship. It's concise, easy to read, very relevant, and Biblical. Beeke writes as a Reformed pastor and one who has benefited from the family worship gatherings led by his father. As recommendations for further reading, he leads the reader to many of the authors you mentioned. His book is a good introduction on the subject.

I voted "Church in the House by Henry" and "Other".
Not a how-to guide but I would also highly recommend "Family Driven Faith" by Dr. Voddie Baucham and "Of Domestical Duties" by William Gouge. Great books!
