Habits of the Household

Why I'd hand it to you

Justin Whitmel Earley, a lawyer and father, writes about the ordinary routines of family life, like waking up, mealtimes, discipline, screens, bedtime and conversations, and how they can become small practices that shape a family's faith and character. Each chapter ends with simple habits to try. The tone is honest about how messy family life is. It is written from a Christian perspective, so readers outside the faith may find much of it doesn't apply. Some suggestions also assume a two-parent household with some flexibility. For Christian parents looking for a practical rhythm, it is encouraging.
