Publisher's Summary

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 children - 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 heart - but do you find yourself giving in to screen time just to get through the day? You want to parent with purpose - 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 structure - from mealtimes to bedtimes - 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.

Figures and chapter outlines are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Required reading/listen for every parent

Honest
Biblical
Practical

It was refreshing to listen to a book that looks at the very real and hard work of shepherding a child and what it looks like to intentionally lean into that and work to be faithful by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Also so eye opening to consider that our family has habits in place - healthy or otherwise - and to think on how those habits are forming as as people and as a family unit.

Much food for thought.

Heartwarming and Heart-challenging

This book was perfect for me as a parent of young kids, felt like talking to an intentional older parent friend who challenged me to put godly habits in place during this busy season of life where it’s too easy to let the important things slide!

More gentle parenting

I was slightly disappointed in the fact that this book is more gentle parenting than I expected. scripture specifically speaks against the gentle parenting philosophy
