Spiritual growth is a necessary part of the Christian's life, but a failure to practice biblical meditation hinders such growth. Today, many believers misunderstand this core Christian discipline because they associate it with New Age spirituality and false religions. During the Puritan age, however, many ministers preached and wrote about meditation, and in this pamphlet, Joel R. Beeke guides us through their instruction on this subject. By God's grace, "perhaps we can recover the biblical practice of meditation for our time."

Dr. Beeke offers a heartfelt and solemn plea for families to return to Biblical, consistent, and passionate family worship. With pastoral insight and care, the author provides practical and valuable answers to the practice of family worship, and at the same time, addresses objections raised against it. In a world of impossible standards and idealism, this audiobook is a helpful and motivating guide to implement or increase the depth of your family devotions.
