Family devotions are like exercising. They sounds like a great idea, but for many there're just so difficult to actually do. The good news is that family devotions are not incredibly difficult. You don't have to be a pastor. You don't have to have a seminary degree. You don't have to have completed a family devotions training. In my sermon Train Your Children, from the book of Proverbs, I suggested that one of the ways we can better teach our children is by doing regular family devotions. And all it takes is opening the Bible, talking about it, and praying. 

Now I know for some that is easier said than done. So I've compiled a list of great resources to help you and your spouse starting leading your family in regular devotions:

A Beginer's Guide to Family Worship, Windfield Bevins
